Our last day on the Xcel began with more spa time for Janie while J. R. worked on packing and had coffee in Cafe Al Bacio.
We met up before lunch at the Sunset Bar after walking through the Rooftop Garden area, which was set up for pickleball.
We were in the mood for a light snack so we headed down to the Bazaar and Spice. This area was a nice addition to the Edge Class ships. The same area exists on the other ships but was rarely open so hopefully Celebrity sees how successful this dining spot is and opens it up on the other ships.
Ari led the Martini Masterclass in World Class Bar but it was the same cocktails we had made before and they went back to having the bartender make the drinks and serve them so we probably will not do this experience again.
After going to the room to finish up packing and change, we went back to IYKYK when it opened at 5 for more drinks.
The theater was packed early for the production show, Between Takes. J. R. saw the line forming at 6:30 and got in it while Janie finished her drink in the Club. Between Takes is advertised as "Welcome to the backlot of this 1920s Hollywood film set where you will get a sneak peek into what goes on 'Between Takes'. Behind the scenes, our cast and crew endeavor to create the next blockbuster Silent Movie! Witness jaw-dropping Hollywood sets, incredible vocals, high-flying stunts, and mind-blowing dance routines. Hold onto your seats as you are transported into the mayhem that ensues between cut and action." The cast did some funny bits before the show started on stage but we were let down by the show itself. Again they let the technology take center stage, pushing the dancers and acrobats to the background.
We booked Mosaic again at the last minute and once again had Yuliana serving us. We were a little disappointed they didn't have any specials on the menu that reflected the changing theme but the food was once again very good and we had a chance to try some different items from the menu. We stayed after for the Spanish-language show which was fun, but didn't feature any storyline or acrobatics the way the shows in Eden used to.
