I have not heard anything on a date. I sailed her March 2005 and found myself apologizing to friends for her need of a face-lift. The worst was the windows in the lounge, so many of the seals had broken and you couldn't see through them. Many of the chairs had stains on them and the pool area had many tiles missing and the carpet around it very worn. Our cabin had permanent stains on the sink, very, very faded bedlinens. The sofa had some large stains too. I did like the ship, crew and food very much, but appearance does affect a cruise too, especially when you are paying more to sail on Celebrity. Having said all this, I am sailing on Mercury 4/28/06 and I would think she will be needing some face-lifting in the future as well.
