Saz Posted October 11, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Mercury Cruisers have complained about a strong smell of disinfectant permeating the air in and around the cabins and corridors of the ship. Could this be a problem associated with the deterioration of the plumbing system which causes a back up in the toilets? What steps have Celebrity taken to rectify this problem immediately or are they just tinkering around the edges and have conveniently put it off until the refit in October 2011? SAZ.

Hi SAZ, what refit in Oct 2011? Has there been a press release for something? As for odors, I sailed Mercury last month and did not smell any bad odors.

We have sailed on Celebrity many times. I have NEVER smelled an odor on any ship yet, despite people writing on these C.C. boards about them. In fact, we almost cancelled a cruise because somebody complained how bad the Millennium was supposed to smell with sewage smells ect. I am glad we did not cancel...as there was NOTHING to that rumor at all. :( As far as the plumbing systems getting "backed up", I have seen that a few times (not in our cabins) but, usually caused by people putting stuff in the loo that does not belong in there. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raudacruise Posted October 11, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Most of the pungent odors I've smelled have been on the elevators. But lets not go there :D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time we were in a Concierge class cabin on deck 8 and did not experience any smell issues. The second time, we were in a suite on deck 6 and did experience the sewage smell a number of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saz Posted October 12, 2009 Author #7 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Hi Lois R, Apropos the pungent odour and Refit in 2011, it was information gathered from previous threads and posts about the Mercury that prompted me to raise the question. Maybe someone else could enlighten us regarding the refit. Cheers, SAZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STXCruisers Posted October 12, 2009 #8 Share Posted October 12, 2009 We also sailed Mercury recently(Sept. 13 sailing) and experienced no unpleasant odors. We were on Panarama Deck aft. Our toilet would not flush on two occasions, but was fixed very quickly (literally within minutes of our discovering it - someone else must have reported it). Our steward told us that someone put something into the system that they should not have. Mercury was not a stinker during our sailing anywhere we wentonboard. But boy was she a smoker!:eek: The plume from her smoke stack extended for miles behind her the entire cruise. Being in an aft cabin, we were probably more aware of this than some.

Normally the cruiseline does not release information (even if there is any) 2 years away. Since we have not even reached 2010 yet, I would guess if there is any news, it will not come out till sometime next year. Until an "offical press release" comes out it is all just speculation.

I agree with you Lois, there is nothing scheduled at that time and they usually only release the info as the ship is coming out of the drydock. This has been their practice in the past. I would be very surprised if Mercury is even in the fleet in 2011.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
