Samar to Cebu Destination Reviews

Jason TThe shuttle from Calbayog depot to pier was one tiny bus for the whole pile of about 170 people plus luggage. Given the heat and health issues I payed extra for trike to pier and additional pier fees. Kids vomiting on the boat and running feral was a bit much. Latrines smelled of stale hot cooked urine. Published 2pm departure. Left at 3:05. Better than a 10 hr ferry but still was 8 hours total after 2 hour pre departure showtime.
