Cebu Best Posts in Thread: Ocean Jet due to improve Cebu < >Dumaguete time table

Acc. to Ocean Jets Facebook page they will change time tables via Tagbilaran soon.

"OceanJet will soon offer connecting trips.

Cebu - Tagbilaran - Dumaguete
Cebu to Tagbilaran | 8:20 a.m.
Tagbilaran to Dumaguete | 10:40 a.m.
Dumaguet - Tagbilaran - Cebu
Dumaguete to Tagbilaran | 1:00 p.m.
Tagbilaran to Cebu | 3:20 p.m."

Now this would be an improvement!

 

Maybe i'm stating the obvious, but when you consider getting to the airport in sibulan versus the port of duma, and how far ahead you have to arrive, and then getting off the plane and getting from mactan airport to cebu when the ocean jet arrives and you're in a taxi in 10 min for a 10 min taxi to ur hotel, i don't think the boat is more than a couple hours longer. Certainly more relaxing and less stressful if you like boat rides. .....
As far as choppy, I tend to agree with Dutchie.. But you gotta define "choppy." Not too bad, i've done it maybe 4 times, but i'm comparing it to 30 foot waves on the quarter on a 16,620 tonner transatlantic 62 yrs ago. If you get seasick, skip the ferry fo' sho'.. Lake Balinsasayao it ain't.. <grin>..

 

a good deal longer than flying but nevertheless much better than the bus

 

This is the trip that they had before the pandemic, nicest way to go, beats the bus and not much longer than flying. Biz inside or economy outside. Previous schedule years ago had no boat change in Tagbilaran. Arrive downtown Cebu, always use meter in a taxi, the verbal "deal" is always more than the meter...

 

That schedule is already in place since April 7
