Holiday Cruise Ship?

Question

I am planning to go to carnival cruise holiday cruise ship out of mobile, al and want to know experiences from people who have boarded the cruise ship. Good or bad? was the food good? how is the night life? thanks for any info!

Answer 1

I was on the Carnival Holiday in January 2001 when it was in Los Angeles.  It was my second cruise and the first one I booked myself.  The Carnival Holiday was built in 1985 and was fairly new compared to my first cruise (on a 40 year old ship).  

The food was good.  However, I have been on two Carnival cruises since, in 2004 and 2006 (and have two future Carnival cruises booked).  Carnival has been working on upgrading its food, and now I would expect the food on the Carnival Holiday to be very good.

The ship is older (over 20 years old now) and is the smallest ship in the Carnival fleet.  Still, I was impressed with its size (it was twice the size of my first cruise ship).  My jaw just dropped when I realized that it has a full sized bus on board (as part of the Bus Stop Bar on Broadway - the ship has a New York theme).  

Here is a picture of the Holiday ...
