Ship was all up to date and well laid out

Plaza Bar

I am not sure if this is the R Bar, but if it is it was the best bar on the ship. The four bartenders that worked there were all amazing and great at making drinks. They were happy and entertaining.

martini clinics were great, and art auctions were fun

Nhiggins: Thanks for the note on the Martini Clinic. We've walked by it a few times on different ships with interest, but it is now it is on our definite list of activities for our Freedom cruise later this year.
