Manila Bay Yacht Cruise Dinner – a romantic date to immense yourself and your partner enjoying the beautiful skyline of Manila Bay.
Are you so busy on your work duties that all your dates usually goes on restaurant near your office vicinity or along the way home? When there’s no variety, you’ll feel that your dates are monotonous or “nakakasawa” in Filipino. It is good thing that our dates has two types: the major one and the minor one. The major one are usually during monthsary, birthday and some especial events. We usually have allot a budget and create an itinerary beforehand. The minor dates are the unplanned or spontaneous dates. Example is when we go to mall to buy something or pay a bill, then we decided to eat at not-so-pricey restaurant.
This Manila Bay Yacht Cruise Dinner is a major date. Actually this post is a super throw back since this date is a celebration for my birthday (July). Kevin found this coupon a month before my birthday at MetroDeal and scheduled it on an amenable date for us and to Legworks, the company that offers the Yacht Cruise.
Pre-Â Experience:
We travelled from Quezon City to CCP Bay Terminal, Manila Bay Area and we arrive at the place around 4pm. Though we have printed the instruction from Metro Deal on how to go there and followed it, we really did not recognized the place a few times so we called Ms. Edith of Legworks and gladly she is so accommodating and answered the call on the second ring. Legworks is beside the Harbor Square in front of the CCP Complex. In the left side of Harbor Square, you will find a spacious parking lot, get inside and on the left side you will find the LegWorks office. Alas, here it is!
We found the Legworks staffs accommodating. They answered our inquiry call about the direction. I also overheard that there is also another customer asking for direction on how to get there and they politely replied despite the slow pick up of the caller. Â There is a mono block lined up on the receiving area so we just sat there while waiting. And before boarding, there is a staff who gave a short talk about Legworks, their services, and how secure will be our short cruise will be. The pictures below shows the nice view from the dock..
Aboard: I still find the staff accommodating. There are men assisting us on boarding the yacht because it is quite windy and might go off-balance. They will politely greet you. I always believe that staff of any establishments plays a very big role for the good experience of the customers. We once dined at a Japanese Restaurant in one tourist spot place near Manila and we are so disappointed that the staff seem nonchalant and  heard nothing from us.  Spoon came at the end of the meal, drinks were very late, amongst other.. Though the food is good we really made up our mind to not dine on any branch of that Japanese restaurant because of our bad experience from the staff.
Okay, going back.. The yacht will not immediately depart the terminal after the passengers have boarded. Maybe they gave time for the passengers to roam around, take our pictures and appreciate the view. My tip is to take all the pictures you want because when the yacht started to run, you can’t roam around anymore because you’ll look after your balance (because sometimes it feels shaky) and you’ll feel dizzy. The yacht per trip accommodates 50pax, and there are tables and chairs set up. For me, the set up is quite crowded. If you are going to go to the other side of the yacht, you will first ask the other passengers to move their chairs to give way. There are assigned seats for every couple/group in the Yacht. I am glad that me and Kevin were assigned inside the cabin because there are few tables there and we are located near the food catering, though being in a Roof Deck gives you an advantage of a nice view during the cruise..
The view inside the cabin. There is a flat screen TV that plays a concert of a singer which name I forgot.. We also have a short chat with the captain and smiles at some of our jokes. 🙂
I am not a food critic because I am not that good in cooking. All I am after if it tastes good- and for me, our dinner in this Yacht cruise tastes good but cold. They allowed us also for the second round of food, Kevin happily take his second serving. But I am contented with what I ate because i feel like throwing up cause it feels shaky and giddy while the yacht is running and I am not comfortable with that.
You’ll see several cargo vessels and the beautiful skyline of Manila Bay, and it is a good sight..
It is already dusk when we returned to the dock. The next batch of passenger is waiting, but I think that the afternoon cruise is better if you really want to appreciate more the beauty of the city and capture it in pictures.
The experience is good but Bitin! I hope that next time we can cruise for 2-3hrs in a good-weather-afternoon. Not everyday that common people like us will board a yacht, cruise the Manila bay and appreciate the beautiful skyline of Manila.
