00:43.2
ay yung tungkol sa Royal Caribbean Cruise from Singapore.
00:46.8
And dinitali natin kung paano makahanap ng murang sailing
00:50.3
and magkano ang dapat i-budget.
00:52.6
This time naman, we'll do the same thing
00:54.9
but magfofocus tayo sa Resorts World 1 Cruise
00:57.9
at magkano ang dapat i-budget.
00:58.0
na naka-homeport sa Hong Kong.
01:00.4

01:29.3
So, just like last time, we'll present this in FAQs
01:32.9
o Frequently Asked Questions na format.
01:35.5
And siguro, ang una nating dapat sagutin is...
01:41.4
What is Resorts World 1?
01:45.4
Ang Resorts World 1 ay isang cruise ship na owned and managed
01:49.0
by Resorts World Cruises.
01:50.9
Sila rin ang may-ari ng Genting Dream
01:52.8
na nakabase naman ngayon sa Singapore.
01:54.7
Pero itong Resorts World 1,
01:57.1
dito siya sa Hong Kong nakabase
01:59.1
or nakahome port sa ngayon.
02:01.1
Which is great kasi very accessible naman ang Hong Kong
02:03.6
and maraming pwedeng gawin doon.
02:05.9
Actually, over the past 6 months,
02:08.6
twice na kaming nakapag-cruise
02:09.9
on board Resorts World 1.
02:11.9
Yung una was in October,
02:14.0
Hong Kong to Vietnam yun,
02:15.6
and upon the invitation of PAL.
02:18.0
Pero yung most recent namin
02:19.6
ay nitong late February lang,
02:21.4
kasama ang family,
02:22.7
and we paid for everything.
02:25.5
4 days and 3 nights naman,
02:27.1
we'd stop sa Sanya,
02:28.7
sa Hainan Island in China.
02:30.8
Pero it turned out na
02:32.1
4 times ko na pala itong natry in total
02:34.5
kasi prior to last year,
02:36.4
nakapag-seal na rin ako sa same ship
02:39.9
back when Superstar Virgo pa ang name nito.
02:43.0
Dati kasi, it was owned by Star Cruises,
02:45.5
but after the pandemic,
02:46.9
when Resorts World Cruises took over its operations,
02:50.0
ni-rename and ni-refit ito
02:51.8
and naging Resorts World 1 na.
02:54.4
Hindi ko na-realize agad
02:55.6
kasi minakeover nila yung name.
02:57.8
Pero just like before,
02:59.3
80% pa rin ng workforce nito
03:02.5
So, kahit na most passengers
03:04.2
ay from Hong Kong and mainland China,
03:06.7
at home pa rin yung feeling ko
03:08.0
kasi kapag may Pinoy na guests,
03:10.1
inaalagaan din talaga
03:11.2
ng mga Pinoy na staff.
03:13.3
But to manage your expectations,
03:15.1
if nakapag-spectrum of the seas ka na
03:17.3
or kung ano man of the seas yan
03:18.9
ng Royal Caribbean,
03:20.4
know na mas bongga yun
03:22.9
and overall experience.
03:25.4
and mas luma kasi
03:26.4
itong Resorts World 1.
03:28.1
Pero mas mura din naman
03:29.3
kasi talaga siya.
03:30.6
So, iayon lang natin
03:31.8
yung expectations natin
03:36.5
Okay, question number two.
03:38.6
How much is a Resorts World 1 cruise?
03:42.1
Depende yan sa tatlong bagay.
03:45.0
Yung number one is yung ruta.
03:47.2
Number two, accommodation or room type.
03:50.0
And number three, travel dates.
03:52.7
So, unahin natin yung ruta.
03:54.4
Resorts World 1 kasi
03:55.4
currently applies to all of us.
03:56.4
It has multiple routes.
03:58.5
merong five-night na cruise
04:00.4
to Okinawa, Japan.
04:02.2
Meron ding five nights
04:03.3
na papuntang Vietnam.
04:05.9
meron ding mga walang destination.
04:08.0
Puro nasa laot lang.
04:09.6
Yan yung two-night weekend getaway
04:12.2
But, you might have guessed
04:14.0
yung mga five-night cruises
04:15.3
like yung to Okinawa,
04:17.8
kesa sa mga two nights lang
04:20.9
Pinakamura talaga
04:21.8
ay yung two-night weekend getaway
04:23.6
kasi hindi ito magsastop
04:25.1
sa another destination.
04:27.7
pagkaalis ng ship sa Hong Kong,
04:29.6
nasa laot lang yung ship
04:32.0
Tapos, babalik na rin sa Hong Kong.
04:34.0
Para ito sa mga mas interested
04:35.7
mag-try mag-cruise
04:36.7
and explore ang ship
04:37.8
kesa sa mga stops.
04:41.1
kung sa clue ka magbubuk,
04:42.4
ay 4,300 Hong Kong Dollars
04:45.2
or 31,500 pesos per room yan ha
04:49.4
Or nasa 15,750 pesos per person.
04:54.2
kumpara sa presyo
04:55.2
sa direct na website.
04:56.4
Nung time na sinusulat ko ito,
04:58.4
may ongoing promo
05:00.4
kapag 3 or 4 kayo sa room.
05:03.4
Babagsak siya to only
05:05.4
12,450 pesos per person.
05:07.4
Good deal na yan.
05:11.4
walang stops ito anywhere ha.
05:13.4
High seas lang talaga.
05:15.4
Kung gusto nyo talaga na may stop,
05:17.4
ang pinaka-affordable na nahanap ko
05:19.4
ay yung two-night cruise to Sanya.
05:21.4
Sanya is a city sa Hainan province sa China.
05:24.4
You can avail of it
05:25.4
for as low as 1,250 Hong Kong Dollars
05:29.4
or around 9,000 pesos per person
05:31.4
as of this recording.
05:33.4
Makukuha mo yung rate na yan
05:34.4
kung interior room ang ibubuk mo
05:36.4
and apat kayo sa room.
05:40.4
or 36,320 kasi ang room
05:43.4
na inclusive na of four charges
05:46.4
na good for four packs.
05:47.4
Divide mo yan sa four
05:49.4
and you'll get yung 1,250 per person
05:51.4
na sinabi ko kanina.
05:54.4
1,250 HKD or 9,000 pesos per person.
05:58.4
Yun ay kung apat kayo sa room.
06:00.4
Kung dalawa lang kayo talaga,
06:02.4
the cheapest na nahanap ko
06:04.4
ay sa two-night na Hong Kong-Sanya sailing din
06:07.4
and interior room din.
06:09.4
Nasa 3,400 HKD naman yun per room
06:15.4
Pero kung per person,
06:24.4
So ito. Ito yung summary.
06:26.4
So Hong Kong-Sanya two-night cruise
06:28.4
kung interior room
06:32.4
tapos 1,250 per person.
06:35.4
Kung dalawa lang kayo,
06:38.4
or 1,700 per person.
06:40.4
So hindi na siya masama.
06:42.4
Actually, mura na nga talaga yan.
06:44.4
Yan yung cheapest rates na nakita ko that time.
06:47.4
Ngayon kasi na ini-edit ko tong video,
06:50.4
parang hindi na available yung
06:51.4
two-night and three-night cruises
06:53.4
na may stop sa Sanya.
06:55.4
Pero i-keep ko na lang din
06:56.4
itong mga info na to
06:58.4
just in case may reinstate yung route.
07:02.4
sobrang sulit na yan.
07:03.4
Considering na kasama na dyan
07:05.4
lahat ng meals on board
07:07.4
and yung mga activities,
07:09.4
may access dun sa amenities
07:11.4
and nightly show sa Zodiac Theater.
07:13.4
Kahit yung balcony room,
07:15.4
sulit na sulit na yun.
07:17.4
sobrang good deal na talaga yun.
07:19.4
Speaking of rooms,
07:21.4
ano ba yung best room to book?
07:26.4
May apat na main types of accommodations.
07:28.4
Yung una, yung interior stateroom
07:30.4
or interior room.
07:32.4
Ito yung smallest
07:33.4
and walang window.
07:34.4
Kaya siya interior.
07:36.4
Second is ocean view room.
07:38.4
Ito naman, may window.
07:40.4
So, kita mo yung dagat.
07:42.4
Pag sumilip ka, yun.
07:43.4
Di may, yun, may window.
07:45.4
Yung third is balcony stateroom.
07:47.4
Ito naman, may balcony, obviously.
07:50.4
And yung pangapat na klase
07:51.4
is yung palace suites.
07:52.4
Ito yung pinahalak serious na option.
07:54.4
So, huwag muna natin i-discuss yun.
07:56.4
Mag-focus muna tayo sa mga rooms.
07:58.4
Tatlo sa mga yan, na-try na namin.
08:00.4
So, yung huling cruise namin this year,
08:02.4
dalawang klase yung binook namin.
08:04.4
Kasi dalawa kaming,
08:06.4
yung family namin, dalawang groups eh.
08:08.4
So, isang balcony, tapos isang interior.
08:10.4
And, na-try din namin yung balcony
08:12.4
nung huling cruise namin nung October.
08:14.4
And, naranasan na rin namin
08:16.4
yung ocean view, back when Superstar Virgo pa siya.
08:20.4
Ang hindi pa namin na-try is yung palace suites.
08:22.4
Kasi, for us, masyadong mahal.
08:24.4
So, sa totoo lang,
08:26.4
best experience namin ay sa balcony room.
08:29.4
For me, it gives the best value for money.
08:31.4
Plenty of space to move around,
08:33.4
maliwanag yung room,
08:35.4
and may view ka of the sea and the port of call
08:37.4
kapag nag-stop na.
08:39.4
Itong huling cruise namin,
08:41.4
yung Hong Kong Sanya namin,
08:43.4
balcony yung binook ko para sa nanay and sister ko.
08:45.4
And, lagi kaming nakatambay sa room nila
08:47.4
and nagpipicture sa balcony. Lalo na nung
08:51.4
Kasi, ang ganda ng mga buildings.
08:53.4
Pero, if you have just enough budget
08:55.4
for an interior room, go for it.
08:57.4
Huwag mong i-drop yung idea nung cruising
08:59.4
altogether, just because di mo pa
09:01.4
afford yung best rooms. Kasi,
09:03.4
sa totoo lang, you'll be spending most of
09:05.4
your time naman outside,
09:07.4
exploring the ship. And, kung gusto mo
09:09.4
naman ng magandang view, punta ka na lang
09:11.4
dun sa top deck na accessible naman sa lahat.
09:13.4
And, syempre, mas maganda yung view dun.
09:15.4
Unobstructed. Pero,
09:17.4
kung interior yung pipiliin mo, kahit
09:19.4
kasya naman yung apat na tao dun,
09:21.4
based on experience, mas okay
09:23.4
na hanggang tatlo lang talaga.
09:25.4
Kasi, yung kama nung pang-apat na
09:27.4
tao, ano yun eh, sofa bed.
09:29.4
Tapos, parang ina-unfold.
09:31.4
Medyo humaharang kasi sya sa daan
09:33.4
papuntang bathroom and papunta sa pinto.
09:37.4
sumisikip. Awkward
09:39.4
yung position. Pero, if balcony, okay
09:41.4
lang. Kasi, yung sofa bed nun
09:43.4
malaki and spacious pa rin. Kahit
09:45.4
in-unfold mo yun, ang dami pa rin space.
09:47.4
Pero, kung interior, I suggest hanggang
09:49.4
tatlo lang talaga. If hindi ka naman
09:51.4
particular sa shampoo, soap,
09:53.4
or toothpaste brands, meron din
10:01.4
How to book a Hong Kong cruise?
10:03.4
Ako, I book with Klook kasi
10:05.4
mas madaling intindihin and sanay na sanay na
10:07.4
kasi ako sa Klook. Most of the
10:09.4
time, nagre-reflect din sa Klook yung
10:11.4
promos ng Resorts World Cruises. Tapos,
10:13.4
minsan, may additional discounts pa.
10:15.4
Madalas, mas mura sa Klook
10:17.4
kaysa sa direct website. Example,
10:19.4
check nyo to. Same travel
10:21.4
date, same route, same number
10:23.4
of packs. Pero, mas mura sa
10:25.4
Klook ng 1,000 Hong Kong Dollars
10:27.4
or roughly 7,500 pesos
10:29.4
kaysa sa direct website.
10:31.4
7,500. Ang laking
10:35.4
Sa Klook na rin kayo mag-book, punta na lang
10:37.4
kayo dito sa link na to.
10:41.4
Shinortan ko na para mas madaling yung mahanap.
10:43.4
And, ilalagay na rin namin sa description and
10:45.4
pinned comment. So, yan. Basta ito
10:47.4
yung link. Basta click mo lang yan.
10:49.4
Then, under package options,
10:51.4
unahin mo nang piliin yung
10:53.4
ruta or route na gusto mo.
10:57.4
Sanya, or high seas lang.
10:59.4
Then, pick a sailing date. So, yung
11:01.4
date lang na lalabas dyan is depende sa
11:03.4
pinili mong ruta. Then,
11:05.4
choose regular or promo.
11:07.4
Nagbabago yung promo, depende sa kung anong
11:09.4
ongoing na paandar nila.
11:11.4
Tapos, choose kung ilan kayo sa room.
11:13.4
Then, you'll need to enter
11:15.4
yung names and details ng lahat
11:17.4
ng members ng group nyo. So,
11:19.4
i-collect nyo na before pa kayo
11:21.4
mag-book. Tapos, check out na.
11:25.4
Yung mga promo codes ng Cloak,
11:27.4
hindi siya gumagana dito sa Resorts World 1.
11:29.4
So, huwag nyo nang i-try. Hindi siya gagana.
11:31.4
I-click nyo na lang tong link na to.
11:33.4
Tapos, doon na kayo mag-book. Tapos,
11:35.4
huwag nyo nang, hindi talaga, excluded
11:37.4
kasi siya talaga sa mga
11:39.4
Cloak promos. Kasi, hindi ko alam kung bakit.
11:41.4
Basta excluded siya.
11:43.4
Pero, you can still help us get some
11:45.4
credit if doon kayo mag-book sa link namin
11:47.4
na ito, ito nga. Ito.
11:49.4
Toink, toink, toink. Then,
11:51.4
after booking, you'll receive confirmation
11:53.4
via email. Makakatanggap ka rin
11:55.4
ng mga reminders at least 3 days
11:57.4
before your sailing date.
11:59.4
So, abang-abang lang kayo sa email.
12:05.4
What's included in the booking?
12:07.4
So, kapag nag-book ka ng Resorts World
12:09.4
1 Cruise, kasama na sa mga
12:11.4
binayaran mo yung accommodations
12:13.4
o yung room na binook mo.
12:15.4
Kasama na rin yung port charges.
12:17.4
So, per person yan.
12:19.4
So, magbabago yung presyo ng booking mo
12:21.4
depende kung ilan kayo eh. So, kasama
12:23.4
na yun. Huwag nyo naisipin yun.
12:25.4
Access to amenities like yung pool,
12:27.4
yung gym, yung lounges,
12:29.4
at kung ano pang mga paandara sa loob ng ship.
12:31.4
And, meron ka rin nightly
12:33.4
entertainment including yung mga shows
12:35.4
sa Zodiac Theater na
12:37.4
very family-friendly.
12:39.4
Most of them. Meron isang medyo adult pero
12:41.4
most of them ay family-friendly.
12:43.4
And, of course, lahat ng meals
12:45.4
dun sa tatlong inclusive
12:47.4
restaurants on board. Yes,
12:49.4
all meals. So, breakfast,
12:51.4
lunch, dinner, basta
12:53.4
dun kakakain sa tatlong complementary
12:55.4
restaurants. Yung restaurants na yan,
12:57.4
yun yung Dalido na international
12:59.4
buffet, The Pavilion na
13:01.4
Chinese family style,
13:03.4
and yung Dream Dining na
13:05.4
sort of fine dining pero hindi naman talaga
13:07.4
sya fine dining. Tapos, pwede kang pumili kung
13:09.4
Western or Chinese yung menu.
13:11.4
And, ang maganda pa dyan,
13:13.4
technically, unlimited
13:15.4
yan. Kahit sa Dream Dry-
13:17.4
Drining tuloy. Kahit sa
13:19.4
Dream Dining na proper sit-down
13:21.4
style, although normally, i-ask
13:23.4
ka nila ng isang appetizer, isang
13:25.4
main course, isang dessert, in reality,
13:27.4
pwede kang umorder ng additional.
13:29.4
So, for example, sa main course,
13:31.4
hindi ka makapili between pasta
13:33.4
and steak kasi gusto mo pareho,
13:35.4
eh, huwag ka na mahihiya,
13:37.4
orderin mo na lang pareho. Okay lang
13:39.4
yun. Walang magja-judge. Yun.
13:41.4
Ano naman yung mga hindi kasama
13:49.4
Hindi kasama yung airfare papuntang Hong Kong.
13:53.4
KKB, kanya-kanyang book.
13:55.4
And, syempre, ikaw na yung bahala
13:59.4
promo ng airline. Basta,
14:01.4
kahit anong kung anuman, basta, KKB tayo
14:03.4
dyan. Mandatory gratuities
14:07.4
Hong Kong Dollars per night.
14:09.4
Per person. So, yes, per
14:11.4
person ito ha. Hindi ito katulad ng
14:13.4
Royal Caribbean sa Singapore. Nakasama
14:17.4
Nakasama na sa booking yung gratuities.
14:19.4
Kasi dito sa Resorts World 1,
14:21.4
need mo pa itong isettle sa last day
14:23.4
ng cruise. So, kanyari kami,
14:25.4
three nights, yung huling cruise
14:27.4
namin, three nights, we had to pay
14:29.4
$450 per person pa.
14:33.4
per person. Hong Kong Dollars naman
14:35.4
yun. Yung meals sa specialty
14:37.4
restaurants, hindi rin kasama. So,
14:39.4
yung specialty restaurants, yun yung
14:41.4
all the other restaurants na hindi
14:43.4
kasama dun sa tatlong binanggit ko kanina.
14:45.4
So, pag dun kayo kakain,
14:47.4
may kanya-kanyang bayad na yun.
14:49.4
Wala na mapipilit sa inyo na
14:51.4
kumain dun eh. Kaya nyo na
14:53.4
the entire time, the entire cruise ay
14:55.4
puro sa inclusive restaurant kayo
14:57.4
kakain para tipid. Okay lang yun.
14:59.4
And of course, kung magsha-shopping ka rin
15:01.4
on board, ikaw na yung bahala dun.
15:03.4
Hindi na covered yun. Ikaw na yung magbabayad kung ano yung
15:09.4
Where to stay before or after
15:11.4
the cruise? Hindi rin
15:13.4
kasama sa cruise booking yung
15:15.4
hotel nyo sa Hong Kong in case magplano
15:17.4
kayong mag-spend ng nights sa land,
15:19.4
which I highly recommend. Kasi nasa Hong Kong
15:21.4
ko na, sayang diba? For me,
15:23.4
kasi ideal na mag-stay muna kayo
15:25.4
sa isang hotel before yung cruise
15:27.4
nyo. Yun yung talagang
15:29.4
mararecommend ko. Ideally kasi,
15:31.4
i-target mo na naka-board ka na sa
15:33.4
ship ng morning. May sailings kasi
15:35.4
na 1pm ang alis sa Hong Kong.
15:37.4
Meron ding 3pm. So, depende yan
15:39.4
sa ruta. I-check nyo na lang yung itinerary
15:41.4
dun sa website nila. Depende sa
15:43.4
ruta mo. Pero, basta mas
15:45.4
maaga, mas maganda.
15:47.4
Given that, hindi ko mairecommend na
15:49.4
mag-book kayo ng flight on the same day.
15:51.4
Kasi if in case ma-delay or
15:53.4
ma-cancel yung flight mo, sayang
15:57.4
hihintayin ang barko. Hindi kayo ganun
16:01.4
to be on the safe side, book a flight
16:03.4
at least a day before your
16:05.4
cruise or yung sailing date.
16:07.4
But that also means na you'll need to book
16:09.4
a hotel na extra gastos
16:11.4
pa. Pero, ganun talaga.
16:13.4
Okay na yung napagastos kayo pero nakasakay
16:15.4
kayo kaysa nakatipid nga pero
16:17.4
naiwan naman ang barko. Diba? Pangit
16:19.4
yun. So, kung ganun,
16:21.4
I have two areas na sa tingin ko
16:23.4
ay okay. Yung una
16:25.4
ay yung Kai Tak area.
16:27.4
So, yung Resource World 1 kasi uses
16:29.4
the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal na located
16:33.4
Yan. So, ito yung full address
16:35.4
naman niya. So, medyo
16:37.4
detached siya from the city center,
16:39.4
from Tsim Sha Tsui, Central, ganun.
16:41.4
But, if you want easy access sa
16:43.4
cruise terminal, hanap ka na lang ng mga
16:45.4
malapit na hotel. Pero,
16:47.4
honestly, wala akong mahanap na hotel
16:49.4
na within short walking distance lang
16:51.4
from the terminal. Need pa rin
16:53.4
talagang mag-bus or mag-taxi.
16:55.4
So, hindi talaga ako dyan nag-book.
16:57.4
Which brings me to my second
16:59.4
recommendation. And that is
17:01.4
yung area near the airport.
17:03.4
Specifically, dito sa Sky City.
17:05.4
Because we booked in advance,
17:07.4
we were able to book a room with
17:09.4
Marriott Sky City for 10,000
17:11.4
pesos per night. Sabi nyo,
17:13.4
ang mahal naman, 10,000 per night. Pero,
17:15.4
good for 4 packs na yan. Bali,
17:17.4
2,500 lang siya per person.
17:19.4
Good deal na yan.
17:21.4
Bakit? We chose to stay
17:23.4
dito for 3 more reasons. Una,
17:25.4
kasi the flight na we booked ay
17:27.4
HK Express and midnight
17:29.4
yung dating sa Hong Kong. So, hindi na rin talaga
17:31.4
kami nga makakapaglibot dun sa pagdating na
17:33.4
namin na day. May igin ang mag-rest
17:35.4
agad. And ang maganda sa Marriott,
17:37.4
meron silang free airport shuttle
17:39.4
kahit past midnight. At I think
17:41.4
12.45 yung last trip
17:45.4
Yung second reason
17:47.4
namin is kasi may plan kaming
17:49.4
mag-explore ng Disneyland and
17:51.4
Ngong Ping na malapit
17:53.4
yun. Malapit yun sa Sky City
17:55.4
kaysa sa city center.
17:57.4
And pangatlo, madali
17:59.4
lang din magpunta from the airport area
18:01.4
to the cruise terminal. So,
18:03.4
all we needed to do is to take the free hotel
18:05.4
transfer to the airport and then
18:07.4
from the airport, nag-bus lang kami.
18:09.4
And hindi yung siksikan
18:11.4
kasi first stop yung airport eh.
18:13.4
Sabihin nyo naman, taray!
18:15.4
Nag-Mariott! Kasi guys,
18:17.4
sobrang mahal na nga ng mga hotel sa city center.
18:19.4
Yung mga budget hotels dun,
18:21.4
halos pumapantay na sa presyo ng mga
18:23.4
upscale hotels dito sa Sky City.
18:25.4
E mas convenient pa nga dito
18:27.4
given yung itinerary namin.
18:29.4
Tsaka, lagi kasi kaming budget hotel
18:31.4
mag nasa Hong Kong. So, para maiparanas
18:33.4
ko naman sa nanay ko yung
18:35.4
Marriott. The Marriott Life. Cheka!
18:37.4
This time around, maiba lang.
18:39.4
Pinatry ko na sa kanya. And
18:41.4
2,500 per person sa Marriott,
18:43.4
hindi na masama. Anyway,
18:45.4
if may bala kayong mag-book ng
18:47.4
hotel, makakamura kayo sa
18:49.4
Klook if you use our promo code
18:51.4
ThePoorTraveler. Or, check nyo rin
18:53.4
yung description and pinned comment
18:55.4
just in case meron kaming mas bonggang
18:57.4
promo code. Nagpapalit kasi yung mga
18:59.4
promo codes every year.
19:01.4
And, although hindi gumagana
19:03.4
yung mga promo codes sa pag-book ng cruise,
19:05.4
o may effect naman yan kapag hotels yung
19:07.4
ia-avail nyo. Sayang din yung
19:09.4
discounts. Ilagay na rin namin ang link
19:11.4
sa description and pinned comment.
19:13.4
Yun. ThePoorTraveler na
19:15.4
promo code ah. Yan.
19:21.4
Kailangan ba ng visa
19:23.4
kung papunta yung cruise nyo
19:25.4
sa Okinawa or Sanya?
19:29.4
probably you're thinking, generally
19:31.4
kapag Japan and China, kailangan
19:35.4
baka need pang mag-apply. Pero,
19:37.4
for Philippine passport holders
19:41.4
Okinawa and Sanya by cruise ship,
19:43.4
hindi nyo kailangan ng pre-approved visa.
19:45.4
Meron lang kayong kailangang bayaran
19:47.4
na i-charge naman dun sa room mo.
19:49.4
So, for Okinawa sailings,
19:51.4
i-charge lang kayo ng international tourist
19:53.4
tax na 55 Hong Kong Dollars
19:57.4
per person. For Sanya naman, yung
19:59.4
cruise namin, kailangan lang
20:01.4
ng document handling fee na
20:03.4
15 Hong Kong Dollars or around
20:05.4
110 pesos per person.
20:07.4
So, na-try na namin yan pareho actually
20:09.4
and talagang hindi needed.
20:11.4
Nakapag-Okinawa na kasi kami na cruise
20:13.4
at saka Sanya na cruise and hindi talaga
20:15.4
kailangan ng visa. Never kami nag-prepare ng visa.
20:17.4
Sa Vietnam naman, hindi naman siya
20:19.4
talaga kailangan whether by plane, by
20:21.4
cruise ship or by land ka darating kasi
20:23.4
visa free naman tayong mga Pinoy sa Vietnam.
20:25.4
Yan ay as of this recording ha.
20:27.4
So, hindi ko alam kung anong date mo
20:29.4
pinapanood tong video na to.
20:33.4
Syempre magbabago na yun.
20:35.4
So, double check with Resorts World Cruises
20:37.4
kung kailangan nyo ba or hindi para sa sailing nyo.
20:39.4
Specifically yung ruta
20:49.4
boarding requirements? So, kahit na hindi
20:51.4
naman kailangan ng pre-approved visa,
20:53.4
meron pa rin mga documents na kailangan
20:55.4
mag-prepare. So, una na dyan,
20:57.4
of course, yung valid passport.
20:59.4
Tapos, kailangan nyo ng two
21:01.4
photocopies of yung
21:03.4
biopage nung passport. Tapos
21:05.4
dapat actual size ha, hindi enlarged.
21:07.4
Kailangan nyo rin nung cruise booking
21:09.4
information, printed or digital.
21:11.4
So, kung sa CLUC kayo nag-book, yung
21:13.4
booking confirmation sa CLUC.
21:15.4
And, syempre, magdala rin kayo ng
21:17.4
paggastos. So, pwede yung credit card
21:19.4
or Hong Kong Dollars na cash.
21:21.4
Yung default currency on board is
21:23.4
Hong Kong Dollars or HKD.
21:25.4
Mostly cashless naman yung transaction
21:27.4
on board, sinacharge dun sa room nyo.
21:29.4
Pero pag isasettle nyo na, pwede kayong magbayad
21:31.4
through credit card. Pero,
21:33.4
to be safe, magdala rin kayo ng cash.
21:35.4
Kasi hindi naman tatalbog yung
21:39.4
If you book with CLUC,
21:41.4
padadalhan kayo ng list of requirements and
21:43.4
other reminders 3 days before
21:45.4
your sailing date. And,
21:47.4
mag-check-in ka na rin online before your sailing
21:49.4
date ha. Punta ka lang sa
21:51.4
webcheckin.rwcruises.com.
21:57.4
Ano ba yung mga dapat ipack before
21:59.4
yung cruise? So, bawat passenger
22:01.4
can bring on board a maximum
22:03.4
of 2 pieces of luggage na
22:05.4
up to 25 kilos each.
22:07.4
And, bawat bag dapat kasha sa
22:09.4
room comfortably. Lalo na if
22:11.4
interior yung room mo,
22:13.4
dahil maliit lang
22:15.4
yung space talaga, huwag nyo
22:17.4
nalang damihan yung mga dala nyo. Lalo na
22:19.4
if 2 nights or 3 nights lang naman yung cruise.
22:21.4
Kasi sisikip lang.
22:23.4
Ako personally, when I go on a cruise,
22:25.4
I typically pack 2 sets
22:27.4
of outfit per day.
22:29.4
Yun sa mga days na
22:35.4
para pag mag-e-explore during
22:37.4
the day, and another
22:39.4
smart casual set naman for nighttime activities.
22:41.4
Pero, ako lang yun. Yun lang yung preference ko.
22:43.4
Dito naman kasi sa
22:45.4
Resource World 1, wala namang
22:47.4
strict dress code. Di tulad sa ibang
22:49.4
cruise companies na may places na
22:51.4
dapat at least semi-formal or smart
22:53.4
casual. Dito sa Resource World
22:55.4
1, walang ganun. Casual
22:57.4
dress code lang talaga.
22:59.4
Yung restrictions lang is, huwag lang
23:01.4
mag-chinela, swimsuit, or
23:03.4
pajama dun sa mga restaurants.
23:05.4
So, huwag nyo namang gawin yun.
23:09.4
most ports of call ay nasa tropical
23:11.4
zone. So, di ba? Okinawa, Vietnam,
23:13.4
Sanya. So, yung climate nyan
23:15.4
pretty consistent naman. Mainit.
23:17.4
So, yung Hong Kong,
23:19.4
yung nakaka-experience
23:21.4
ng foreign na distinct season.
23:25.4
yung mas Hong Kong yung iisipin mo.
23:27.4
Bring light clothes
23:29.4
from May to October, and warmer
23:31.4
clothes naman from November to April.
23:33.4
Kasi, syempre, pag pawinter
23:35.4
na sa Hong Kong, malamig na talaga.
23:43.4
Question 11. Ano yung mga hindi
23:47.4
on board? So, kasama dyan yung mga
23:49.4
weapons, firearms, ammunition,
23:53.4
incendiary devices. So,
23:55.4
okay, magdadala nyan.
23:57.4
Mga flammable and dangerous items
23:59.4
of any kind, bawal yan.
24:01.4
Ito yung marami nagkakamali. Extension
24:05.4
So, naranasan ko nang mahold yung bagahe dahil
24:07.4
may lamang extension cord sa loob.
24:09.4
Syempre, bawal din yung live animals of
24:13.4
any alcoholic drink, intoxicating
24:15.4
liquor, or beverage. So,
24:17.4
kasi sa Royal Caribbean, pwede
24:19.4
pwede. Kunyari, wine. Dalawang
24:21.4
bottles of wine yata pwede. Pero
24:23.4
this is Resorts World 1, hindi.
24:29.4
Question 12. Nakakahilo ba
24:33.4
Generally, hindi.
24:35.4
Para sa akin, experience ko.
24:37.4
Madalas nga ay hindi mo naman mararamdaman
24:39.4
na gumagalaw yung barko. Pero,
24:41.4
depende yan sa season.
24:43.4
May mga ruta na medyo
24:45.4
ramdam mo talaga. For example,
24:47.4
diba sabi ko kanina, twice na kami
24:49.4
cruise with Resorts World 1 over the past
24:57.4
very smooth lang yung cruise namin.
25:01.4
nakaramdam ever ng hilo. Pero,
25:03.4
nitong February, yung last
25:05.4
full day namin na high seas,
25:07.4
mararamdaman mo talaga. Ako,
25:09.4
naramdaman ko talaga na umuuga-uga.
25:11.4
And, yung iba kong kasama,
25:13.4
nahilo talaga sila. Lalo na yung
25:15.4
isa kong tita. As in, hilong-hilo siya.
25:17.4
So, kung ikaw yung type na mahiluhin,
25:19.4
prepare ka na lang ng bonamine
25:21.4
or yung anumang anti-motion sickness
25:23.4
to be safe. Pero, kunyari ako,
25:25.4
ramdam ko, pero hindi naman
25:27.4
kasi ako madaling mahilo sa ganyan.
25:29.4
So, okay lang ako.
25:31.4
May nakita naman akong pharmacy on board.
25:33.4
Pero, hindi ko na natanong kung meron
25:35.4
silang kontrahilo doon. Pero,
25:37.4
feeling ko naman meron bilang nasa cruise nga sila.
25:45.4
Meron pa palang isa pang question.
25:47.4
How much budget should I prepare
25:49.4
for a cruise? Depende yan
25:51.4
sa kung anong pipiliin mong ruta
25:55.4
Sa next videos namin,
25:57.4
mag-present kami ng dalawang klaseng itineraries.
26:01.4
