This takes me back - I worked on the Holiday as a croupier, before transferring the Celebration and then into Holland America's Westerdam.

First cruise was on this in 1991 when it was brand new.

From an ocean liner (transantlantic) to Cruice ship

Thank you for posting!

I saw her in the port of San Juan in December ‘91. I was on my first cruise on the Star Princess. She turned heads back then and I was lucky enough to sail on her sister, Majesty of the Seas, in 1995. I miss the old days of cruising!

I remember this commercial! Wow! I can't believe it! Now, forty years later, I finally did my first Carnival cruise, and I loved it!

When carnival was really high value with 24 hours room service, etc.

Lol. Non smoking. Way to take the fun out of "funship". Looks like a bunch of boring people and I've been on a lot of cruises.

I worked 3 ships for Carnival (1993)as a musician! It was the greatest job I ever had! They are all great people that were very good to Me! I have since invested in Carnival stocks and have really enjoyed seeing the company continue to grow through its people building and with job promotions from within!

I bet you it was a highly sought after job being one of the gentleman companions for the single female seagoers. Where can I sign up for that job?

I worked in the band on the Carnivale back in 93 best time of my life!😊

I was a kid on Horizon sometimes in 1990s. I miss my parents, they always gave us the best vacations

I worked on this ship in 1986 - wonderful experience

Traveled on all the Sovereign class ships and the Legend and Grandeur at their beginning and the quality of the product then was first class food service and entertainment was excellent.RCCI started to fall away with the arrival of the Radience Class and then the Voyager class is when Royal Caribbean went into the floating resorts and lost their individual cruising experience.The ships got bigger and bigger and changed their customer base .The ports now are overcrowded and these modern experiences are not relaxing.

I was so happy to find this video! The Grandeur of the Seas was my very first cruise-back in May of 1998. It was my Honeymoon, and I booked an Owner’s Suite (the DaVinci Suite #8502), situated one door away from the Captain’s wheelhouse. It was an absolutely amazing room with first class butler service, and the ship was top of the line at the time. I am amazed-but not entirely surprised-that it is still in service today! I’ve been on many incredible and massive Royal Caribbean ships since then, but would love to take one more cruise on this amazing vessel!

This is a true beautiful ship... Everything coming out now is so sadly not real cruising.

Jamás olvidare mi primer Barco Royal Princess

Fue mi primer barco donde trabaje para Princess Cruises

I've been on the Conquest and the Elation. definitely a fun time!

3:25 Not a great advertisement for a cruise to illustrate how you can’t escape the people who annoy you.

I went on the Mardi Gras in the late 80s, I don't think they had any balcony rooms

one of my fave ships. so many teak decks

Took our first cruise on her in 95…..best cruise ever

She is ready for the scrap yard .. She is in really rough shape these days.. our bathroom was piss soaked from a million drunk dudes pissing in it since the 90s 🤣🤣🤣 I think that ship has its own species of norovirus also ...

Loved the Holiday ship. I worked on that ship as a photographer.

never sailed her but boy have times changed. you barely see the chefs anymore

I admit I'm a Harry sometimes ..

Actually Sin Princess was the original Love Boat followed by Island Princess then Pacific Princess! I had the fortune to sail on both Island and Pacific Princess!

I always wondered why she was named Cunard Princess? Was it a dig against Princess Cruises ships?

I sailed on her when she was Royal Viking Sky for a trip to no where out of New York in the mid 80's That Sunday we sailing down the Long Island Sound, surrounded by all the Weekend pleasure craft. when a cigarette type speed boat thought it be fun to cross the ship's wake, On one pass the boat did a backflip . Of course the ship stopped to help, but there was so many boats around they rescued the driver of the speed boat. The ship itself was beautiful!

Amazing how high the standard of service and food and entertainment was on those RC Ships I was lucky enough to have travel on them even up to the voyager class ships just once , the beginning of the massive ships and the massive changes in standards .

The days of Royal Caribbean, the only thing that's royal about them today is the size of their ships.

An insightful video of 1990s CUNARD. They have progressed even further so well since. The brand has been enhanced. My favorite cruise line. Their safety at sea is legendry. They are the 'real thing'. They invented ocean travel.

All the staff were really English back then.

This was fascinating. My impression was ‘May we drain your wallet Sir? Voyage with us, nip back on Concorde to have your Bentley waiting to whisk you to one of many Châteaux??’ Cunard in this time was uber expensive and an indulgence of the well-heeled. Unfortunately this model was never going to see the company survive so it had to evolve to meet more egalitarian tastes. Thankfully it has. It still has that certain something, but the elitism has disappeared thankfully. Now the company thrives as it needs to do. Whilst QE2 and Caronia were nice ships, they were both well past their prime by 1999 when this was filmed. I remember seeing QE2 really close up in port one time around then and she looked really tired. I have sailed with Cunard and will do a transatlantic soon on Queen Mary 2. We loved our previous experience and are looking forward to the next. Cunard is not as ‘stuffy’ as portrayed here…

While the ships look beautiful, I think it is way too fancy for my taste. My husband and I thought about doing a transatlantic on Cunard, then did some research on the line. It isn't our style, but I am sure it is wonderful for others.

Gasp! Concept art for QM2 :) @6:10

Wow! David McCallum is narrating!

I was on this ship in 1986...i was 7 years old...i had an amazing time, and i just got off a carnival cruise back to the Mexican rivera 2 weeks ago....love crusing and love carnival ❤

never got a chance to sail this one

Boy! I wish these ships were still around. The old style cruising was so much better than the modern cruises. I sailed on the Holiday in 1988.

I wish I could’ve been around for this era of cruising

Awesome!

They need to bring back the no smoking cruises

The last steam powered ship ever built

I might have cruised on the Celebration.

Is this Kim Cattrall playing Barbara??
