Quiet and comfortable.

Thanks Rick.

I love the ferry rides Edwin.

Thanks Donny.

Thanks Gary. Only a 2 day trip on business.

You're welcome James. Have you been doing any travel?

thaimaxcan It's very difficult and certainly not customer friendly. Forget about online bookings. We had to go to Cebu from the large island of Leyte only 55kms away to fix up business at the BDO bank because our local branch in Leyte IS NOT online to other BDO's banks in Cebu. My wife had to get up at 4am to get to Hilongos port and wait at the sellers office and hopefully get us a good seat. Coming home it was the reverse experience going down to Cebu port hoping to get a ticket home as there is only one ferry during the day plus one at night which no one wants because if its sink no other ship will notice and help you. As an Australian used to everything being online and swift all I can say is ''thank God my wife knows what to do and is prepared to get out at the crack of dawn''. Once on the ferry you have to climb up 2 or 3 flights of very narrow stairs with hand rails only on half the stairs and then you don't get a seat!! They give you a foam mattress to lay down on which is very hot from your body heat. I won't even dare to mention the toilets, but leave it to your imagination. I said to my wife ''next time we take a bus 160kms to Tacloban and fly to Cebu.

One challenge in "explaining" the ticket process as it varies quite a bit in different areas and ferry companies....but I will attempt it in the future.

If you have a local partner, let them do it.😂

@@rodpettet2819 Problem is the bank expected both of us to be present and also I wanted to buy some Aussie food unavailable in Leyte.

@@1967hashem From Hilongos to Cebu there’s also the Gabisan Shipping fastcraft day trip that leaves in the morning at 8:30, leaves Cebu at 2pm daily except Tuesdays or whenever else they cancel on a whim. It’s not that fast really, takes 4 hours but it’s a smaller passenger vessel with seating and not the bunks. Gabisan also does a night trip with a larger RORO ship, I’ve never been on that. In Hilongos the Gabisan office is on the street that leads to the pier and last month we had no problem getting a couple tickets there an hour before the morning trip. Roble Shipping goes at night daily and does day trips I think on Fr-Sa-Su. If you ever need a backup there are 3 companies with several fastcraft departures per day on the Ormoc-Cebu route. Oceanjet, SuperCat & SeaCat. I had to go to Ormoc once when the Gabisan canceled on me. The schedules are hard to keep up with, it’s enough to make a preacher cuss every time I research it before making a trip. And in Cebu, isn’t it hilarious how the passenger terminal numbers don’t match the pier numbers on which they are on?

Thanks Brent.

I will try to get back down that way soon Robert.

LOL! A little rough coming back but not too bad Bob.

Thanks David. She is often at work but occasionally in my video. I have seen the nasty comments some get about their girlfriends so I am not interested in trolls.

Good points Johnny.
