I have never taken a cruise. I know it sounds crazy but I have never paid for a cruise and boarded as a passenger. However I am seriously thinking about changing that now that I found out Celebrity Cruises is offering a 4-day cruise from Seattle to Victoria, Nanaimo and Vancouver departing every Friday and Monday on the Mercury. The other day I saw a ship sail into Elliott Bay at about 6:00 am; I thought, “It’s too late in the season for there to be ships to Alaska – who is that?” I contacted the Port of Seattle and saw that it was the Mercury. I was so intrigued by not only the itinerary but the price (around $350 average for four days!) I am considering it myself! The ship sails through November; if you want a quick getaway this is perfect – the charm of Victoria, fall foliage in Nanaimo, and great museums, shopping and dining in Vancouver and Seattle. Why not?
