dkjretired Posted August 3, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Beautiful ship, one of the secrets were the four outside cabins on the sky deck on each side and each end of the deck. They were regular outside cabins with huge verands's. Word got around on this board and people swooped them up, became very hard to get. Same set up on the Galaxy. They were some of the first cabins switched over to Concierge when that category was introduce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLH Arizona Posted August 3, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I cruised her on an Alaska cruise in 2002. It was my second cruise to Alaska, but I enjoyed it like it was my first. Thanks for reminding me what a great cruise I had on the Mercury and what a great ship she was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judatt Posted August 3, 2014 #7 Share Posted August 3, 2014 We sailed the Mercury for 15 luxurious nights back in 1998 for our 25th anniversary. Got on in Fort Lauderdale and got off in Los Angeles and went through the Panama Canal. It was a repositioning cruise from the Caribbean to Alaska and about 20% of the ship was staying on for the follow on cruise of 14 nights from L.A. up to Seward. Would have loved to have done that but 15 nights was a long time for us. We received a certificate saying that we were the largest ship through the Panama Canal at that time. Great cruise!

BEAV Posted August 3, 2014 #8 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Mercury was our first =X= cruise back in February 2000. We were fortunate to sail her two more times before she left the fleet. Miss her terribly and disappointed to see Century now leaving the fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faircliff Posted August 3, 2014 #9 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Our very first ever cruise was on Celebrity Mercury. Been hooked on cruising ever since! Ditto. Our first cruise ever. Got us hooked. Excellent service. Loved the champagne greeting, the ice cream, entertainment... everything! Heading off today on Century to Alaska. Sailed her once before. This will be the last on her.

bachcruise Posted August 3, 2014 #19 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I loved the Mercury! In 2001 I did a B2B on her in Alaska and it was probably the best cruise I've been on. Everything was perfect and the ship was beautiful. To me it felt like a perfect combo of the Century and Galaxy. I remember having some serious post cruise depression after that trip.

cannongate Posted August 3, 2014 #21 Share Posted August 3, 2014 The Mercury was the ship that made me fall in love with cruising. I can't believe that its been over 10 years since I sailed her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaBag Posted August 4, 2014 #22 Share Posted August 4, 2014 We spent 49 wonderful days on her on 3 separate trips. We were on the first trip to OZ and that is probably our best cruise to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
