This is not the 2GO site. If you purchase a ticket from here, you will pay a large fee. Go the genuine ticketing agency instead!

Being a westerner I only achieved one meal which I brought American breakfast, this was ok but was not available on second day. The toilets were disgusting, I was happy not to eat to avoid using them.😬

The ship is good but not the policy is clear, they have a lot of hidden chargers. Like what u did to my booking the price of my booking is around 6200 but ur deduction to my debit is 6770 is to much, and also about the cargo they get 5000 pesos for my cargo it's generator by the way, then when we arrive at cebu terminal they took again 1000 for the terminal fee but they not show any receipts.
