Carnival Holiday up for sale; looks pretty great

[LMaxwell]

The ex-Carnival Holiday is up for sale. Let's all chip in and buy her. Well, maybe not.

 

But she sure looks great and very ship shape.

such great memories !!! Enjoyed looking at all the pictures!! Thanks!

Boy they certainly gave that old rust bucket quite a face lift. Took my first cruise on that ship.

She looks better in these photos then when I sailed her in '95. How she looks and operates "under the hood" remains to be seen.

[getupgo]

Do you remember what port you sailed from on her in 95. I'm trying to figure out my past cruises for credits and can't remember but I know we sailed on her.

Looks better the most Carnival ships IMPO I am not a fan of Farkis needless to say

[LMaxwell]

I think my parents went on this ship in 88. Will have to forward them the link

 

 

Really loving all the giant windows/sea views you can see in the two level lounge.

Very cool, thanks for posting!

 

I found a cruise ship for sale on there for about 10 million and I was slightly tempted...hehe. I could renovate the entire ship and make it such a cool luxury ship...now I just have to win the lottery, about a dozen times.

San Pedro.

Prettier than any Carnival ship I've seen. They should buy it back!

[Tapi]

Bring her back to Mobile! :D

 

She may have been old, small and outdated, and the short itinerary to Cozumel may have been the same ol', but our cruise on the Holiday from Mobile ranks as one of my favorite!

Mine also. My first 3. The third one I brought 21 others along. Lot of memories!!!

The ship certainly looked in great shape in Barcelona a few years ago. Ibero is (or soon will be) absorbed into Costa. Celebration will transfer but the beards decided Holiday had to go. A shame because Holiday was one of my favorite ships.

 

I would think that as a condition of sale the funnel would have to go.

I agree bring her back to Mobile. One of our favorite cruises was on the Holiday, the crew was among the best!

[LMaxwell]

Even more throwback fun, an article from when Holiday was new. I think she looks even better now!

Group buy anyone? Let's all chip in and have our own exclusive CC ship 365 days a year. Who's in?:)

[bm6pm5]

It's only listed at 55 million. I'm sure we can talk it down.:)

"Can I use OBC to offset purchase of your ship?"

[The4Cruisers]

I'll throw in $20.00 :D

 

Seriously though, I would sail on Holiday and Celebration again with no problem. I enjoyed both of these ships.

[cjknox]

This ship is a classic that'll always be remembered.

Again? Shocked. Someone put so much into her, that she was so unrecognizable after they finished. If I were walking through that refurbished ship, I would have never known it was her till I came up top and saw the funnel.

I took my 1st cruise on this ship in 1987...it is the reason for my "cruise addiction". Sailed on her again in 1990. Thanks so much for posting this and the link to the Cruise Travel magazine.......Donna:D

[bm6pm5]

Celebration was our first ship.

[lucigo]

I see they still have the same artwork in the cabins. I remember one cruise having art that was a bit risque (kids thought it was just gross LOL)

 

We loved the Holiday, the small town feel to the ship, friendliest staff in the fleet. Mobile was a great port to cruise from!!
