I am not sure about your itinerary, but that anyone could say the Mercury is shabby is beyond me. We sailed her in February, our first time on Celebrity, but our 13th cruise. The only wear or staining I saw was on the chairs in the disco and a few of the chairs in the buffet area. She is very clean and shiny, a beautiful ship. I had forewarned DH that she was the oldest ship we had sailed on, but he told me he would have never know it had I not told him.
