I totally agree! We were there with you on the Holiday (6/20-6/25). I too was skeptical after reading so many negative comments. However, I tried to keep in mind the positive ones too. My family's experience was great. We loved Cozumel and couldn't believe how beautiful the water was! You are right about the staff. Everyone was great.

Now let the fun begin. For my cocoNUT buddies the party is in the same place same time at Cozumel. We are expecting double digit gathering so some new meeting and greeting to do. Marsha has heard from Manuel and Pedro will serve, April is our designated driver so feel free. I did not get the suite so no party in my room. Drive carefully and arrive safely. I will see all of you on board, you know my cell #. Very merry 4th of July.

My husband and I will be on the 4th cruise, also, along with a couple of friends (one is a cruise virgin). I've been on the Holiday before, last year with 7 other teacher/friends for spring break. We had the best service I've ever had on that cruise... food was wonderful, waiter and asst. waiter were the absolute best of the 7 cruises I've been on. Can't wait for this one.

To whoever asked about fireworks: No, I think Disney is the only cruise line that has permission to shoot fireworks. We were on the Fantasy last 4th, not much different from any other cruise, except the trivia questions (pool games) were all US history questions.

Time to start doing laundry and pack!

I just returned on the 25th from a cruise on the holiday. I was very skeptical about going on this cruise due to all the negative reviews it got on these blogs. I had a WONDERFUL time! nothing that was said that was bad never happened. My family and I had a great time and the boat was great and the staff was wonderful. We were all treated like kings and queens. I cannot believe that anyone would give this boat a bad review. the Mexican ports were so much fun. We went to the Nach Cocom beach resort in Cozumel and had a blast! Please do not listen to any bad reviews and have a great time. Wish I could go again on this same ship.

My husband and I will be cruising the Holiday on the 4th as well. This is our first cruise and also our first family vacation without the kids....I guess not much a family vacation then . We are looking forward to the ship and Mexico...I've been reading the reviews about Holiday some good others not so good, for us it's about what you make of it. So we're looking forward to it. See you all soon!

We'll be there for our third cruise. First was on the Jubilee. I'm curious to experience again the smaller ship. The reviews I hear lately are encouraging. I wonder if we'll be treated to fireworks the evening of the 4th? We're really looking forward to this. First time taking the kids. The 11 year old daughter is very excited. My son and his new bride were married in March and went on the Conquest for their honeymoon. They got bit by the cruise bug and are going with us too. Any cruise is what you make it, and we're looking forward to a great time. See 'ya there!

Haydeneh, Let me answer your inquiry from two planes. First Metaphysical next Mundane. I am connected to the Oceans and the Ethereal sky. From the deep sea when you see the moon light reflect on the waves it becomes millions point of light. When the big dipper rotates around the North Star the vastness vanishes all small problems. In the Ocean rain come to dance, waves come to greet, winds come to whisper, lightning is lyrics and thunder is music. These draws me to the Ocean like a magnet. The other reason for crusing is very mundane, I love people, party, travel and entertainment. Don't wonder or worry so much, just come and enjoy responsibly. You will have a good time. Happy birthday America.

Suku, What keeps bringing you back for cruise after cruise? Everyone I have talked to enjoys their cruise, but know I am wondering why I finally decided to take a cruise. I am more of a lans explorer and don't even like to go out on our boat on the lake??? Doing something in Mexico really appeals to me but now I am realizing the down side of such a limited amount of time in port.....

I will be there too. I am a frequent floater and I show up in any carnival ship anywhere and without planning or notice.

My wiffe and I will be cruising on the 4th on the Holiday as well. We have only cruised one other time on the Glory out of Port Canaveral last August. We can't wait to get on the ship, Mexico sounds like it will be a lot of fun.
