Creator's Key Takeaways

Up with a Twist is my absolute favorite show on board and that's up with some really tough competition from the rest of the fleet.

We really think that $50 charge for the ticket is very reasonable indeed, but it really depends on your personal preference.

The food was really, really good, and it is French inspired, and that's to go along with the theming of the show.

The guest participation level on this show is fairly minimal.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive to the Mana with enough time to spare to get a good seat.
Keep one eye out for your server to pass plates efficiently.
