Anyone know from other Oasis ships, if these Boardwalk balcony cabins can be noisy, from all the people above and below?

I have yet to hear about noise complaints. However, there is definitely NO privacy :(. Allure is my fav out of them all. With all things being equal, the staff on the Allure is very personable and enjoys their job which really stands out.

We faced the same dilemma three years ago. After looking at a range of options we linked up with 3 other couples from our roll call and hired a minibus. It picked us up from 3 hotels, stopped for a break half way through the trip. I don't remember the cost, but recall that it was one of the cheapest options. Btw, we met the others for dinner the night before - a great way to start the holiday

That would be awesome! So far no roll call check-ins but I'll keep an eye out. The private van/bus seems very affordable ($240 for a van) and most convenient. The kids are still itching to ride the bullet train, which would require 2 transfers (hotel to train station $78 >(cost of train ticket) > train station to port $60)

Sailing on the Ovation in July and flying in to Beijing. I see Tianjin cruise port is 2+ hrs away (ugh). Bullet train gets me half way there in 30 mins but not sure what to switch to after that. Would taxi/private car be less hassle (having luggage) out of Beijing? I heard traffic is a nightmare . . . Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
