Creator's Key Takeaways

I did find out there are three dishes on the Mosaic menu, which were carryovers from Eden Restaurant.

I don't think it was worth $110. And I would not go back to be quite honest with you at that price.

It was the best piece of French toast I've ever had in my entire life.

I'm definitely missing Eden. And I find myself not going back to that area of the ship as much as I did on the other ships.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book dining reservations as soon as possible, especially for Bora.
βœ“Try the French toast at Bora brunch, but avoid the chicken and waffles.
βœ“Visit the photo booth in the club after 5 p.m. to access the secret speakeasy.
