Life on Board

Celebrity Lines calls this "Playa Deck." Everyone else refers to it as the Lido. Anyway, here is the swimming pool.

There is also an indoor pool.

Here I am standing in the shade on laya Deck. It was just too darn hot.

Irwin

On another day, it was colder. (This was on the trip home.) Irwin is always cold anyway.

He is getting ready to go to lunch inside.

Topside Lunch

Playa Deck Lunch

The buffet here is not very alluring. The food is adequate. The salads are good. But the hot dishes leave a lot to be desired. Can't compare with Holland America's buffet.

By the way, they call it a buffet. We call it a cafeteria.

Casino

Slot Machines

Mercury's Casino had more action than on any other ship that we have cruised on. This shows only one small section of the casino. There are rows and rows of slot machines and several gaming tables. There is also an ATM in the casino.

I took this photo while in port. That is why it is empty. Casinos cannot operate while the ship is in port.

Library

The library on board the Mercury is not very good. It cannot compare with Holland America's or with Royal Caribbean ships.

Computers

Unlike other cruise lines that we have sailed on, Celebrity does not have an Internet Café. Throughout the ship there are banks of computers for your use.

There is no instructor, and no one in charge. The fee for use of the computers is $.50 a minute.

Hi Joan. Good comments here about comparing Celebrity with Holland. I've been thinking about taking a Mexican Cruise on Holland next March. We cruised on the Celebrity's Summit to Alaska. Regards. Marcia
