Creator's Key Takeaways
The Celebrity Beyond is probably my favorite ship, so I'm excited to see this one.
I fully appreciate the fact that I don't have to go outside my door to go look outside. This just extends the room, so it feels bigger.
Bora was hands down the favorite. Dinner on the Edge was I'm sorry, but not worth it, which is part of our tips and tricks, too.

#lisaandpaul #celebrityxcel2025 #cruisereview Welcome to the ultimate 365Sol travel guide for the brand new Celebrity Xcel! If you are planning a trip or just dreaming of your next luxury cruise, we are taking you along for a complete Celebrity Xcel ship tour and an honest review of our 5-day sailing. In this comprehensive cruise vlog, we show you exactly what it is like to sail on Celebrity Cruises' most advanced ship. We start with a full infinity balcony stateroom tour before diving into our daily itinerary. Watch as we go swimming with wild sharks in Bimini, take an off-roading cenote excursion in Cozumel, and explore the incredible onboard entertainment, including Captain Kirk's Rock Show, a secret Speakeasy, and the high-energy Shine the Night party! Of course, we review all the amazing Celebrity Xcel food. We test out the Cyprus Restaurant, Le Bistro, Mosaic, and even grab drinks on the Magic Carpet—where Lisa bravely tackled her discomfort with heights to check out Dinner on the Edge! Make sure to watch until the very end for our final dining verdict and why the brand new Bora restaurant was hands-down our favorite meal of the trip.
