Creator's Key Takeaways

We've been on every single Celebrity cruise ship till now, so we know the hidden spots and the secret places to be.

This is brand new to Excel, something exclusive to Excel. You won't get that anywhere else.

We highly recommend it. Jordan and I love our aqua class experiences mostly because of this blue restaurant is such higher-end dining.

This is a really cool tunnel. Definitely one we have yet to see.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a day at sea or a night when sailing away for Mosaic restaurant to catch sunset.
Come to the Ocean View bar in the back of the buffet for a less busy experience.
Try all four complimentary main dining rooms on a longer sailing.
