Celebrity Xcel embarkation day 🚢 Day 1 with food, drinks, and relaxed first-night cruise vibes 🍸🍔 We’re kicking off our cruise with a relaxed Day 1 embarkation on Celebrity Xcel, bringing you along from the hotel through boarding and settling in onboard. After dropping our luggage at the room, we stop by the theater for a quick look at our muster station before starting to explore the ship. Lunch at the Oceanview Café buffet is our first stop, followed by time on the pool deck as we take in the atmosphere. Sail away is calm and low-key — just sitting, talking, and enjoying a drink while JB grabs a spontaneous burger and fries from Mast Grill 🍔. A s the evening continues, we unwind in the Solarium, then stop by the Martini Bar where Sheri enjoys a pre-dinner cocktail 🍸. We wrap up the night with dinner and reflections on what a realistic embarkation day on Celebrity Cruises really feels like. This video is perfect if you enjoy cruise vlogs, Celebrity Cruises, cruise food, and first-night ship experiences.Thanks for sailing along with us! 0:00 Embarkation Day Begins 🚢 0:15 Hotel Morning & Heading to the Port 2:58 Boarding Celebrity Xcel 4:32 First Look Around the Ship 5:00 Dropping Luggage in the Room 5:51 Theater Sneak Peek (Muster Station) 6:40 Oceanview Café Buffet Lunch 🍽️ 11:37 Pool Deck & Exploring Outside 13:03 Relaxed Sail Away & Drinks 🍹 14:37 Mast Grill Burger & Fries 🍔 16:07 Unwinding in the Solarium 16:30 Martini Bar Pre-Dinner Cocktail 🍸 17:28 Dinner on Night One 27:59 First Night Thoughts & Outro #CelebrityXcel #CelebrityCruises #CruiseVlog #EmbarkationDay #CruiseFood #FirstNightOnboard #CruiseLife
