Celebrity Xcel Cruise Day 2: Formal Night Dinner, Bimini Bahamas, Complete Food Reviews & More

Join Matt and Staci from Rays on the Road as we dive into Day 2 aboard the stunning Celebrity Xcel cruise ship! From a delicious room service breakfast with fresh fruits, flaky croissants, and custom omelets (plus tips on that $9.95 hot item fee), to exploring the turquoise waters and Fisherman’s Wharf in Bimini, Bahamas – this vlog has it all. We tackle rough seas, hit up the Ocean View Cafe for lunch favorites like spicy Indian curry, steak fajitas, and tea time scones, then glam up for formal night at the Tuscan restaurant with mouthwatering appetizers (shrimp cocktail, roasted pumpkin salad), mains like carbonara pasta and steak Diane with lobster tail, and decadent desserts including warm apple crumble and cannoli.
Along the way, we check out ship highlights: a live piano performance, the interactive Flagship store museum with Celebrity ship models, the bazaar for Caribbean souvenirs, and eco-friendly features like compressed natural gas propulsion. Hear our honest reviews comparing Celebrity Cruises dining to Virgin, Holland America, and Princess – including why we love the split dining rooms for variety and ambiance.

Whether you’re planning your next Celebrity Xcel cruise, curious about Bimini excursions, or just love cruise ship food reviews, this video is packed with tips and insights!

    Loved watching your videos. I enjoy watching y’all’s and will and dawn , yankee in the south. Two of my favorite vloggers. You and Matt make the audience feel like they are part of it. I buy bananas and either they are eaten in 2 days or they turn into banana bread. 😂

    Ooooo, the formal night dinner looked wonderful! The 2 pastas are making me so hungry! Fresh made pasta! Yum!
    Thank you for bringing us along! 💜

    I know you have already sailed but I hope you made it for the seafood extravaganza on the last day. It is my favorite part of sailing on Celebrity Edge class ships! Will be on the Xcel soon and I’m enjoying your videos. ❤

    That little marmalade jar would mysteriously make its way into my luggage. 😂

    Our cruise to Alaska is on the Queen Elizabeth. I booked it solely for the purpose of proper afternoon tea…and to see Alaska, of course. 😂

    So sorry for being slow, however I am unable to locate the "Full Bimini Video" linked below. Can you guide me some direction? Thank you in advance!
