Celebrity Mercury

Pros: service, food, ambiance of public spaces
Cons: cramped feel of staterooms

Took cruise on the Mercury in December of 1999. The cruise from Fort
Lauderdale made calls at Key West, Cozumel, and Grand Cayman. This is not
a cruise for dedicated shoppers except for Grand Cayman which is an outlet
for luxury goods....

Pros: Large, Great food and service
Cons: not good for young children

Last Christmas I traveled on this magnificent ship. The ship has great entertainment, food, and service. If you have a lot of young children this probably wouldn't be the right cruise for you but teenagers love it. This was my 12 cruise and possibly...

Pros: Service, Food, Price
Cons: none

Great time cruising with friends on the Celebrity Mercury in January 2000. We have cruised Celebrity before; twice on the Century, and once on the Zenith.

The ship is beautiful - fabulously clean, as all Celebrity ships seem to be. One major...

Pros: Great staff, food, and amenities
Cons: Smoking still allowed on port side through out ship except dining rooms.

My husband and I took the Alaskan cruise on the Mercury and it was a great trip. The ship is beautiful and the staff was excellent. The amenities the ship had to offer were first class and the food was fantastic and the presentation wonderful. The...

Pros: Staff, organization, food, pleasant atmosphere and quality of ship, baby-friendly
Cons: Entertainment was not up to par

Having grown up cruising with my parents (15+ cruises from age 8 on), my standards are quite high. Celebrity met and exceeded most of my expectations.

The staff was excellent, the boarding and disembarking procedures efficient and organized,...

Pros: service staff excellent. waiters were professional in their job.
Cons: ship in dismal repair.too many things gone wrong.bad decisions made

My husband and I cruised aboard the Mercury from Sydney to Honolulu for a total of 29 days. The carpet was split in many places - the food the first 2 weeks was mediocre at best - there were 2 ports of call that they were unable to get us to, then ...

Pros: Excellent food and service. Good ports of call.
Cons: Some tours are very overpriced. Too many days at sea on Australian/New Zealand cruise.

I just returned from a wonderful cruise on the Mercury that started out in Sydney and ended in Auckland. One thing I was concerned about and would like others to know (who may not)is about the tipping. I noticed that on the last night in the dining ...

Pros: We did not even have a chance to enjoy the vacation
Cons: Exorbitant fees, not being told of the NO re-embarkation policy, overblown medical diagnosis

My parents, husband and I took the 7-day Celebrity Mercury cruise from San Francisco. What was meant to be a celebration of my mom's birthday turned into a nightmare due to an overblown diagnosis and being dumped off the boat. The first morning the ...

Pros: childrens daycare
Cons: cheap food extra charges dirty mexico

sailing date 13 oct 2004 I sailed with my wife and 3 yr old daughter. stateroom fare 5022.75 plus extras shore trips, alcohol and gratuites. About 800 bucks more. The food on this tired ship was disappointing even in the pretentious MANHATTAN restaurant. ...

Pros: Food, service, atmosphere, space
Cons: rough feeling to pilled bedspreads; overpriced excursions

We've cruised twice on the Mercury in April 1999 and April 2000. My wife and I cruised the first time, and were joined by our daughter and son-in-law the second time. Our second cruise was a two week repositioning cruise via the Panama Canal from Ft....

Pros: Price, activities, experience
Cons: Mid-level cruiseline

My cruise with Mercury was the third cruise line I have been with. Let me just start by saying that it was not quite at the same level as another cruise line I took, but the price was also a lot less expensive, and what I got was definitely worth price....

Pros: Alaska is incredible
Cons: poor navigation skills

Sailed on the Mercury Aug. 26/00 to Alaska - Alaska is all
everyone says it is and more. I have not been a fan of
Celebrity - this is my 4th cruise with them. On the second
last day the ship made a sharpe right turn to avoid a
...

Pros: Great Entertainment, Great Shows, Great Food, Great Disco, Great Staff
Cons: None

all i can say about the mercury is that its simply the best. i've been on 8 cruises and this last one on mercury was by far the best. there were so many types of people on board and so many different age groups and they were all satisfied all the...

Pros: wonderful attention to detail and comfort
Cons: Not enough information about shore excursions

We recently returned from a seven day Caribbean cruise on the Mercury( departure from Ft. Lauderdale on January 9th). It was wonderful, and we enjoyed every minute, but now we are faced with a severe restriction involving Red Cross blood donation. Due to...

Pros: memories for the rest of your life
Cons: the kids are aloud to drink alcohol at the age 15 in mexico when off the boat

This was the trip of a lifetime! It went to Key West, Cayman Islands, mexico (2 different locations), and many others.

In Key West i went walking around and went to the beach; it was the most incredible beech. The water was warm and the...
