Kibou2008 Posted June 27, 2008 #1 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hi, does anyone know the hours that the fitness center on Mercury is open? Is it open 24 hours? How about on Formal Nights? I'm a bit confused about the rule re: being in casual clothes in public areas after 6 PM on Formal Nights. Is it OK to use the jogging track after hours? Oh, and speaking of hours, are the buffets open all day long, until they close for the casual dining evening meal, or are they more mealtime specific, ie. 7-10 AM for breakfast, 11-2 PM for lunch? Any information would be welcomed. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy Your response to my questions was just so very, very helpful...I don't want to gush, but really, thank you so much :-) Regrettably, we will be on different cruises; mine is on the Sept 29 Pacific Northwest 4 day cruise. I would have loved to thank you in person! I went to Alaska on HAL's Statendam last September, and had one of the best experiences of my life. I haven't sailed with Celebrity yet, but from what I can gather, Mercury is also a wonderful ship. I wish you a joyous cruise. Now I'm off to do some happy planning!!!

I would have loved to thank you in person! No problem..............that's what Cruise Critic membership is all about.......helping each other out if we know/have the information to share. A 4 day cruise is like a weekend getaway! Enjoy yourself and do save some time to relax. Hopefully it is long enough to meet some interesting and fascinating people and nature's beauty takes your breath away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
