Carnival Cruise Line’s newest ship, Carnival Horizon, made its US debut in New York City May 23 with a VIP invitation-only pier side overnight featuring a naming ceremony with godmother Queen Latifah.

Latifah also squared off in a special version of Lip Sync Battle against Jake Elliott of the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. The ship is offering a summer schedule of four-day Bermuda and eight-day Caribbean voyages from New York before repositioning to Miami for year-round six- and eight-day Caribbean sailings in September.
