$100 Luxury Ferry Suite in the Philippines 🇵🇭 Manila to Cebu City
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ส.ค. 2022
- I took a ferry boat from Manila to Cebu City, and decided to splurge a bit and purchase the "Luxury Suite."
I spent 36 hours onboard this ship, between the cafeteria and my hotel room mostly. My suite package came with three separate meals, so naturally I had to indulge. I also made good use of their snack bars, and managed to sneak some snacks of my own on board.
Along the way I managed to get some great views of islands and the ports along the way. The ship was a tad bit late, so I had to find some creative ways to kill some time.

Thanks for this video coz i saw my son who served your breakfast with the cold hotdog🤣 and black coffee..nice to be here in the Philippines.hope you enjoyed..keep safe
The most good thing in your vlog is that no matter what happen, you always say nice instead of saying negative things. Keep up the good work bro!
thank you! I really appreciate that
@@tatertravels I hope you write down all the things that need to be improved, if any, in a survey form. This way on your next trip, if there is one, you can assess if there will be any improvements. Nice Vlog, very positive but for me I'm not offended if you see any things that needs to be improved, but address it in a professional way.
Enjoy the Philippines, my brother. Beautiful country with respectful and dedicated people. Patience is a virtue.
I actually watched this from beginning to end! I miss the Philippines! Thank you going there for us who can’t come home!❤
Your kind words to our fellow Filipinos is highly appreciated and big compliment. Enjoy your happy Hour and more fun in the Philippines ! Mabuhay ka !
There were hints of sarcasm to his statements but can't complain 'cause he's just being frank.
@@chookscradle6309 yes, I agreed , haha
Bruh,,, thanks for letting me travel with u,👍🏾 that was so cool! Me being an old navy vet, i was glued to the screen the whole time, experiencing the whole trip with u.👌🏾😉
Thanks Bro.
You got it brother, thank you for the kind words. I appreciate you ✌️
The ceiling is really low. You ran into many inconveniences but you stayed positive throughout which is nice to watch. Great review!
I've lived in the Philippines 16 years. I've loved every minute of this video!
Most I have been at in the Philippines is one month.
This is my favorite thing that I do in the Philippines when ever I’m home, traveling riding boats transferring from island to island with my car! Damn I miss Philippines so much! PS hello vlog welcome to my guys!😂🤣😂 laughing hard for that old trending joke in the Philippines
This ship really looks like a luxury ship as compared to the passenger ships we used to take from our island to Manila; the voyage though was reminiscent of my grade schooldays in the Philippines on rundown ships that took 3days to reach Manila ; your suite is really aptly described as luxurious because it is spacious and clean ; the food still seemed familiar(routine) but then this voyage is done in bigger luxury ships(as described) than what we had before; enjoy the Philippines and Good luck to your adventurous spirit !!!!
Small roro po kasi ung sainyo nay. Mga magagandang barko ng pinas is cokaliong,super ferry and sulpicio where both are 2GO now.

@@lydiaramento-tipon4772 🤣🤣🤣🤣 highblood kana lola baka atakihin ka niyan. Pacheck up kana
Thank you for the video bro. And I can see you are a nice guy :)
You have kind words despite being obviously dissatisfied at some point. I like your open mindedness. Some tourists get frustrated when they expect a lot from a foreign country and start comparing their luxuries.
This is very nostalgic for me. My family used to ride ferries when we visit my dad's hometown in Aklan. :)
When I was young, we used to take the Super Ferry from Cebu to Manila and it was like a cruise ship. Some ships even have a pool at the very top deck (or maybe that's just my brain creating a false memory haha) but I do know the restaurant was like a hotel restaurant with nice cushioned seats and all. Maybe it was just because I was so young but the ships seemed way grander before.
You are correct! Those ferry with pool in the deck were Superferry 10, 12 and Princess of the Stars of Sulpicio Lines.
They were made that way. you're memory is point on! Those were the days where air travel is still very expensive and only few can afford. Shipping companies are at each other's throat offering the best services, accommodation and dining. Truly its a memorable experience when you're in one of those ships back then. Now, its more expensive, tiring, mediocre way to travel. They are now mainly functioning as cargo loaders hence the stop-overs on some ports. They are just taking in some passengers so the crew wont be too lonely on those slow, long and arduous journeys.
I think your right but many sank…they were old repurposed Cruise Ships from Europe…Japan…etc..and poorly maintained and too many went under for various reasons…but this Clown was disgusting ….chomping on crappy takeout junk Food.
yeah. during titanic movie years 😅 .
Even the MV Navigation cruise ship was too big rin and they have bar and restaurante it's like a hotel and at night there's a Disco.😁😁😁 Way back 2006, i was 20 yrs old going to Manila. And travelling alone without chaperón, i just mingle with my co-passenger in cruise ship. 18 hours voyage from our city in western visayas to Manila, Luzon.
Good to see that ferries of Phippines were now improving.. Cokaliong ang TransAsia have new ferries too. So clean and refreshing while travelling. Though some of their old ferries are still functioning.
You call this an improvement? Unfriendly/unprofessional staffs, not comfortable room, centralized AC but not working properly, food that supposed to be fancy because you paid luxury but all you get is hotdog, egg and rice. Raise your standards please!
@@thelostandlonelysoul7973 I want to say that this Ferry is now old because they have a new one.. MV Maligaya. Your wish though is my wish too. Since we are archipelagic country, hoping to see a cruise ship too.
@@thelostandlonelysoul7973 if you are paying for a $100 on a 36 hours ferry ride with included meals and own private room, you better need to lower your expectations
Omg tatters channel just took off into the next level this is crazy blessings to tater
I grew up riding ships from Mindanao to Manila stop over in Cebu, Iloilo , Masbate , etc! I've riden the worst storms though these ships! My Tia would pray the rosary and would hear mass the moment we safely arrive at the destination!
Always making me laugh with your sense of humor. Great shots of the ferry going under the bridge. Have fun in Cebu Tater.
Thank you so much for this video, it was an eye opener for me. My wife is from Manila And has talked about taking a ferry, but I didn't know you could actually sleep on one. It's like a little cruise ship.
Travel usually take 24 hours from one island to another but it's a great experience watching the open seas.
Thank you for taking us with you on this trip. I’ve done this trip once with Mv Cebu City very long time ago to Cebu. It was a great experience for me. Hope you’ll enjoy your trip in Cebu and keep safe Sir.
You're a good vlogger!, no boring moments and I laughed from beginning to end! Enjoyed it immensely! LOL!
You’re fun sense of humor is contagious! I’ve wanted to try the luxury room on a ship going to Visayan region or Palawan from Manila. Wait I see while you’re eating breakfast you could be a Viking fan? I’m from Richfield Mn suffered through four Super Bowls as a kid/teen! Keep up the good work wherever you’re from !!
Yes unfortunately I'm a Vikings fan haha. Things might be looking up though! Ha. Haha. 😭
Bantangus pier port to Boracay is a beautiful and scenic ferry journey passing many small islands and only takes 12 hours , not as luxurious as your ferry mind but still worth the experience
Great video buddy, you stirring up many fond memories of my Philippines travels
Stay safe and enjoy your adventures
Liked and subscribed 👍🙌
appreciate you! ty for the kind words
M/V Trans Asia 20 under starlite ferries, only takes 9 hours to get Batangas pier to Caticlan Port(Boracay)
wow 300k views in 2weeks!
i've been watching your vids since your old TH-cam channel and i'm glad to see it's finally taking off! go get that silver play button, bro, all the best! we love your vids.
This blog really got me emotional since it reminded me when me,my sister and two younger brothers made the journey to America back in 1971.,we traveled aboard the ship MV Cebu City heading to Manila to catch our journey to the states. I was only 11 years old then.,it was bittersweet leaving the Philippines. Just a tip here,the taxis in Cebu are regulated and you can report them if they try to con you.,just make sure that you watch them turn that meter on when as soon as you are moving.,believe it or not my brother and me were conned into paying for a lot more just last month when I went to visit my father who lives in Cebu because we didn't pay attention to the driver turning on the meter. The fares there are absolutely cheap compared to the states.,we were averaging about 150 pesos for roughly a 10 mile distance.
Wow, finally hitting the islands. Taking the ferry was a great decision. But the beautiful Cebu airport is also worth seeing. So maybe take the plane when you head back to Manila. But hope you go to Bohol first.
Anyway, so many things to see and do there in Cebu. Hope you enjoy the place.
15:50 - Boiler Room was a double entendre for you, lol. 🚢
Yeah I think I'll end up flying directly from Cebu to the USA here soon. I'm not sure if I will make it to Bohol or not, but hopefully
@@tatertravels Oh I see. Sad to hear you'll be leaving PH after Cebu as there's still a lot to
see even in Luzon alone like Batanes (New Zealand of PH), Banaue Rice Terraces (a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the site they used for the Thanos ending scene in Avengers), beautiful Zambales coves and islands/beaches, Hundred Islands National Park in Pangasinan (with 123 islets with beaches), Mt. Pinatubo Crater Lake (hike) in Pampanga, Mayon Volcano's perfect cone, Camarines Sur's Caramoan Islands (shooting location of Survivor reality show), and so much more. And there are also the festivals to experience (though most of the big ones are in January). So i hope you would still consider coming back in the future. 😊
@@tatertravels I don't recommend taking a trip to Bohol. That place is hell and they will overcharge you for everything until they will get every cents from you.
@@tatertravels skip bohol that place is a wack when it comes to pricing foods just go to other places much better
Your a very nice guy, so polite with a pleasant demeanor, and not fuzzy just embrace , cool, and positive. Have a wonderful time in my country.
Great video a new subscriber here Filipino watching from Sydney!
Damn bro I appreciate your dedication to vlogging our Philippines country much love and safe trip always and be aware always,,, 🤘🏽🇵🇭🤜
Appreciate the kind words! Ty kindly
kinda hated how you were so snarky during the trip and arrival. im out.
I love 2Go. Friendly and helpful staff.
thanks. not much has changed since 30 and 20 years I took the ship to Cebu and Davao. while $100 is cheap with more people in the room but then a plane ride is just few hours of suffering while a ship is at least 24 hours of light suffering. I might be back with ships if they have those Starlink satellites for fast internet
Awww finally your going to island 🏝 enjoy and stay safe. I hope you get more subscribers i don't understand your not getting any much subscribers. You deserve it. 😪 Anyway thank you for your videos love it.😊👍
All in due time ☺️ the channel reset want ideal, but we are getting back on track 👍👍
you made me laugh Bro, that ice temple seen over the port of Manila is called the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church of Christ) and i really loved when you called it an ice temple 🤣🤣🤣
Haha... That church is our congregation. I'm a choir member there. We are officially called the Locale Congregation of Binondo even though the actual church is in Parola, Manila. And yes, we are just a stone's throw away from North Harbor. You should see the church during the night, when all lights are lit. It looks like it is glowing.
There just very friendly people who speak from the heart....
omg, you are too funny, im going to have to show this to my hubby. again, this just popped up on my home page and im glad it did. still watching. back to the video now. lol
The best lechons in the country are from Cebu. The best lechons in Cebu are from Carcar, less than two hours South. This town has serious heritage vibes with houses that go back at least a century or so. Check it out if you're able.
You got it!
Trivia Filipinos have a reputation to be great sea farers Almost every cruise around the world is staffed by a sizable Filipino sea farers. If you should find yourself in an international cruise check with them about the Filipino staff.
Correct one of the best.
Cruise Rotterdam almost Pilipino crew.
I worked for Norwegian Cruise Lines for 7 years now. Yeah you're right, 70% of the crew are Filipinos.
Business practice ..cheaper to employ foreigners ...
When I was there earlier last month we went in a tiny boat with in siargao and the waves tossed us around lol
Remember those days, our younger years.. we used to take Superferry from Iligan City to Manila…like a three days, two night ship trip..
I love your optimism and positive attitude ❤from California
When on a ship I spend most of my waking hours viewing the sea. I counted 50 coconuts on each side of the ship floating on the sea. I guess sea travel in ancient times is not so difficult in terms of sustenance because of the numerous coconuts growing on so many islands.
Out of those 50 floating coconuts, Wilson could be one of them.🤣🤣
There is a lot more plastic and garbage than coconuts. Pretty disgusting, truth be told.
Our ancestors (of Filipinos) are Austronesians. And yes, coconuts were used for supplies ("canoe plants") on long sea voyages for water and food. We basically took coconuts everywhere with us. Introducing it to all islands our cousins colonized.
All over Southeast Asia, Micronesia, Polynesia, and Madagascar. All of which are Austronesian regions. The latter 3 regions didn't have native coconuts until Austronesians brought it with them.
Aside from that, Austronesians also originated the extraction of coconut milk, coconut oil, and palm wine. As well as using coconut fiber for ropes for ships.
And aside from coconut, Austronesians also carried various types of taro, banana, sugarcane, yam (ube), barkcloth tree (paper mulberry), candlenut, pandan, etc. Rice and millet were carried as well, but they didn't survive in the smaller islands of Micronesia and Polynesia.
I am filipino and this service isnt even cutting it. Especially with the A.C! I would go beserk lol. You are very polite and nice to everybody. The food looks odd, like it came from a carinderia, not from a cruise. The receptionist doesn't even know how to properly communicate like a trained service crew professional. I can see that you are trying your best to be positive, but with a little splash of sarcasm here and there haha. This kind of positivity is admirable and I truly appreciate that you still see the good in your trip because other than those blunders, filipinoes are generally good people. 😊
Quality Content ☺ Welcome to Philippines my brother
Thanks for the ride mate ,have a good time,Mabuhay!
I know of the 2go ship for a long time now but didn't tried it out yet because I think there's nothing more to see of it compared to the ships and boats we've rode before...but seeing this vlog made me think of trying it out one of these days. Enjoy Cebu Sir!
Pls send can will be friends add me with my Gmail

I really like your dry sense of humour us Aussies can relate haha.... Thanks for reminding me why I normally take the plane but will do a ferry sometime from Cebu to Manila. I just subscribed to your channel !
We’re happy that your channel is starting to get a lot of attention 🥰🇵🇭☺️
When I was younger I used to travel by boat, it's fun when your not in a hurry and just chill
Same here😁😍
Superferry 19 or 21 ata to before. I worked on this company for 1yr (2009-2010). Happy to see it again, thanks brother. 😁
One day in the Philippines is a long day on a ship since your travelling by yourself. If your girlfriend is travelling with you then its just perfectly fine. 😁😁Just subscribed.

I love your sense of humor😂😂I Enjoyed watching til the end and subscribed too,, , now I got Idea how to travel by sea.❤️
Try going back to Manila via Philippine Airlines so you get to see the new Mactan-Cebu International Airport Terminal 2, which is the best airport terminal in the country. ☺️
probably the worst airport bruh
Domestic flights use the older terminal in Cebu
Hey Man if you still have time do visit Iloilo city and the Island province of Guimaras where you can get top tier mangoes. Explore the beach and check out the local delicacies. Enjoy your travels!
Enjoy your day! Thanks for sharing
Thank you! You as well
this is a very honest review. good job !
There is another ship of 2Go, the MV 2Go Maligaya, a bigger, newer, prettier and faster ship that it took only 20 hrs from Manila direct to Cebu and vice versa.
Or just take the airplane and be there in an hour. 😂
I dunno if Tater's gonna hate me telling this, buy he really looks like the Unbox Therapy guy, the resemblance is uncanny. And the similarity of their voices is a bonus, btw. 😜
I've heard that a few times, but I don't see it haha. Maybe I need a side by side comparison
You’re quite entertaining and have a funny sense of humour. Subscribed!
You're too kind, ty!
Finally an upload Tater.
Enjoy Cebu and the rest of the Islands.
Welcome to Cebu!
I don't think I have the patience to take a ferry 😁
Yeah I got a little cabin fever there haha
Love your sense of humor and finding positive vibes. I missed taking the big boat. My last ride was pre pandemic and I would really wanted to try it again going to Palawan. Have a nice trip. Thank you for your patience and endurance.
wow thanks for this, I've been wanting to try this from Cebu-Manila but I'm scared now I think it's fun. Will definitely try it soon❤
that is one trait of Filipinos to engage in a random conversation with a stranger just like what the lady crew did...
Ha Ha Ha...I am enjoying your story style type of a vlog. You you're funny you lol.. Anyways enjoy your travels in the Philippines and stay safe....😀👍
Appreciate that ty 🙂
Maaan your commentary (sarcasm) is SOOO GOOD!! 😆 Also you're polite and good the vlog is just wholesome, hope you enjoy your travel here in the Philippines
Not so good! Im annoyed! Hahaha. If he takes the regular ship with economy accommodation then He knows what luxury really means!
Really enjoyed the video! 👍🏼 watched every second haha
Yo appreciate this video so much hahahaha! I had a blast watching you endure this trip! It's great seeing this perspective and your opinions, and you were very respectful and humorous about it! I'm gonna be back in December and It'll be my first time as an adult so I'm excited!! Hope you enjoy more of the motherland!! Stop by Hawaii when you fly back to the states!! Experience my hometown and you'll see so much of the cross influence in Hawaii and Philippines!! Thanks for your hard work keep it up!
Haha. So funny that the crew opemed up something personal to you. Hahaha. But its better to talk to a stranger rather than to o friend. Haha
Very true 😂 I got a kick out of it for sure
That lady locked herself in the room with you and started pouring out her life story. Next thing you know, the girl is crying. That's what I saw on Pornhub at least. Lol!
🤣 🤣 🤣 you need a Filipina in your life! Your cruise adventure is quite funny!
Wow! That boat is huge. Was in Cebu a few years ago. I took a smaller ferry to Bohol. Your video is entertaining. Keep up the good work.
Beautiful ship nice sharing 🥰
Come on Tater! The girl was letting you know she’s available…some girls would love to “move” to California.
Tater, did you see her again. You should have.
Enjoy our country cutie pie💗
Hey now! 😉
@@tatertravels keep safe cutie pie and enjoy a lot here in our beautiful country . I love ur vlog and im enjoying watching it❤️
@@alonabuenaventura3660 sana OL cutie pie
ayyyyyyy so kilig haw
This guy deserve a like and Subscribe! I enjoyed the whole vid. Keep it up bro!
It’s very good service to the tourists thanks for this wonderful video and very wonderful of our country men Pilipino proud of God bless us all!!!
Hi Tater I’m sorry to say that is not luxury 😂 I have taken a couple of cruises and it’s not for me. Lots of people love it! I guess because of the unlimited food you can eat and it’s like a big hotel with everything in it. Then you stop at different islands with activities and tours. Glad you made it to Cebu and safe travels on your adventures.
Yeah it was an interesting suite to say the least haha
The hotdog really got me though 😂
@@tatertravels they could’ve given you the longanisa more like breakfast or the tapsilog. Btw hopia comes in many varieties like ube, langka, matcha, pork etc.
This ship is not a cruise ship but a regular vessel which accepts both people and cargoes (except rolling cargoes). The Philippines have no cruise ships for leisure purposes which make stops in touristy places or ports.
@@lionhearted1969 They do accept rolling cargoes (such as brand new vehicles being transported to somewhere else) or just your own car. There are special fees for it but I don’t know how much.
@@azuma4497 I see. But the vessel doesn't seem to accept rolling cargoes because of how it docks at the wharf, sideways. So how do the rolling cargoes exit the vessel? Do they have opening on the side? Because I'm used to seeing ro/ro vessels with their passageway or ramp at the bow for both passengers and rolling cargoes. So that when they dock, they do so bow first to allow the ramp to be lowered onto the dock.
i am a filipino too! and that u are nice to everyone makes me smile!
We always take 2go when travelling back and forth manila cebu and cebu manila..its relaxing..
I did really watched the whole video without skipping. And in my experience, looks like I'm in the ferry boat too!
Looks awesome!! I wanna try it too someday!!❣️enjoy and happy weekend!
Take my word for it. Next time you might wanna try the bigger boys’ ships: Maligaya and Masagana. Those two are the pinnacle of Philippine ferries.
First 🥇, so enjoying your videos.
Appreciate it, ty!
Great video😀 Thanks for posting.
Thank you 😁
Hi Tater! Good to see you again😄
Hi there! Good to see you too 😊
Thanks for sharing your ferry video. I've always flown and have not experienced the ferry ride, so now I know. Enjoy your Cebu trip.
Thank you! Much appreciated
I miss travel by ship..... It's like 20 yrs ago. lol. good thing the water was calm on your trip.
Loved watching your video from the start to the end.
A new fan here. Xin chao from Vietnam. Welcome to my city, Cebu! I miss you Cebu. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoyed your video keep up the good work!
Minnesota brother here in Florida wishing the best. I cant wait to get back there and travel around thanks much
Wow they upgraded the ship! I used to travel by boat from manila to cebu. No nice cafeteria like that.
I like How Polite He Is, You Don’t See Or Here Too Many People Now a days Still Being This Polite, More Power To You I Was Raised The Same Way & It Comes Very Original Like You To Be Very Thankful & Polite, Plus It Always Makes Me Fill Good & Happy & To Respect & Make Others Happy…. God Bless…
This video’s a bit long but I did it!!! I finished without skipping a second hahahaha. Nice trip, brother. Hope you had a great time there and have a great time more and more on your next travels. Mabuhay! 🎉
