We have decided upon our excursions for our upcoming cruise to Alaska on board the Celebrity Mercury – or at least most of them. The cruise is an eight day round trip cruise from Vancouver, so a bit shorter than we normally do, but Alaska is an expensive cruise and we will be cruising with […]
Alaskan Cruise Airfare
February 26, 2007 by 1 Comment
Our cruise to Alaska on board the Celebrity Mercury is approaching fast. The cruise is in mid June of this year. Unfortunately, we still don’t have our air arrangements for the cruise. The cruise is round trip out of Vancouver. Air travel these days is unpleasant at best. I remember the days when air travel […]

I have uploaded a batch of photos from our recent cruise on board the Celebrity Mercury to Mexico. This was our first major event since the purchase of the new camera, so hopefully, they have come out nice and everyone can enjoy them. I think we ended up with something like 500 keeper photos. I […]

Sorry for the lack of activity here at Mr Papa’s World the past few days. After the wonderful Thanksgiving Mexico cruise, I am hard at work trying to get some photos ready for upload. Suzanne is cleaning them up and I am readying them for upload. If all goes well, I should have them uploaded […]
Days 10 and 11 – At Sea
December 1, 2006 by Leave a Comment
The last two days of our wonderful cruise to Mexico have been spent at sea. We absolutely love the sea days on a cruise and always wish for more of them. To our surprise, the kids have recently said the same thing. I think they get a little bit run down going ashore and doing […]
Day 9 – Manzanillo
November 29, 2006 by 3 Comments
Today was our final port of call in Manzanillo, Mexico. The ship docks in a large industrial shipping port and getting off the ship can be a pain in the butt. You get off and get on a bus that transports you to the center of town where you can get on a taxi or […]

Today, our ship, the Celebrity Mercury, docked in Zihuatenejo, Mexico. This town is a small, quaint little fishing town on the coast of Mexico. It looks almost the same as it did 3 years ago when we last visited. Most of the other ports we had visited, had changed somewhat in the past three years. […]

Today our port of call was Acapulco, Mexico on our wonderful cruise to Mexico on board the Celebrity Cruises Mercury. The weather continues to be outstanding though it was overcast this morning. However, the clouds burned off by noon and the sunny weather continued. The humidity has also risen to high numbers, but its bearable. […]
Day 6 – At Sea

And a gloriuos day it was. The weather remains perfect and yesterday was the best day of the cruise for me. I just love days at sea. They are so peaceful and relaxing. One is free to do what they want on the ship. I like to spend time just staring at the ocean of […]
Day 5 – Puerto Vallarta

Today, our port of call is Puerto Vallarta. The weather is fabulous once again. There are very few clouds in the sky and no wind. The weather is comfortable with moderate humidity which I could do without. As it has been the entire cruise, the water remains unbelievably calm meaning very smooth sailing. Suzanne frequents […]
