We were suprised that it was still there but we tried to put it in a place where no one would ever look by accident. There were so many wonderful folks working on the Mercury when we took both cruises. But we were quite surprised that so many of the faces had actually changed from November to June. A few stand outs were: Shiva the sommelier from India Francisco our waiter from Goa, India Raissa from the Philippines as a bar waiter and Cova Cafe waiter. Andrew from Poland our Assistant Mairtre'de The band Headliners from Philippines. (They were great!!!) We just watched the unedited video from the Alaska cruise today. It brought back so many memories. Now I have to tackle the project of cutting down the 4 1/2 hours of video to about 1 or 1 1/2 hours and put it on DVD. It will be easy once I eliminate all the video that the kids took and the times we left the camera on unattended. We loved the Mercury and I know you will have a great cruise.

If so, I know it will be a fantastic voyage. As far as waking you up... well, it might wake you up, but it won't knock you out of bed. As a matter of fact, the vibration never woke our kids, just us... but you know how heavy kids can sleep some times. We personally feel that for the extra size of the room and the great balcony, it is a good trade off, but you really will have to determine that for yourself. You do feel the vibrations of the thrusters to some extent on all rooms of the ship. We were in a Ocean Veiw towards midship on the Mercury 4 years ago, and I was awoken by the movement even in that location. Our Alaska trip was fantastic, but we felt 7 days was just too short. I have reviews and pictures posted here on Cruise Talk. So take a look and let me know if you have any questions. http://cruisetalk.org/2007/06/celebrity-mercury-alaska-cruise-june-15th-2007.html http://cruisetalk.org/gallery/celebrity-mercury-alaska-2007 Greetings and Bon Voyage,
