We were also on the Holiday 6/20-6/25. The whole family agrees that we can't wait to book another cruise but we know that we won't  have the pleasure of going on the Holiday again and that is sad because she really is a great little ship.  Our room steward and waiters were the best and we too wanted to bring them home ...

Last July on the Holiday we had an Oceanview cabin on the Riviera Deck.  It was very quiet, no drunks or running kids but it was very very HOT!!!  Maintenance came and totally removed the ceiling vent cover which did help some.  We noticed that the air conditioners were all on the top of the ship.  This year when we went ...
