I paid US$107.64 ( including card fee) for 2 pax. My adult daughter n I wanted some privacy n I noticed that for a 4 pax sharing one cabin, the price was around $20. So I thought I was paying for a 2 pax cabin however, 2 strangers turned up with valid tickets to share our cabin. They were a little noisy talking on the phone at night. Hence, I had emailed 12Go for an explanation n possibly a refund. Still awaiting their reply.

A little narrow but definitely worth it andA even got some sleep. Worst thing is there is no toilet on board and the bus makes one stop for a toilet.
