Yes the sales on Oceania can be confusing
But in the fine print it does say your cabin category must have availability to get the deal
Yes paying big $$$ for a suite & not get any compensation on a sale like this is most annoying I am sure
The top suites & insides are usually the first to go
All you can do is keep asking your rep to get something off or FCC for you
Unfortunately your cruises is in the middle of 2 Grand voyages so cabins will be held to see if others book the GV & not the single segment
The Hotel was probably removed as they are no longer docking in Venice
They do have a pre cruise hotel in Trieste listed
They probably will have transfers from VCE to Trieste
do get your rep to check as many will be flying into VCE
They did have transfer last year & maybe are still doing them for cruises out of Trieste
JMO
I usually just round up for the taxi
last time 2019 from hotel to port if was $11 so gave him $15
porters a $1 or 2 per bag
Cannot remember from port to FLL I think it was $15 so gave them a 20
If you use UBER you could do that then you know the cost upfront
Personal choice
AFAIK you just tell the wine server you have a bottle of XXX & give them your cabin number
They will fetch it
Never tried in the Terrace or Waves Just the GDR & Specialties
You are allowed to pre book 1 or 2 per restaurant per cabin depending on Cabin category & length of sailing
Once onboard you can go to the reservations desk on deck 5 & ask for other seating based of availability
Nothing like Crystal

If you do not drink or take ships tours skip the O life
O life does not have anything to do with the airfare, specialties. or internet
If on the larger ships La Reserve & Privee are fee based dining venues
Terms & Conditions also known as "the fine print"
yes it is frowned upon on Oceania to take drinks from you personal stash to public areas
Enjoy whatever cruise you choose
I would clarify with who did the booking if you have the OBC or not before making plans to spend it 😉
No formal nights on Oceania
You can bring as many bottles of wine as your like
NO you should not take a glass from your cabin to any of the public spaces
You can drink it in your cabin or pay the corkage
Please to not spoil Oceania generous policy of allowing pax to bring wine onboard
I would take some time & read through the forum here most of your questions will be answered already
Be sure to read the T & C's on your invoice
Also check the FAQ's

I agree
I have Mr Picky to live with
He has never gone hungry on Oceania
He may not order the fancier foods but he always finds something he will eat
I choose things I do not get at home like lamb DH does not eat it so I never buy it
There is something for everyone you just need to choose what you like to eat
No cruise line is perfect IMO
Some of the people on the Rock go away for the winter so maybe try again soon
is this the company?
