Dreading holiday with dsd

We've booked to have a week away and we're taking dsd 16yo with us and i'm dreading it.
Even dp isn't looking forward to it shes changed so much in the past few months.
I don't want to say anything to my dp because she is his daughter and she was in his life long before i came along.
My main problem is that she keeps upsetting dp and he gets stroppy with me.
This will be our first family holiday together and i just want to go away and have a nice relaxing time and not be sat there thinking horrible things.
She's just got engaged and we haven't met her boyfriend and i just know she's going to ask us if he can come with us,if he doesn't then she will spend all her time talking and texting him.
Is there any way i can say all this to my dp without sounding like a total bitch?

I feel your pain, it was exactly the same with my DSD. No advice really, I had to just put up and get on with it, luckily now she is a bit older and has holidays with her friends and bf instead of with us. At 16, at least you shouldnt have to do it for many times in the future, this will probably be the only time.
