Manila to Dumaguete Destination Reviews

SD
I thought I'd try something different other than flying. It was ok. I don't regret it. You don't see much on the way but it's still beautiful. It's a smooth ride. The staff was nice. It's tough to sleep well in there. They said they'd provide sheets but they did not. The toilets were absolutely disgusting the whole time. The food was very basic, not too tasty, but it's ok. You can buy coffees and snacks on board. Also, bring change (lots of 5 PHP) to charge your phone onboard.

No clear itinerary, not worth the hassle, trip took 8 hours more than the set expectation, trip started an hour late. Was not given a heads-up that the booking doesn’t include the ferry fair. Uncomfortable. Ceres doesn’t have printing service, took me an hour to look for printing good thing I arrived 2 hours prior. So much hassle
