It’s the most important item as soon as you step into the ship. You still need valid travel documents, check in your baggage, and pass through an immigration inspection and security checks before boarding. Anything more will incur additional fees.
You will also be provided a see-through plastic pouch wherein you can put your passport and access card (which I will explain later).
The rooms are also equipped with slip-on sandals, bath robes, and toiletries.Takeaway: check the weather in every stop and prepare accordingly. But as soon as we go outside, I had to remove the polo because it would get too hot especially on Ilocos and Kaohsiung stops. In our case, it’s the middle of April! Onboard, I’m clad in shorts and a t-shirt with a polo on top of it. Why two sets? It’s pretty cool inside the ship, but things change as soon as you get out of it. We packed at least 2 sets of garments a day: one set of light clothes for touring, and another for the evening shows. It’s a cruise so it wouldn’t hurt to dress up and achieve your #OOTD goals.You only need to bring your passport and a photocopy of its bio page. If you’re joining the Manila-Laoag-Kaohsiung-Hong Kong cruise, no visas needed.
