A lot of posts here are speculation , wishful thinking & mis information
I would wait & see or try to switch back to your original deal
then just buy a 2nd wifi account is you need it
JMO
if you take your own wine to dinner they are still pouring it for you & you pay the fee
after SM if you take your own wine to dinner they will pouring it for you ..probably with a fee
time will tel
Well then they must be correct if they are an O Rep 🙄

Depends on the quality you want
There is a CVS / Whole Foods close by
ABC liquor store on 1st ave ?
Publix at Brickell you can take the free trolley
Google "wine stores" there are probably others
There are no wine glass police around the ship so people abuse the privilege 🤔
Maybe Oceania will close the loophole & stop allowing people to bring their own wine/spirits onboard .....probably not
Come Oct it will be a non issue
There are always a few in every crowd that have to push the limits 😄
they can take the bottle to a dining venue no charge
same for anyone that gets the wine or champagne as a gift in their cabin
the no no is taking a glass of wine or spirits
people do it but it is against the policy
Usually no you should not take a glass of wine from your cabin to public spaces
you can take a bottle of wine to dinner if it came as part of the suite package for no charge
You can take a bottle of wine you brought onboard to the dining venue & pay the corkage fee
Spirits should be for cabin use only
I would agree the differential is OTT
Did you ask for Premium seats??
I thought they only charge the fee once you agree on the flights offered has this changed ?
I would try for 6:30 or 7 pm just tell them you would like to see the show but I think you will be done by 9pm

I would weigh the cost of flying to MIA & transport to the hotel & the cost of flying to FLL & transport to POM or Miami hotel
If the flight to FLL & the extra cost to get to Miami is less than the flight to MIA then look into that option
For a larger group you may need to find a private transfer company
like those listed above
Good luck
I agree
I would take a nonstop any day over connecting
This past year or so the airlines are switching & swapping flights all the time
Had a nice non stop to YUL now we have a connection in YYZ
Going to practice my "Carry on" packing skills 😄
I do not think I have heard of anyone getting bumped at the port check in
I am sure if they did they would find cruise forums like CC to yell about their treatment by Oceania
This is a reason I never book a GTY or waitlist ..I could not survive the stress of waiting 😄
Enjoy the cruise
I guess it depends on their location onboard
I cannot sit in the lounge or Horizons closer to the front
But we usually have a cabin mid ship or aft & there is some motion in heavy seas but the O class ships are the same
