Dining In Prestige Cruise Manila Bay - Is It Worth A Try

id="mod_22226431">
Last November 4, 2012 was the planned date for my family to use our voucher for a Prestige Cruise Merienda "Buffet".

We practically geared up for this (well, not much really), and got the camera ready. At this time, we still haven't bought the DSLR that I've used in some of my blog posts in my blog. Yeah, it was definitely time for some family bonding!

My Excitement with Dining Cruises
Okay, to tell you the truth, I got pretty excited when my mom told us about this. And what added to my excitement was the fact that it would be my first time to ride a cruise.

Hence, because of all these, my expectation for my experience was really high. And this got even more heightened by the Travel Lifestyle Channel (TLC) shows that I was able to watch prior to that.


Now, I just want to show to you a map of the place, so it would be easier for you to check the place out (if you decided to).

The Prestige Cruise
We didn't have a hard time searching for kynghidongduong.vn the place since my dad is already knowledgeable about the place. But it took us about 10 minutes to search which among the ships there in the place was the Prestige Cruise.

And apparently, it was one of the last ones there. So, now, we have reached the destination.

Expectation and Reality
Instantly, upon laying sight on the ship, my hopes shattered like a fragile glass. Every aspect of my expectation was far below par.
And, there was this sudden feeling that I don't like to get in anymore.



Why so? The ships looked the opposite of elegant as the rusts said their hello to everyone! The setting was really dull and a total lacklustre considering the plastic chairs and the unappealing tablecloth. In short, everything was really contrary to the image that I've built inside my mind.


But I guess it was my fault for being so disappointed. My mom only paid about P375 for each voucher? So, I should have adjusted my expectations, right? Well, too bad, Tour du thuyền Hạ Long giá rẻ I didn't Now, I can't help but say that Prestige Cruise was really such a downer considering my high expectations!



Anyway, my mom already paid for the vouchers, and we were already there. So, I just shrugged it off, and convinced myself that this may still be great. #beingpositive


Okay, time to board the cruise!


Smooth Sailing
After we have boarded the cruise, it took about 20 minutes before it sailed off (which made us grew somewhat impatient during that time).

But anyway, after it sailed off, the mood suddenly became lighter as if the breeze took all the weariness with it.

3 out of 5 stars from 4 ratings of Prestige Cruise



Really awesome right? And the view of the sky was really amazing since no buildings were obscuring your view.

Experience in a Nutshell

In my overall assessment, it seemed like what we truly paid for (or found genuine value in) was the experience of riding a cruise, not the ambiance and, unfortunately not the food either. If I would rate my experience it will be 2 out of 5 thanks for the fact that it was my first time to have such experience.

With this, the chances of me going back there to dine again is very slim.


Recommendation
As for my recommendations, well I would generally say it that it is not recommended, but if riding a cruise is really your thing, why not, then? But if you're reason for trying it out is the cruise itself and the food, well, it will be best for you to think it over.

@justasking If I remembered it right, we were supposed to board at 3:00 or 3:30 PM, but it got delayed, pushing it to 4:00 pM.

The cruise went off the deck 20 minutes after, since they needed to check unto a lot of stuff (e.g. engine and etc).
The entire cruise ended at about 5:20 PM.

Thanks for sharing your experience in Prestige Cruise.

Unfortunately, me and my friends already bought vouchers and tonight's our cruise before I read your webpage.
Anyway, I'm still looking forward for an exciting cruise and to capture amazing shots while in cruise.
