Across the Pond on Oceania's Riviera

Today's the day.

We're getting a surprisingly economical transfer from our hotel to the Port of Miami, where we board the beautiful Oceania Riviera, sailing at 6:00 p.m. for Barcelona. Our sailing itinerary looks like this:

• Wed, Apr 1    Embark
• Sat, Apr 4      Port of Call - King'sWharf, Bermuda
• Sat, Apr 11    Port of Call - Funchal (Madeira), Portugal
• Mon, Apr 13 Port of Call - Gibraltar, UK
• Wed, Apr 15 Disembark - Barcelona, Spain

Yes, we're looking forward to it. Our big concern is to take advantage of the free Internet that was included in our cruise while making sure we have all of the data turned off on our iPhone and iPad Mini so as to avoid the ruinous charges
