2Go Travel Review from Manila to Bacolod: My first time traveling by sea

Most Filipinos prefer to travel by sea or at least those who don’t have enough cash to get a plane ticket do. Traveling by plane is expensive unless the ticket is on sale. I like it though because it’s the fastest mode of transportation. People who can’t afford a plane ticket opt to travel by sea. It’s cheaper and they can have a baggage allowance of up to 60kg so long as they can carry it which is ideal for our people with heavy baggage to transport. Depending on your destination, the travel time can take up to 24 hours or more.

As part of my travel escapade, for the first time, I want to try traveling by sea. After my trips to Baguio , Sagada , and Banaue , I went back to Manila. I tried checking CebuPac’s website for an affordable ticket from Manila to Bacolod but I didn’t find any until the idea of boarding a ship crossed my mind.

How much does a Business class ticket cost?

Ticket cost varies depending on your destination and the time you book. I booked mine on 2Go’s website for a Business Class which cost me almost 2,564Php inclusive of tax and insurance.

What class options do they have?

The cheapest is the Mega class. They also have a Super Value class, Tourist Class, Business Class for 4 and 8, Stateroom for 2, and Suite room for 2 is the most expensive.

Since it’s my first time, I chose the Business Class. I boarded MV St. Therese of the Child Jesus that had a route from Manila to Bacolod on to Iloilo and to Cagayan.

Onboard St. Therese vessel

Check-In process and boarding were very straightforward. I paid 250Php for a porter to bring my luggage to my cabin. A crew escorted me to my designated cabin where I waited until the departure.

TIP: If you can carry your luggage, do so to save money from paying a porter. If you have a piece of heavy baggage, hire a porter for convenience.

What to expect inside the 2Go vessel?

They had a comfortable cabin. It was minimal yet it didn’t feel like it’s cramped. The room had a TV for entertainment. There were four bunkers because I chose the Business Class for 8. They also have a Business Class for 4. They provided a clean blanket and linen.

It was spacious inside the ship. There were lots of amenities. There was a restaurant, a saloon where you could get your hair done while on the ship, and a convenience store where you could buy snacks.

Horizon Café  serves the meals for Business class, Stateroom, and Suite room.

Food is included in the fare. Since the travel time was 24 hours, I got 3 complimentary meals from breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Breakfast – the last meal before closing the port in Bacolod

There’s a different area where meals for other class are served.

Was it worth getting a Business class ticket?

Business class ticket costs more than any value class ticket. The good thing about getting a Business Class option, apart from a comfortable cabin, is when it’s meal time, the queue is not long. There’s almost no waiting time for your food to be served.

In other class, the queue was long. People there had to wait for several minutes just to get their meals.

Horizon Café offered a variety of food from chicken, pork, beef, and vegetables. It’s served in a buffet, and you can opt for a combination of meat and vegetables.

They prepared different activities for passengers that night. There was a singing competition in a karaoke bar on the ship. They also had a live band which I didn’t get to watch. I didn’t feel well then. It’s the first time I traveled at sea for 24 hours. I only traveled for two hours via a ship before. So when night came, though I wanted to join the fun, I chose to stay in bed. I had to force myself to get up and buy medicine. Thank God they sell medicines in the ship.

A Christmas tree in the hallway

The whole trip went smooth. I didn’t even feel that I was traveling. I get to know other passengers in the same cabin.

We had an early breakfast when morning came as the ship was closing the port in Bacolod. I had to pay 300Php again to a porter to bring out my luggage.

How was my experience?

Overall, the experience was unforgettable. My first-time traveling by sea was very comfortable. Thanks to the efforts of 2Go Travel. Next time I’m in Manila, I will consider traveling with them again, provided I can spare enough travel time.

You can do a lot of entertaining things while on board. For me, I felt I just stayed at home for a whole day doing things like reading an eBook and watching TV.

PROS: Comfortable, convenient and lively

CONS:  My trip was rescheduled 3 times. The travel time was longer.

Join the fun at night. It’s worth it. Nevertheless, I had a great time with them.

Till the next adventure!

Inday ❤️❤️❤️

Company Information

Formerly known as Negros Navigation, 2Go Travel is one of the core subsidiaries of Philippine-based 2GO Group Inc. which was established way back in 1949. The operator specializes in passenger ships and fast ferries operations. It was formed by a merge of the biggest shipping lines in the country: SuperFerry, Cebu Ferries, and SuperCat which became known as SuperFerry and subsequently acquired by Negros Navigation. The company has one of the most modern and expansive fleets of inter-island vessels in the Philippines including roll on/roll off passenger vessels that can accommodate up to 1800 passengers as well as fastcrafts. 2Go Travel currently has 106 outlets all over the country located in malls, travel agencies, and various ports.

Routes served by 2GO

Manila is the most popular point of origin for 2Go ferries that head to various destinations across the country. In Manila, 2Go ferries depart from North Harbor Pier 4, which can be accessed by a jeep.

Manila–Cebu

2Go sails for Cebu 4 times weekly on FRIDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY, and WEDNESDAY . It is a 23-hour journey.

Manila–Cagayan de Oro

2Go’s 44-48-hour, 1400 km sea journey to Cagayan de Oro is similarly popular with three weekly departures on THURSDAY, SUNDAY, and WEDNESDAY .

Manila–Zamboanga

There is one departure a week to Zamboanga every SUNDAY . Travel duration could be as much as 42 hours.

Manila–Bacolod

2Go ferry leaves for Bacolod every THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, TUESDAY taking about 27 hours.

Manila–Puerto Princesa

Twice weekly, on TUESDAY and FRIDAY , there is ferry service to Puerto Princesa . This voyage can last about 30 hours.

From Batangas

Aside from Manila, EVERY DAY EXCEPT MONDAY 2Go Travel also operates vessels from the Batangas Port to Caticlan for those who are bound for

• Boracay , 10h30m
• Romblon , 7 hours
• Odiongan , 7 hours
• Roxas City , 15 hours.

Note that Batangas to Caticlan is an extremely popular route, so advanced online booking is highly advisable – especially if you are travelling during the summer months.

2Go Travel Ships

Currently 2Go’s fleet that operates routes from Manila, consists of the following vessels:

• 2go St Francis Xavier – to Butuan City, Cebu, Iligan City, and Ozamis City
• St Pope John Paul II – to Cebu and Cagayan de Oro

2Go Travel Schedule

If you need to check the departure dates of a specific vessel, then a complete 2Go ferry schedule can be found on the company’s official website. Otherwise, please refer to the timetable provided in the ‘Routes Served by 2Go’ section above.

2Go Travel Fare and Tickets

2Go cruise ships feature different cabins and accommodation options, from super-cheap Mega Value Class to luxurious Staterooms or Suitrooms for 2, hence regardless of your budget you are sure to find the type of ticket that suits your pocket and meets your requirements. Note that in summer it is better to opt for an air-conditioned type of accommodation as it can get oppressively hot even in the open sea. The most popular 2Go Travel ticket options are Tourist Class and Cabin for 4 which offer the best value for your money. Sample 2Go Travel ticket prices are as follows:

• Mega Value – USD32
• Super Value – USD36
• Cabin for 4 – USD47
• Tourist Class – USD41
• Cabin for 4 – USD62

Batangas–Boracay

• Super Value – USD26
• Tourist Class – USD35
• Cabin for 4 – USD41

2Go ticket booking can be made in person in any of the company’s outlets or online via the official website or via OTA like us. Booking process is easy with instant confirmation.

When booking online, an e-ticket is issued, which should be then shown at boarding together with your valid ID. IMPORTANT! If you do not print out your e-tickets you will be asked to pay for your real ticket at the port.

2Go Promo Tickets

To grab the best deals with 2Go, shop during seasonal sales periods. 2Go Travel promo tickets are a great way to save big on your sea journey. The best strategy to take advantage of this is to subscribe to the company’s pages in social media. There are both promos for immediate travel and advanced booking.

• 2Go has really placed a premium on the safety and comfort of their passengers. Security checks of luggage are always conducted. There is a sufficient number of life jackets on board, lifeboats, an in-house medical unit, a rescue boat and even a few police representatives.
• The amenities and facilities are not to be frowned upon, either. There is always a good front office, a 24/7 cafe, a full bar, live entertainment, salons, and spas.
• There are charging stations on board for passengers of all classes.
• 2Go ships including common areas and toilets are generally cleaner compared to other ferries around the archipelago.
• Overnight trips are a great way to save some bucks on accommodation and entertainment.
• 2Go can arrange onward transportation for passengers through their partner companies to make your travel even more convenient.
• Trips can be delayed or cancelled due to weather conditions, especially during the typhoon season. Be ready and be flexible. This is not the fault of the company, though. Yet in case of a delay no complimentary food and drinks are offered.
• The refund process if you require one can take as long as 2 months if you cancel your tickets paid for by a bank card for any reason.
• Air-conditioning is often freezing cold but overall the price and experience are hard to beat.

SAILCATION: Traveling to Boracay by Sea with 2Go Travels

Experience Boracay with 2Go Travels

Table of Contents

There’s no better way of traveling to Boracay than enjoying good food, great service, and a comfortable bed, all while onboard. Experience a new and exciting way of traveling by sea with 2GO Travels!

I used to think that traveling by sea was uncomfortable and boring because I had to sit back for all those long hours of sailing and wait to arrive at my destination. However, 2Go Travels changed this outlook of mine on sea travel, and here’s why.

Batangas-Caticlan Trip via 2Go

Things were made easy for us when we arrived at the newly renovated port of Batangas. The area was completely organized and far from the usual terminal scene, where everyone appeared to be rushing. This was not the case because we arrived early, perhaps an hour before the vessel we were to board left the port. 

Travelers from Manila can take a bus from PITX bound for Batangas International Port. For an easier itinerary, travelers can also bring their personal transport bound for Batangas.

It’s the off-season, so there weren’t many people waiting in line at the ticket counter. Passenger luggage just had to go through the baggage scanner after ensuring tickets to Caticlan. After waiting for a short while in the passenger waiting area and having the porters take care of our luggage, we were ready to board the St. Augustine of Hippo.

Upon arrival at the lobby, the crew greeted us and assisted us to our room. They just asked for a valid ID from one of us before handing us the key. The state room we stayed in had a king-sized bed, a bunk bed, a small fridge, and a comfortable room with a shower. It can accommodate a family or a group of friends with four members.

It costs P7,376 with 12% VAT to have gold accommodation on the MV St. Augustine of Hippo. The accommodation from Batangas to Caticlan includes a state room and both meals for dinner and breakfast. There are cheaper options for accommodation like a cabin, which is a room with 2 bunk beds, a comfort room. There is also a tourist class and a supervalue.

A Vacation that Begins Onboard

Accommodations, fees, and facilities may vary depending on the vessel and the destination. However, on the MV St. Augustine of Hippo, there is a chapel, a 2Go Gear shop, a minimart, a clinic, the Horizon Cafe, and the Island Fiesta, which you can enjoy at the Sea Breeze Area on the top deck. The MV St. Augustine of Hippo sails not only to Caticlan but also to Roxas, Capiz , and Odiongan, Romblon .

At dinner time, we get to enjoy the delicious 3-course meal they serve us at the Horizon Cafe. While at breakfast, we also enjoy a hearty meal and a morning drink.

At the Island Fiesta, passengers could enjoy a live band and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. If you’re more of a homebody like me and enjoy midnight snacks while binge-watching your favorite series, the Island Fiesta is also open 24 hours a day and serves a variety of snacks and drinks.

There is a charging station in the lobby, so your gadgets running out of battery is nothing to worry about. There were sockets available inside our stateroom, and we were able to charge our gadgets before departure the next morning.

We traveled by sea for the first time, and 2Go exceeded our expectations. Our team all slept well the night before our morning arrival in Caticlan. Which surprised us because who would have thought that traveling, particularly by sea, could provide a good night’s sleep before a busy day? Perhaps the calm sea helped, but 2Go, in our opinion, had worked its magic throughout the 13 hours of sea travel.

Looking Towards Going Home: Caticlan-Batangas via 2Go

There is no better way to return home after a wonderful time exploring the beautiful Boracay than with 2Go Travel.

I had a great time trying different foods and taking Instagram-worthy photos on the beautiful white beach. Boracay is an amazing island to visit, but instead of being sad to return home, our team was actually looking forward to boarding another 2Go Travels vessel. This time it’s the MV St. Ignatius of Loyola.

The lobby of the MV St. Ignatius was relatively larger upon entering. The Horizon Cafe and the Island Fiesta are in sight as we approach the lobby. We are again greeted by the ship’s accommodating crew, who assist us with our luggage and rooms.

Our accommodations this time include a suite room. It had a queen-sized bed, a TV, and a clothing cabinet, while the comfort room was larger. The newer and larger vessel than the first we boarded explains the noticeably spacious rooms and lobby.

We didn’t enjoy the live band as we boarded because we were exhausted from exploring Boracay. However, we did get a good night’s sleep that evening and were woken up by the beautiful sea view from our window.

As we ate our delicious brunch at the Horizon Cafe, we could take in the breathtaking ocean view. Late afternoon, after a quick tour of the ship, we arrived at the port of Batangas.

Disembarking, like our previous experience, was made simple by the ship’s crew. Indeed, 2Go makes sea travel more enjoyable and convenient. Imagine a vacation that starts as early as you hop onboard. Spend quality time with family and friends while on sailcation, and experience the best way to travel by sea with 2Go Travels.

hah. they gave you the best cabin. i guess cuz you're a blogger and they want to show the best. most cabins given are bunkbeds with curtain partitions.

All cabins on board a 2go vessel are standardized, so they didn't give the best cabin because she's a blogger. All the cabins aboard St. Michael the Archangel looks absolutely the same. Cabins in other vessels may vary.

Hey Anonymous, Yup, as seen in photos posted. :) They weren't that bad actually. The point of this sponsored post is to promote sea travel. That there different rooms/options in their sea vessel depending on the passenger. We want to get rid of the notion na kapag nag barko may katabing mga manok or something. Haha.

Is it safe? Cause im planning to try this so that i can save and i have lots of things to bring. :)

Hi anonymous, Well as long as the weather forecast on date of travel is good and clear then I guess it's safe. :) Mas recommended siya actually if you have a ton of stuff with you coz puwede mas maraming bitbit kapag sea travel unlike air travel.

hello po. do you have some picture of the stateroom or suite room? . ive been searching for it but nothing found.planning to go sea travel next month. thank you

Thank you for your blog. The pictures are very nice and interesting. This really makes me want to travel by sea.

Hello! Ask q lng po yong price ng cabin good for 4 person na po b un? Or per person? Ex: 3.5K yong price. Thanks po.

Hello Ae Ryung, If I'm not mistaken the price is per pax if you book online. Best to call their hotline: (+63 2) 5287209

Hi miss, Yong cabin for 4 po ba is typical room na may susi na anytime na aalis ka pwede ilock? And pa'no po if 3 lang kami, need ba talaga ifill up yong bakante na magiging 3 plus 1 na di kakilala? I have no idea kasi. Please pa'no set up nun? Thanks much Ma'am:)

Hi anonymous, Not exactly sure about that. I think once you get the room it's already good for 4. But to be sure just call their hotline: 5287000

Hi how about 5 person, can we share a room?

Hi Keren! Best option is to get the tourist room that has 6 bunk beds which is definitely good for sharing. ;)

Hello po. I'm Carmeli. I'm studying sa UST-Interior Design. Nagtethesis po ako ngayon and I'm focusing po sa mga interior design ng ship. I'm just wondering po how did you get a tour inside? Or were you invited? I was hoping po sana na makatour din ako inside and maybe interview some people. If you know someone who can help me po, please let me know. My email address is [email protected] Salamat po! Have a good day! :)

Hi Regina, we were invited by 2GO mismo. Try to contact their marketing team via FB: https://www.facebook.com/2GoTravel

Hello good work for doing this post. I want t try one the last time i made use of similar trip was around ten years ago. Do they have cabin type for a single person?

Hello there! I can't exactly remember but I do know they have a state room which is like the best room available and has one king sized bed. Better call their hotline just to be sure.

Hi.. Ask ko lang po may picture ba kayo ng stateroom?? Almost similar lang po ba sila ng cabin room? Thank u :)

If I'm not mistaken the stateroom is a little bigger than the cabin room. Queen sized bed na ata yung bed dun kaya bigger area talaga.

Hello po ask lng po f ung tourist room ba f my t.v and aircon po ba?and hw about f lalabas kming apat na mag anak for dinner or any my susi po ba kmi to secure our laugage?

Not sure now but during our trip I do not remember seeing any television in the tourist room. Yes there's AC and you can lock doors too.

hi 2go i went to 2go branch near in our place i just really wonder why it is the price is different from this online

Please take note that this blog entry was posted back in 2013. Prices change without prior notice.

Is there a room like admiral's cabin like super ferry which is good for 2 only? Or good for one?

Is the admiral cabin like the most expensive? If so then yes. It's called the state rooms. Sorry I dont have a photo of it but its basically a deluxe room with a queen bed if I'm not mistaken.

Pwedi ba akong kumuha ng tourist room kahit mag isa lang ako? I wont mind sharing with strangers as long as ..they dont disturb me and not minding my business...

If I'm not mistaken you can. :)

Sponsored advertisement above. That ship was new and the photos were staged. It's normally full of masses of sweating passengers. The one we were on was aging. Their listings are confusing with no pictures of Business Class on their web site. Only the prices of available classes are shown, so the price might not be a guide as to which is best. Strangely business class is little better than their supper saver economy class. Before booking I called their customer service to find out about the best room we could book and this was not cleared up. I was left expecting the best from business class. Prices are not a clear indicator of which class is better as these very widely from one vessel to another or perhaps depending on availability. On board I was even shown to the regular super saver washrooms when I specifically asked for the business class washrooms and had just shown my ticket. We upgraded to cabin class, but later discovered that the upgrade did not include the better food or lounge access normally included with cabin class. The food for business class on down is a dab of mystery meat, sweet sauce, cup of rice, and cup of soda, no water unless you pay. Expect a line stretching around the halls of the ship for that. Otherwise you pay maybe 200 PHP for a meal of semi passable food, not including water. There is no tissue in any of the washrooms and there was no water for a shower morning or evening when most people would like to take one. The cabin windows don't appear to ever be cleaned on the outside. Their are numerous extra charges for porters and terminal fees. Any luggage beyond carry-on must be handled by a porter for a fee at both ends of your journey. We were warned not to allow more than 1 porter to handle our luggage. Apparently things infamously go missing if you do. If you have a lot of luggage, you will have to really insist on only 1 porter. When we arrived in Cebu we were quoted 1500 PHP to get our luggage from pier 4 to pier 1. There is a free shuttle but it will accept very little luggage. I carried all our luggage off the ship myself in 5 trips which took about 25 minutes. It mostly took that long because of only one narrow gang plank for everyone going both ways, porters included. So narrow it was a clear safety hazard. Then the port had no place for private taxies to stop at all. Had to walk about 4 blocks to catch a taxi on a busy street. Paid 200 PHP for the porters cart and 300 PHP for the taxi. In the end even with our 45 kg of luggage each, and last minute booking we should have flown. It would have only cost about 15% more to save about 24 hours and get a much more pleasant experience. The only plus was my 5 year old daughter's excitement about being on the ship, especially going out on the deck to catch the sea breezes and look at the sea. - Stephen

hahahaha. debunked. It is actually true. So dont expect to find what the blogger presented.

As posted, this was a sponsored post. So yeah, expect companies to up the ante when they're expecting special guests on board. But hey, I've tried them going to Boracay from Batangas Port and have no complaints. It's not like they're known to have 5-star accommodations like Star Cruises, etc.

sarado ang sun deck mula manila-dgte. vice versa KJ mga crew sa barkong to, unlike sa St. Francis Xavier. tuloy ang mga pasahero andun lahat nag tumpukan sa likurang bahagi ng barko. kung nasa tight budget ka get the tourist accommodation small difference from super value and mega. kung may budget ka go for cabin, stateroom or the suiteroom.

Nagkataon sigurong pagod ang crew and minsan you can't help but understand na lang what they have to go through on a regular basis. :) But yes, I wouldnt mind traveling with 2go in the future, nice naman na kahit papaano ang services.

Hello meron po bang business class? If yes, how many beds?

Please see photos above for different types of room.

Ung economy po ba na ticket ay kasama na ang meal?

Not so sure about this coz sponsored trip ito for us so provided automatic ang food. Best to contact their customer service.

Hi! Great post! Just curious, what camera did you use for these nice shots? Thanks in advance!

Hey, thanks for visiting! I haven't brought my Nikon DSLR then, so I used my smartphone ASUS Zenfone Selfie to capture these photos. Then I use PITU editing app for finishing touch-ups :D You may check my PITU review here: http://www.forurbanwomen.com/2016/04/impressions-and-review-pitu-makeover.html

This is great and looks like an amazing adventure. The room sizes look spacious as I would have thought they might be smaller. You cannot contain your excitement in the pictures which is great. I can only imagine how fun a trip like this would be up on the top deck!

totally fun, like you can do ocean viewing and hangout with friends or with fellow passengers

Its so cool that you got an invite ! thanks for all the info, I will check out their website. I am not a full time travel blogger / influencer so , not sure whether I can get so much time out to travel all across Philippines cruising, although would love to do so one day...

Wohooo, I wanna try this! I have never made a longer journey with a vessel, and it really looks much more comfortable than flying. Now, they also have a chapel, seriously? Seems like everything is very well thought out :)

they are now giving importance to passengers even their spiritual needs!

you seem to have had a great time. i have always seen cruises on televsion programmes but never really gone for one muyself. in India, there are very few options as such. But this looks good and maybe one day in future I will try it out myself.

Thanks! Yeah you must!

beautiful accommodation for the high end traveler but wow I would not want to stay in those bunk beds in the economy section!

hahahaha those are perfect for more adventurous and cowboy-type of travelers

The inside of the ship is amazing! Not so sure about the outside.... reminds me of a cargo ship! Looks like you still had a great experience!

Yeah, but what matters most is the inside of the ship.. I don't care much on its outside appearance

This looks like a lavish cruise, cruising in the Philippines in such luxury should be an awesome experience. Never been on a cruise, hope to do this some day.

That is a beautiful ship! And I love the look of the beauty products. I think traveling by ship is so glamorous. Looks like you had a great time!

I did! And I'm excited to travel more with 2Go. Yeah such a classic skincare :)

Fabulous post and I LOVE cruising! I was on three cruises last year and have one later on this year, but I have never been on an 2Go cruise, so it was interesting to read all about it and see the photos too! What a great adventure! Karen

Ohh good for you! I also want to try other cruise line, and luxury cruise includes in my bucket list.

You're so right about the accidents. They can happen anytime anywhere irrespective of the country. The cruise looks beautiful. I've never been on a ship, I'm still stuck to small boats :) you had a great time

if you survive using a small boat, oh definitely you should try a bigger one! Thanks Tamshuk :)

Love the pink also :) So feminine and fun! I definitely agree that all forms of transportation have their risks, but it's still worth going. I hope this becomes a popular mode of transport :) I love the sea. Cute write-up!

Thank you Tae! You are such a sweetheart :)

That looks like a nice budget cruise ship, especially for first time cruisers. Love the pink logo.

Hello Jennifer, Yeah totally budget friendly, and another good option to travel from island to island :)

I've never heard of this cruise line, but this is a very thorough review! I will have to consider them if I go on another one!

Hello Meghan, If you will visit the Philippines, maybe you might consider taking a 2GO Cruise!

I haven't tried cruising around the Philippines yet but the 2gotravel looks like a good idea to navigate and visit different big city islands abd cheaper option to flying.

Hello Anne, Yeah and you can save a lot from your travel money :)

I love cruising but have never heard of go2travel . I am going to look into it though as looks a nice way to travel. I don't think I would like economy though as I don't like sharing lol

Thanks anonymous! Hope you'll avail their travel services soon!

Wow, this looks quite comfy, I would love to travel with 2Go I guess! Very helpfull article!

Thank you A.Petit!

I have been to many cruises here in Greece, as it was part of my job! I love the sea and the ships and I travel every year by boat. This cruise ship is so awesome! That thing you mentioned about the wave sounds? Yeah, I made it a picture on my head. And it looks great! :)

Ohh you are soo lucky to be always in a cruise!

Extremely detailed round-up of the cruise liner, complete with food and amenities and facilities of all kinds. You are right, lot of people are wary of travelling by sea, and I am one of them. In fact, I love train travel the most. Maybe, I would be ready for short-hauls at the most :)

Hello Punita, Our train sucks! Its scary actually, lol

Wow....such a colorful cruise. You excitement is evident from the pics.

Thank you! I would love to cruise again soon :)

That is indeed a beautiful ship. And you look gorgeous. And yes, we must face our fears and travel by any mode...It definitely should not stop us.

Thank you Ami! Well I do have one limitations on travelling - I don't ride motorbikes!

How about info for disabled passengers? Are lifts provided per levels of the ship??
