Pros: The food and service was excellent Cons: It was a bit pricy
During the 1999 Spring Break, I went on the Celebrity Mercury cruise ship. We were scheduled for two days at sea, and to stop at the Grand Caymans, Calica, Cozumel, and Key West. We departed From Ft. Lauderdale.
Pros: the food, the food, and the food Cons: excursions
We took the Celebrity Mercury in October 1998 on a Western Caribbean itinerary (Key West, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen, and Grand Cayman). With airfare it was around $1100 per person.
This was our first cruise and it exceeded our expectations!...
Pros: service Cons: children not monitored in discotheque
we took this trip as a nuclear family reunion in 1998.
rooms
we had three rooms. the outside room had ample space. the two inside rooms, each housing 2 adults and one 8 year old child were cramped. in one room the steward had to...
Pros: Friendly staff, beautiful ship Cons: lack of pampering, lack of dining options, lack of transportation to the advertised ports.
My husband and I cruised on the Mercury for the Oct . 31 sailing date along with two of our friends. We are frequent cruisers and have taken advantage of several lines including Holland America, Royal Caribbean, Carnival and Norwegian Cruise Lines. We...
I went on the M/V Mercury for a southbound Alaskan cruise from Seward to Vancouver in July of 2000. This was the first time that I've been on a cruise along with six other family members. To sum it up, it was great.
Pros: cuisine, ship's decor Cons: port stops too short
This was my second cruise, taken a year after cruising on Celebrity's Galaxy. While it was still a nice time, it really didn't compare to our experience on Galaxy, in terms of the ship or the ports.
Pros: Great destinations, something for everyone Cons: Upfront price, but in the long run it is worth it
My mom and I went on a cruise recently aboard the Mercury, leaving from Ft. Lauderdale Florida. We had been on one cruise years before through Royal Caribbean, which is hard to beat. And although Celebrity didn't quite beat them, they are a very close...
Pros: food in formal dining room, cleanliness Cons: food elsewhere, customer service, children under 3
We paid an extra $500 to bring our 1 year old. They were only to provide a crib and high chair (no food, no bedding, no diapers). The crib presented to us did not meet any US safety standards. My son's head could fit through the bars. We opted to...
My husband and I have cruised approximately 5 times and we can honestly say that this was one of our most enjoyable cruises that we have taken. We had to fly into San Diego from the East Coast but Celebrity arranged our flights and transfers. They met us ...
Pros: Great personalized service, fantastic food, good shows, good excursions, great value for money! Cons: Ports cut short by cruiseline, drinks expensive!
Our trip started in Kentucky and we flew into Seattle. We (my husband and I) arrived in Seattle around 11AM local and took a cab to the pier. Celebrity's pier 66 is wonderfully located right in the downtown area. The cab fare with tip was $35. ...
Pros: overall amenities, excursions, concierge class stateroom, stateroom attendant, and service at dinner. Cons: pictures are ridiculously expensive, service at open seatings and buffets is less attentive
We just returned from our honeymoon to Alaska on the Celebrity Mercury. It was in a word - fabulous! Our stateroom was "Concierge Class" and included a veranda. The "Concierge Class" status let us skip the entire line for embarkation. Our room ...
Pros: Classy and great service. Cons: Spa classes and seminars were a bit lame.
This was our first cruise and we didn't expect much. We were very pleasantly surprised. Check-in was a breeze. We got there about 2:15 and were in our stateroom (after having to get assigned our "Guaranteed Oceanview Stateroom", and giving up our ...
Pros: Food in the formal dinning room was excellent, but the buffet was only average. Cons: Sleeping accommodations were extremely poor, customer service was non-existent and activities were poorly organized.
The following is a letter I mailed to the President of Celebrity Cruise Line, Rick Sasso. To date no satisfactory response has issued by Celebrity. What you can't see are the photographs I sent. They show a room with two standard beds and a cot in...
Pros: Everything was great. Cons: Bring your own hairdryer; their's is weak. that's it.
My family of 5 just returned from the Anchorage to Vancouver leg (7 nights) from the July 27 cruise date. Previous comments I had read were problems with embark. and disemb; so I was ready for the worst. Was pleasantly surprised that with how many...
The Mercury, by the Celebrity is one of the more casual ships in the carribean. It also has its finer points, though. I was on it as a teen and had a very enthralling time. I made many friends, a handfull of whom I'm still in contact with today. This...
