This is going to be a big journey. My tentative plans are to take a Transatlantic cruise from Florida to Barcelona April 2017.
Then, I do not know where I am going from Barcelona but eventually I will be flying back to the USA. I hope to travel a bit around Europe.
Which airport would be the least expensive to fly out of and any recommendations on budget or cheap airlines?
I have already been doing my own research and found a site called something like Skyliner that looks pretty good.
All suggestions and tips would be greatly appreciated.

Where will you be sailing out of Florida from? I never knew there were cruise ships here in Florida that went anywhere else except the Caribbean!

@moffittjc There are what are called 're-positioning cruises', whereby ships that have spent the winter in the Caribbean re-locate to the Med for the summer. They are often cheaper than ordinary cruises because they don't usually make any ports of call, except maybe the Azores or Madeira.

@jaboUK Wow, I've lived here in Florida all my life, been on dozens of cruises, and yet never knew about this! Guess I learn something new everyday!

There are many cruises from Florida to places other than the Caribbean. I will be sailing from Port Canaveral on the Norwegian Epic.
