No worries-- all our chicks were very safely tucked in their cabins! We did have one worry, though, one of our students luggage was filched off the baggage truck.

Cruise Phase 1
Our cruise started in Venice on 4 October. The Oceania Rivera was all that we thought it would be. Our stateroom is spacious and very well fitted out. As with all rooms on this particular ship, we have our own balcony where we can sit and enjoy the passing scenery. There are numerous restaurants at which to eat.

We finally found a taverna open and saganaki, calamari, greek salad for lunch, Yum! Back to our resort for a nice swim in the pool which was fabulous and so refreshing.
