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.
