    Captain's Tip

    Your cruise departs from Barcelona, Spain on the Celebrity Xcel, carrying thousands of passengers. Fly in the day before to protect against flight disruptions - the ship won't wait. If you're given an assigned boarding time, showing up earlier sometimes works but isn't guaranteed. Complete your online check-in before arrival. Fresh produce, seafood, and friendly exchanges reflect how food anchors social life here.
