I'm writing some of this on, and some after, a three day trip on the
Celebrity Mercury out of Seattle, visiting Victoria and Nanaimo, BC.
There are many things to like about the Mercury.  The crew was
friendly, the captain was affable (those things are related), the food

To Whom It May Concern:
We received this information from the trades and thought it would be of
interest to this newsgroup as well.
Happy sailing,

recent experience?
Thanks,

  Our Mediterranean cruise is on Sept 10 and one of the ports is Barcelona.

I have booked a Baltic Cruise on the Crown Princess for May 2008. Has

Possibly someone with experience on board Viking River Cruise can tell me if
there is a location where clothes can be ironed.  I see mention of laundry

What is the best web site for getting cruise ship reviews?
We are going sailing next year in the Med on either Royal Clipper or one of
the Windstar's and can't make up our mind.  Thanks.

We'll be there for the first time next March on the ROS for an 8 day
