The Celebrity Mercury Cruise Ship in the Panama Canal	For those who may wonder if there's life on Celebrity Mercury, we're here to tell you that there most definitely is. The newest of the Century-class of ships, Celebrity Mercury is equally as impressive, and not just in terms of visual appeal, but also in the vast array of world-class amenities and services that she offers.   In the summer of 2006, just prior to the Mercury's planned departure for an Alaska cruise, Seattle-based inspectors from the U.S. Coast Guard arrested the captain of the Mercury for intoxication. Celebrity Cruises arranged for a replacement, and fired the original captain.
