Creator's Key Takeaways

I wanted to come back and show you a few things that I actually missed on my full tour video is that will be the rooftop garden, the controversial Bora that everybody's talking about.

Bora is the brand new specialty Mediterranean venue uh for brunch and dinner.

Our reservations are required for Bora and it's really hard to get in.

They have a full complement of the best techno gym equipment on board, including the fancy treadmills with all the touchscreen interactions.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Make sure to book Bora in advance as soon as you book your cruise.
βœ“Contact Mike for serious booking inquiries to potentially get a better deal than booking direct.

Is the Bora restaurant on the Celebrity XCEL worth the hype? I am settling the debate with a direct look at the space. After reading endless arguments in the Celebrity XCEL Facebook group, I returned to the ship to examine the areas I skipped during my first walkthrough. This video cuts through the noise surrounding the controversial Bora restaurant and provides a clear perspective on its actual atmosphere. You will see exactly how the venue is set up, helping you decide if it belongs on your dining itinerary or if you should skip it. Beyond the dining drama, I am taking you through the Rooftop Garden. This space is often overlooked in general ship tours, but understanding its layout is essential for planning your onboard relaxation time. By seeing these specific Celebrity XL features up close, you can form your own opinion based on the reality of the design rather than just online chatter.
