Arriving by ferry or boat is much more interesting than arriving by plane. When the ferry is about to dock, many passengers will stand up and position themselves near the doors. This is actually an unsafe practice as the ferry might bump a bit with the pier bump guards and can throw people standing up off balance. If you think about it, the time between the first passenger out and the last passenger out is about 10 minutes. People really need to relax a bit and not always try to get out first. There’s no door prize or something if you are the first out.
Once off the boat you need to deal with the porters if you have heavy luggage. If you were traveling light, without checked-in luggage, you can go straight out of the gate. Checked-in luggage must be claimed from the ferry crew who will check your luggage number versus the number the piece of paper you were carrying. Porters may charge you anywhere from Php 50.00 to 200.00 for carrying your bags. Please note this is quite cheap considering these porters may have no other jobs and are assigned only once or twice a week at the pier.
