JeLai's SHIP tRip!-Part 2

MANILA BAY CRUISE by Metrostar @ MOA

With the Manila Bay Clean-up Project by Mayor Lim, together with the bars, and restaurants…the Manila Bay Cruises were eliminated. ..
But the good thing is! Its now back and it’s located within Mall of Asia premise!
From Doulos, we rode a cab again (good thing we decided to take a cab instead of the LRT) it was a lot faster!
The terminal is not exactly located in Mall of Asia, it is actually quite far since it is past San Miguel by the Bay. The terminal is located at Shrine of Jesus, The Way, the Truth and the Life- the church across yet a little farther from mall of Asia.
We bought tickets and discovered that the terminal also bring people from Cavite back and forth to Mall of Asia.
We are taking the Manila Bay Cruise which has actually two options: the Sunset Cruise or the Evening Cruise. Since we arrived at 6, we took the evening cruise which turned out to be the best!

The trip was scheduled for 7pm. We boarded in the small ship and it started to slowly sail…there was actually a recorded narrator during the start of the tour. We were situated in a not so good area…and the crew where much accommodating to transfer us. We were placed at the open space after the captain’s cabin where we can entirely see the bay. The first thing we saw is the SM Mall of Asia Façade.



In a few minutes, the Mall of Asia Fireworks Display started- it gave both me and my hubby a totally different experience of watching fireworks display! We were like so near…it was awesome! (Below is a video of the Fireworks Display)





Next was a view of the Global Fun Carnival… then we passed by Sofitel as well. As we cruise back, the little ship was a lot faster this time.








The entire tour was amazing, fun and relaxing! This is can be great with your barkadas specially with your loved-one-for a cute date.
