You're on the sailing immediately prior to mine. I board May 8th for Mercury's repo to Seattle via Alaska. Warren Jean O'Boyle wrote: Yipee!

"number6" wrote in message ups.com... --Jean You'll be near the end of the migration season as the whales head back towards Alaska ... but you should still see some enroute ... We went fishing out of Cabo ... and the whales were prevalent not even 100 yards from shore ... That was a great excursion ... for $240 ... we had a 26 ft boat ... captain and mate for 4 hours ...all to ourselves ... got some fish ... largest was under 50 pounds ... but also saw a lot of whales ... then had some up close and personal encounters with sea lions and pelicans around the arch ... Thank you for sharing your experiences..I just hope that the migration does not begin until after we are there! Sounds as if you went at the best of times! I do hope our safety drill goes smoother than yours did! Also, thanks for part 2..I printed your review out to read at leisure. --Jean |

Warren, My chances of running into you will be pretty slim as the ship docks at 7 am and we probably will be one of the first off with a flight @ 12:45 pm..It would have been nice to meet you! American is having some very good fares for that time span. Have you booked yours yet? I was surprised that there was a repo after our cruise as I had heard that the Mercury was to go into dry-dock...perhaps she has already been? That would be perfect for both our cruises if she had gotten a *spruce up* before we boarded! Have a wonderful cruise! I love those Alaskan cruises. --Jean |

Thanks, Tom, Many years ago, we did a cruise on the Elation leaving FLL and going through the Panama Canal and on to Mazatlan and Acapulco, but it did not include Cabo San Lucas, so I am really looking forward to seeing it.. I see you are checking into cabs in FLL after a cruise..Are you leaving soon? Thanks for the good wishes and the very same back at you! --Jean |

That would be perfect for both our cruises if she had gotten a *spruce up* before we boarded! Don't know about that but just a few things about Mercury. It is an older and different class of ship than the one you were just on. (sort of ironic to say older since the cruise I took on Mercury was when it was six weeks old) The set up and decor are different. There is no Aquaspa cafe or alternative restaurant. Also the Thalassotherapy Pool is in the spa and it is not free like on the Millie class unless you are an elite Captains Club member. But there is a covered pool aft. -- Charles |

Mercury moves to Ensenada as soon as debarkation of your cruise finishes. Embarkation for my cruise is in Mexico thanks to our archaic laws. My cruise ends in Seattle. I won't be meeting up with my bus transfer at the airport until 1pm. You'll probably have a very swift debarkation because of this. Warren |

I realize that, Charles and I prefer the size of the Mercury..didn't you recommend this ship to me, or was it Ben? I think it was when I was disappointed with the Zenith...Anyway I've been reading some very favorable reports about the Mercury lately so I hope that I am not disappointed..But I will go with an *open mind*!!vbg I had to say that, the devil made me do it! ;-) I have been wanting to do this itinerary for a long time and when I saw it priced this well and on another Celebrity ship, I could not resist..10 nights for $97.34 a day..where could you get a get away costing that much? --Jean |
