Join us for two very different days aboard **Celebrity Xcel**—a fun-filled sea day followed by our arrival in **George Town, Grand Cayman**! 🌊🚢 From a new Mediterranean-inspired brunch experience to a port-day split that proves there is no single “right” way to enjoy Grand Cayman, this episode is packed with food, fun, entertainment, and a few surprises. We begin our sea day at **Bora**, Celebrity Xcel’s rooftop Mediterranean specialty restaurant, for brunch. 🍳🍹 With custom cocktails, plenty of tempting dishes, and a small mishap along the way, this may be a dining experience you’ll want to add to your Celebrity Cruises wish list. Bora is designed as a Mediterranean-style venue serving brunch by day and dinner at night—so come hungry, because we certainly did! Over both days, we continue exploring **The Bazaar**, Celebrity Xcel’s evolving aft venue inspired by the destinations on each itinerary. ✨ We also take in more onboard entertainment, spend time in the Grand Plaza, catch a game show in the main theatre, and finally make our way into the ship’s much-sought-after speakeasy. The Bazaar replaces Eden on Celebrity Xcel and combines food, shopping, destination-inspired programming, and live entertainment across multiple decks. Of course, there is more food! 🍽️ We dine in the **Cyprus Restaurant** on both evenings, one of Celebrity Xcel’s complimentary main dining rooms, featuring Mediterranean-inspired flavours and Greek specialties. Then, we do something we do not usually do: join a themed deck party! 🎉 We did it in our own style! The next morning, we arrive in **George Town, Grand Cayman**. 🏝️ We divide and conquer, joining Mike and Charity—who are still enjoying their first-ever cruise—for two very different shore excursions. One option is all about a relaxing beach day; the other brings more activity and adventure. Which one would you choose? Grand Cayman is known for its crystal-clear waters, beach escapes, and active shore experiences, making it a great port for cruisers with very different vacation styles. Come along as we discover more of what makes Celebrity Xcel different, share our honest impressions, and see whether these onboard experiences and Grand Cayman excursions are worth your time on a Caribbean cruise. 🚢☀️ We have more coming from this cruise adventure before we are onto the next, so be sure to subscribe and hit the bell notifications so you don't miss her upcoming episodes.
