Bahamas & Mexico Escape – Bimini & Cozumel
About this cruise
6 nights, 3 ports, all from Fort Lauderdale on November 28, 2027. The route visits Bimini, Costa Maya and Cozumel and the whole thing just flows. Port days and sea days take turns, which is about as well-paced as a cruise itinerary gets. Snorkelling, palm trees, rum. Each stop does it a bit differently. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Celebrity Xcel launched in 2025, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Fort Lauderdale has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A November sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 6-night sailing is a strong place to start.
