My ferry was cancelled and I have not received any information regarding the refund of my ticket. At the ticket counter on site, I was told that the refund should be processed through 12Go, but I haven’t heard anything since. I would like to receive the refund for my tickets and at least be contacted by 12Go to know the current status.

- Trip took 5 hours, not 3.5 as stated in the app and on the PDF voucher. But I already counted on this time based on other reviews, so I was prepared. - AC good, but varied where you sit on the boat. Be prepared and bring a jacket or sweater. - No WiFi on board, a shame with such an expensive ticket (around PHP2600 pp)

It took 5h instead of 3:30-4h :( People were tired and hungry so had to eat chips they sell on ship. Don't plan any island trips or flights scheduled after this trip.

There was too much turbulence. And they lied about the duration. It's a 5-hour journey.
