Chat Noir Posted July 15, 2007 #5 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Enjoy! I'm glad your port hours worked for Island Wings... and those are the same hours we had on the Mercury earlier this year. We loved the size of the Mercury... easy to learn the layout. Navigator's Club at the front has great protected viewing, and it is still just seconds to outside decks for some fabulous picture taking. We often had breakfast at the grill... aft on Lido. Yummy waffles! You have some wondeful tours planned, with a nice full schedule. Enjoy Alaska! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
