Boarding the Celebrity Xcel - An Incredible New Ship

Editorial Summary

The creators provide a first impressions tour of the Celebrity Xcel, a new billion dollar cruise ship. They begin by detailing the boarding process in Fort Lauderdale, noting the convenience of using digital boarding passes and the efficiency of the terminal. The tour covers various high end venues, including the Grand Plaza atrium, a large circular theater with impressive LED screens, and the multi purpose Club venue which features interactive games and a new upstairs area called the Attic. The creators also explore the Bazaar, a colorful Mediterranean themed space that replaces the former Eden venue, and the Mosaic restaurant. While they praise the ship's luxurious design, artwork, and unique museum dedicated to Celebrity history, they also share honest critiques. These include a disappointing dining experience at a specialty suite restaurant where service was slow and inconsistent, as well as high beverage prices on board. They conclude that despite some service hiccups and expensive costs, the ship offers a beautiful and modern atmosphere that feels premium and lively.
