luckycruzer Posted June 11, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 11, 2010 it is alive and well in Spain. I missed it in port by one day!..Darn..but have the Cruze Book from Corte Ingles Travel Dept with the new pics in it. FAB looking, but do recognize some of the rooms and corner shots of the old gal. My heart went thump! Our Coach mates were goinf on 5 B2B's and Grande Holiday was one of them. It just innauged May 10th. Maybe can find a pal to scan and post for me.

JRock59 Posted June 11, 2010 #2 Share Posted June 11, 2010 She was a great ole' ship but really did need some work done! Her crew is what made her fun in the final years. Keep us posted and have a GREAT time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting_Cruiser Posted June 11, 2010 #3 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Oh, I hope you're able to post pictures! The Holiday was our first cruise (13 years ago) and we fell in love with cruising the moment we stepped on deck. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolzCruiser Posted June 12, 2010 #4 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Thank God she is gone. She was nothing more than a pig boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2thesea Posted June 12, 2010 #9 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I sailed on the Holiday on her Inagugural Sailing.....what fun that was. She was the first new cruise ship in many years, new ships weren't a dime a dozen then:D Glad to hear she is doing well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachbum6264 Posted June 12, 2010 #11 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I cruised on the Holiday twice, and loved it... the best waitstaff and room stewards we've ever had. The pictures are amazing, tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseygirl79 Posted June 12, 2010 #12 Share Posted June 12, 2010 They did an awesome job with the rennovations. She looks beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler353 Posted June 12, 2010 #13 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I had four outstanding cruises on the Holiday. The new owners have done a great job with the updates and makeover. It might be worth a trip to Spain to take one more cruise on her. Pig Boat=submarine. As far as I knew the Holiday was a cruise ship.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChefSusan Posted June 12, 2010 #15 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Holiday was my very first Carnival ship, so she holds a very special part of my heart. I am so glad to see that she cleaned up so nicely... On her I found out the real reason why they used to call Carnival the "fun" ships *lol* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luv2cruise777l Posted June 12, 2010 #18 Share Posted June 12, 2010 The Holiday was the very first cruise ship I sailed on back in 1996 and from then there was no stopping me! 24 cruises later with my 25th Milestone cruise coming up on the Spirit in Aug., she holds a very special place in my heart!:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooninsurance Posted June 12, 2010 #19 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I sailed on the Holiday in 2004. She was my first taste at cruising. We had such a good time how could I not catch the cruise bug. I was sorry for her to go, but boy does she look good since the overhaul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpmaximus Posted June 12, 2010 #20 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Wow she looks absolutely amazing! Looks like a brand new ship. Wish Carnival could make all their older ships look like she does now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirwinston Posted June 12, 2010 #21 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Wow All I can say is LUCKYY SPANIYARDS. I am sure they will look oh so cool against the swanky new interiors. I forgot about the gym overlooking the pool. Sometimes much more fun that just looking over the bow at the water. Holiday has been reborn !
