Details & Information about

Carnival Cruise Lines Ship … the Holiday

The Holiday is worth every penny that was spent to build her. From the moment she started to embark passengers for her maiden cruise, Holiday has celebrated with over 1,400 passengers twice a week. Because of the large number of satisfied cruisers, Holiday has received a 98% vote of confidence. The small two percent must have been looking for a quiet, sophisticated cruise ship and not the big, and sometimes loud, FUN SHIP that she is. As many as 1,850 passengers a week can fill the upper berths with laughing, partying, feasting, not to mention sunning, sightseeing and enjoying their time aboard. Carnival Holiday, it is just more fun.  Currently the Holiday sails from Mobile, Alabama on 4 and 5 Night Western Caribbean Cruises.

Everyday is a Holiday, for you to celebrate however you please, aboard this fantastic floating resort. Spend your time at sea enjoying the onboard experience, including: fabulous food, duty-free shopping, endless entertainment and a friendly casino. Or, just laze the day away on the ship’s sun-drenched decks. It's your vacation to spend your way.
