Alaska, August 2005 - What ship was I on??

[escapefromny]

This is a long shot, but I'm wondering if anyone can help me figure out which ship I would've been on when I took my first =X= cruise. It was late August 2005, and the itinerary began in Seattle, WA and from there went up to Alaska.

 

For the life of me I can't remember the name of the ship! And I'm curious, because I'm wondering if it's the same class (M), or even the same ship, that I'll be on later this year when I finally set sail with Celebrity again. Any ideas???

Chances are it was Infinity.

I think that Mercury did Alaskan cruises, but I'm not 100% sure. Anyone with a better memory about some of the Mercury itineraries?

[escapefromny]

Haha, I see guesses are all over the map so far! I don't remember the entire itinerary (I think) but I do recall that the ship stopped in Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan, if that helps narrow it down a bit.

If you joined the Captains Club with Celebrity, log into you account and your sailing history, including ships, should be there.

It looks like it was the Mercury. http://www.cruising.org/vacation/news/press_releases/2005/02/alaskas-awesome-scenery-and-wildlife-are-best-showcased-ship-2005

Not the summit. Summit was in Alaska August 2005 but cruised between Seward and Vancouver.

So it does! Thanks, snowmaiden! That's great, so this means the Summit will be a new class of ship for me. I remember loving the look of the Mercury, very elegant. I'm sure I'll enjoy the Summit just as much, if not more.

It was the Mercury, I did a search and went to the last page of cruise critic on this forum which was in 2004. Went ahead a couple of pages and found several threads about Alaska cruises and Mercury was doing Seattle in 2005.

It was the Mercury.....

 

 

Ahhh -- the Mercury. We only did three cruises on the Mercury, but it still was my favorite Celebrity ship. I still miss her.

Since we now have guessed every ship in the fleet and know that it was the Celebrity Mercury, I just wanted to remind you that you were sick that week and missed the cruise.

[TeaBag]

Yes, Mercury definitely sailed out of Seattle to Alaska. We loved her too. Enjoy the summit. Then you will have to try the S class.

We did Alaska, on the Mercury in 2004 and 2006 and these were the ports we stopped at. I don't know what the itinerary of the other ships mentioned were.

Me too....I loved that ship.

Me too....I loved that ship.

 

 

Mercury was my favorite as well. We cruised 8 times this ship.
