In this Celebrity Xcel cruise ship review, I talk about the newest Celebrity Cruises Edge-series cruise ship and break down EVERYTHING about Celebrity Xcel. After four days onboard Celebrity Xcel, Celebrity Cruises’ newest ship, I have LOTS of thoughts on Celebrity Xcel, including why I still personally prefer Celebrity Ascent and Celebrity Beyond, and what I believe Celebrity got right… and what they absolutely missed with Celebrity Xcel. This Celebrity Xcel review tells you all you need to know about this new cruise ship.
This Celebrity Xcel review covers all seven new spaces onboard:
Bora (the reimagined replacement for Rooftop Garden)
The Bazaar (Celebrity’s new marketplace-style venue — and one of the biggest misses on the ship)
Celebrity Pool Club (with the new pool valet & “Poolest Day Ever”)
The Spa (including the new Hydra Room & Vitamin D Deck)
Celebrity Flagship
The Attic at The Club
Plus the hidden IYKYK
In this video, I dive deep into Celebrity Xcel’s dining, including the specialty restaurants, Mosaic and Bora, the new menus, and how the food on Celebrity Xcel compares to other Celebrity Cruises ships. I talk about the upcharges, the service differences, and why some of the changes, especially within The Bazaar, didn’t deliver the premium experience Celebrity Cruises is known for.
You’ll also see the newest entertainment on Celebrity Xcel, including the brand-new productions in The Theatre and The Club, the nightlife vibe around the ship, and what makes this newest Celebrity Cruises cruise ship unique from the rest of the Edge Series fleet.
Whether you’re already booked on Celebrity Xcel, thinking about sailing Celebrity Cruises in 2026, or just love cruise ship reviews, this full Celebrity Xcel review will give you everything you need to know before you board.
