Creator's Key Takeaways

Biminy has the most vibrant color of anywhere we've been.

That gelato was good, but that area is in disrepair and there are a lot of empty shops.

It was sad to see it not was was not busier. I don't know what they need to do.

I think it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Biminy.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use a VPN on public Wi-Fi for security.
Consider visiting Fisherman's Village after the beach for ice cream or a drink.
Try the gelato at Amichi's, especially the rum raisin flavor.

YouTube Video Description

Join Matt and Staci from Rays on the Road as we explore Fisherman's Village in Bimini during our Celebrity Xcel cruise adventure! We hop off the brand-new Celebrity Xcel ship (with its stunning magic carpet and vibrant artwork) and take the free tram to this charming island spot. We wander through the marketplace, check out souvenirs like rum cake and t-shirts, and indulge in delicious gelato at Amichi's – tropical guava and rum raisin were hits! In this vlog, we share our honest thoughts on Bimini's beauty, from the marina views and Healing Hole Rumbar to the lively music and local vibes. But we also note the rough seas, empty shops, and areas needing TLC. Compared to our past Bimini trips (golf cart explorations and Resorts World Beach Club), this ranks as a relaxed third-favorite. Perfect for first-time cruisers or anyone planning a Celebrity Xcel itinerary! If you're searching for things to do in Bimini, Celebrity Xcel reviews, or Bahamas cruise tips, this video has you covered. Don't miss our tips on navigating the island safely and making the most of your stop.
