I Tried EVERY Buffet On The World’s Newest Cruise (Breakfast)
This video is a comprehensive guide and review of the breakfast buffet experience aboard Celebrity Cruises’ newest luxury ship, the Celebrity Xcel. This is Part 1 of a series where I spend an entire day eating every meal at the ship's main buffet to determine if it's worth it over specialty dining. We take you inside the Oceanview Café, located on one of the ship's 15+ decks, to explore the full morning rollout. From the initial "Early Riser" options to the complete 7:00 AM breakfast spread, this tour covers every station to help you plan your dining strategy for your next cruise. Inside the Celebrity Xcel Breakfast Buffet: We examine the variety, freshness, and quality of the morning food offerings, providing honest 1–5 ratings for specific dishes and compiling a "Greatest Hits" plate of the best items. Key Buffet Stations & Food Highlights: Live Cooking Stations: A walkthrough of the fresh, made-to-order omelette station. Bakery & Pastries: Fresh breads, croissants, danishes, and cinnamon rolls baked directly onboard. The Waffle Bar: Featuring pancakes, waffles, toppings, and the notable orange butter (tastes like a dreamsicle). International Breakfast: A dedicated Mexican breakfast station and a customizable Asian congee bar with various toppings. English Breakfast Classics: Bacon, bangers (sausages), grilled tomatoes, and black pudding. Cold Bar: Smoked mackerel, smoked salmon, and an assortment of cold cuts and cheeses. Lighter Options: Extensive fresh fruit bars, yogurts, assorted cereals, and a selection of plant-based milks.

The ship features over 14 dining venues, and this series puts the included Oceanview Café to the ultimate test.
