Always enjoy sailing with Oceania. We sailed from Venice to Barcelona. Staff were most courteous and friendly as on our prior experiences with Oceania. Food was excellent at all meals, it is truly a cruise for Foodies! Their "Lido" restaurant at dinner time is turned into another foodie event with choice of steaks (cooked as you order), lobster, shrimp, sushi, and many other great selections. Their specialty restaurants are a delight for the taste buds. Each restaurant has it's own identity with food choices to match. Best, though, there is no extra charge. Rooms are clean and very comfortable. CON: From where u arrive in Venice, there is a long, long walk to water taxis with your luggage. Oceania should warn their guests of this because it could be a brutal walk in the summer months. Better yet, they should hire transportation to the "water taxi" area! This is something Oceania should do, as a great deal of their guests are up in age and find it very, very unpleasant. We would never do it again unless these changes are made. Just to explain, we flew in 1 day early and were going to Molino hotel. After recovering from a very exhausting trip from airport to hotel, we enjoyed the rest of our cruise.
