I've never been on a cruise before, but if this was a typical cruise, I'll be going again. I got this cruise at auction and paid less then most would. Even at the regular trip price, it's well worth it.

The only bad things were a couple of public ladies room toilets were not up to par and a late night Mexican buffet could have been skipped. It was less than an acceptable meal. The rest of the food and dining experience was great. The waiter (team), we had in the main dining room, was wonderful and I wish I had service like this at most restaurants ashore. In fact service from everyone aboard was great! The onboard entertainment was good and we were kept busy at all times, with plenty to do.

I've read reviews, for this ship, elsewhere and now after taking a cruise on the Holiday, I must disagree with most of the negatives I'd heard. It was a great trip and I'll be looking forward to my next Carnival vacation.
