Eye on Travel — Celebrity Xcel — December 6, 2025
This week’s broadcast of Eye on Travel is from onboard the brand new Celebrity Xcel as it sails its inaugural cruise from Fort Lauderdale. I have all the travel updates, including my reaction to Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy’s recent public service announcement video asking travelers to dress better, be more polite and return to the golden age of aviation (I have just a few things to say about that…..). Former lead NTSB investigator Greg Feith joins me to discuss the latest findings in the crash of the UPS MD-11 cargo plane in Louisville — and the lessons learned — but will they be applied? Then, Arnie Weissmann, Editor-in-Chief of Travel Weekly, on the latest Celebrity ship. Lisa Lehr, Celebrity’s Vice President of Entertainment, on how the Celebrity Xcel is innovating with cutting edge onboard entertainment and productions, and Celebrity’s President Laura Hodges Bethge on how some of the ship got designed — with direct input from their passengers in their Dream Makers community. And of course, I answer your travel questions. There’s all this and more on this week’s Eye on Travel.
