Holiday is a Holiday Class cruise ship for Carnival Cruise Lines. She sails on four and five day itineraries through the Western Caribbean from Mobile, Alabama.

[edit] Ship History

Holiday entered service in 1985. She is currently the smallest ship in the Carnival fleet. Any smaller ships have either been decommissioned or sold off to another cruise line. The ship's condition had been in decline until 2003, when it was sent into the dry docks and renovated. In 2005, during Hurricane Katrina, she was used as temporary housing for victims of the storm. After leaving Mississippi, she again went to the dry docks for an additional three weeks of renovations. New carpeting and plumbing were added and repairs to the propellers were made, among other improvements. Holiday has since resumed its normal route in the Western Caribbean.
