Mercury - side cabin

Sunbeam · February 13, 2009

We are booked on the Mercury for the Wine Cruise sailing on October 12th. We booked cabin 8096; it is a side cabin.

As anyone ever cruised in that cabin? We were a bit curious on the set-up.

Hi again although we have not sailed in 8096 we did opt for an inside cabin on our Alaska Cruise.. an inside cabin on the Mercury tends to be approximately 171 sq ft

we had the beds placed together and had access from both sides of the bed... the stateroom it self is adequate in size although the bathroom can become a tad closed in on you..

if you can i would store one or two pieces of luggage underneath the bed if possible... the closet space was excellent i thought....the stateroom safe is located behind the mirror...lets see i think that about covers what i can remember.. any specific questions??

Thanks Joey. It will be our second time on the Mercury. The first time we were in cabin 1201. This will be quite a change. We thought that we did not really need a balcony because the weather might be a bit on the coolish side.

I was asking about a side cabin, because if you look on the deck plan, the cabin is not the same as other inside cabins. I think when you walk in, we will looking at a wall instead of looking towards the bed.

I know. I never saw one either.

Somebody must have seen it. Hopefully, they will let me know. If not, when I come back, I will post a picture.

If you go to the Celebrity website and do a "Virtual Tour" of the Continental deck, there is a 365 degree picture of one of those cabins. Here's the address:

We had a similar inside cabin on the Emerald Princess that ran fwd to aft instead of starboard to port. It was the roomiest inside cabin we've ever had.

That is really fun. On Continental Deck, I think they are showing Cabin 4065 and I would love to see 4057 or 4073.

We will be on Panorama Deck and the site shows 8061 and we will be in 8096.

I guess we will have to wait until October.

Quite interesting. I hope this will be the case with this one.
