We'll take the Mercury from Vancouver to Seward in May 11 (a friend and I) and we will like to hear your suggestions about the best tours that offers this ship.<BR>Thank you.

We are cruising on the Mercury 6/29/01 and have just found on the celebrity site the shore excursions they offer along with the prices and times of departures. Hope this helps.

Thank you, but I already know about the site and the tours. I will like to hear any comments and suggestions from persons who took any of this tours before.

Why would anyone care to listen to the critique of others?<BR><BR>Everyone has their own lifestyle. One should study the tour brochures. Visit the library. Since you have access to the net search there also.<BR><BR>Some people just love Dunn's River Falls but others just hate it. <BR><BR>Some people just loved the Hermitage in St. Petersburg but it does take three days to see it all. Do you like museums? I would rather see all the beautiful sights in St. Petersburg and spend the extra time. Some people think St. Petersburg is a dump.<BR><BR>Some people say they had an excellent lunch on this specific tour. I took the tour and was treated to one entree and a cookie for dessert.<BR><BR>One person said "don't take such and such horseback riding tour since the horses are all tired and old." I took the tour and couldn't control the darn horses. Possibly they had two sets.<BR><BR>Some people say to swim with the stringrays but do they tell you the water may be over your head. Some tours visit deep water and others not.<BR><BR>See what I mean. A vacation is an adventure and it is your adventure to love or hate. Just study.<BR><BR>Do things to fit your lifestyle and enjoy "your" vacation.<BR><BR>Paul

A response to Paul's comments: "Why would anyone listen to the critique of others"? Isn't that what this forum is about? I know that I love hearing what fodorites have to say, then I make my own choices. <BR> <BR>This forum is a great source for information. Please don't stop others from asking questions.
