YouTube Video Description

Join us as we explore Grand Cayman from Celebrity Cruises' newest ship, Celebrity Xcel. Is this island really paradise? Is it worth the visit? ​Grand Cayman is the largest of the Cayman Islands and a stunning British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean. In this video, we show you how to navigate the island like a pro: we took a shared shuttle for $16, enjoyed some incredible food at Peppers Bar & Grill, and relaxed on the beautiful beach behind the Marriott Grand Cayman Resort. ​Later, we hopped on public transportation to explore the world-famous Seven Mile Beach before taking the tender back to the ship. We also included highlights from the Shine The Night entertainment! ​#GrandCayman #CelebrityXcel #CelebrityCruises #SevenMileBeach #cruisevlog
