Yesterday was day 3 of our Alaskan cruise onboard the Celebrity Mercury. The cruise continues to be an excellent time. The Celebrity Mercury and crew continue to provide us with exemplary service and a good time. We are constantly reminded of why we choose Celebrity when we can. One thing that has been odd for […]

You probably remember my recent posts about the recent Celebrity Mercury refurbishment and how our cabin we had booked for the Alaskan cruise this summer was being upgraded.

Celebrity Mercury in Dry Dock

As mentioned before, our cruise to Alaska onboard the Celebrity Mercury is approaching. I also mentioned, quite gleefully I am sure, that Mercury would be undergoing a refurbishment prior to our cruise in which our cabin would get a balcony added to it.

The Past Weekend

Whew, what a busy weekend – or at least it seemed like it. I thought I had finally put all of Suzanne’s vacation questions/issues to bed for the upcoming Alaskan cruise on the Celebrity Mercury.

Our wonderful Mexico cruise on board the Celebrity Mercury has come to a conclusion. On Friday morning, at about 7:00 am, we docked back in San Diego. Being that we were driving home and didnt have a flight to catch, we had a late disembarkation time. We were able to enjoy a bit of breakfast […]

After some research and trading off features versus cost, I decide on the Canon Powershot A630. Its an 8 mexapixel camera with decent ISO and […]
