Yes, if i do not remember wrong there used to be 4 on ground, now only 2 left. They cut cost during covid time. Company used to try to market these ladies like the SIA stewardess.

Usually 1 will be at departure and 1 at arrival today.

Hi hi bro, enjoy your trip ya.

Ever since last year, other than peak period months like CNY and Christmas time, the ferry i took is almost sure to be near to "empty" all the time.

My August 2023 Trip on the ferry :


Almost every trip, i will take video/photo like the above. And they are almost the same like above hence i also lazy to share.

Huh? I thought the price for hotel has mostly all gone down?

The hotel and most hotels i came across offers a lower pricing as compared to before covid time.

Only those hotels that were operating by some organization like Harmoni group, Artotel group, Sheraton group, Aston group, Swissbel group etc were priced higher.

Most of the rest of the hotels, like Namii, Biz, Pagoda, BCH, Hana, Barelang hotel, Holiday hotel etc were down-priced.
