CRUZBUDS Posted September 18, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 18, 2013 It makes me sad to see what they did the our favorite ship -- I hate the script scrawled all over her hull --- it looks like graffiti :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must be competing with NCL for the ugliest paint job award. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwr235 Posted September 18, 2013 #10 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Funny, I actually like the way it looks:) Looks OK to me too...perhaps you'd be so kind to translate the words ?!:D And I find some "graffiti art" pretty cool too !

boscobeans Posted September 18, 2013 #11 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Wife and I were on her (Mercury) last Celebrity cruise and by the time we docked back in Baltimore the entire pool deck was stripped and there were German workers and engineers working all over the ship. Looks like they made some very nice improvements to what was one of our favorite Celebrity ships. http://tuicruises.com/mein-schiff-2/ bosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedofharpenden Posted September 18, 2013 #12 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Sad to hear she's had a prang, but glad nobody injured. Celebrity Mercury was my first ship. Fond memories. Personally I think she looks pretty funky now. They needed to update her inside and they've done a good job. Now the big question. If they can put a ship locator and bridgecam with playback facility on Mein Schiff II, ex-Mercury why can't they do that with the ships in the Celebrity fleet?

cruzeluver Posted September 18, 2013 #14 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Loved, Loved her as Mercury! We went into that cruise with low expectations as it was clear she was nearing the end of her service with X and she had just gone through multiple sailings highly plagued by noro (made our local news here in Charleston every day for weeks!). But despite all that we found her to be a really lovely ship with a warm, intimate feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymousegirl Posted September 18, 2013 #15 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Celebrity Galaxy was our first ship and two years ago in St Tropez, we were anchored right next to Mein Schiff and I didn't even recognize her as the Galaxy! That paint job is something else, and a very dramatic change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRUZBUDS Posted September 19, 2013 #18 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Some people liked the original color scheme of the M Class ships, it's what makes the world interesting, we all see things a little differently :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they made some very nice improvements to what was one of our favorite Celebrity ships. http://tuicruises.com/mein-schiff-2/ bosco So true. The refurb guys were swarming like ants. Wonderful, fond memories of that last cruise, i.e. Fellow passengers were sooooo nice! Crew was TOP-NOTCH as always. We met new Captain at Captain's table. Very personable w/lovely wife. We knew Chief Engineer from previous cruises. Asked for a "memento". At cocktail party in Captain's office he asked Captain and I wound up with a plaque from the wall. Delivered on last day. It stands on the mantle as I type. This cruise and the final one on Zenith are my very favorites. Most others come very close. In a picture of the handover there is a picture of flowers in its place (:)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an experience that I just don't think can ever be duplicated. Did we meet? I was also at dinner at the Cpt. table but did not realize he had a wife. Also had dinner with Ugo the last formal night. One of the nicest things regarding crew was that my waiter gave me his "Mercury closing team" shirt. How often does something like that happen? The crew on this final cruise were the best ever. And I would love to see what Tui has done to the interior. Maybe someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingTheWaves Posted September 21, 2013 #21 Share Posted September 21, 2013 the only ship from this class that i have sailed is the century, but from the spaces i can still very much tell she was originally a celebrity ship. however i think the neon crap they added is pretty tacky looking. the designs and spaces are nice but those colors...ugh.

Nanatravel Posted September 21, 2013 #23 Share Posted September 21, 2013 saw one of the Mein Schef ships last March and "guessed" it was the Galaxy. One outside addition was on the balcony; Hammocks. Plus lots of guests hung out their laundry; now on a beautiful ship, that is tacky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
