For as long as international cruise companies refuse to come by Manila or any other international port in the country, the best example of what the Pinoy is like are the crew members of these ships. I know some people (locals and foreigners) who've been on international cruises and they always have high regard for the Pinoy crew. Friendly, attentive and courteous and the entertainers are among the most talented they've ever come across. Even the cruise line management prefer our kabayans over other nationalities, maging Asian, American or European man sila. Kung kaya lang ng Pinoy magsalita ng Spanish, Italian, Russian, Mandarin, Japanese, etc., baka naubusan na ng trabaho ang mga taga ibang bansa.
I once went on an Asian cruise on Star Cruises. I talked to a crew member who turned out to be Indonesian. Tinagalog ko, thinking she was Pinoy. Aba, sinagot din ako in Tagalog. She told me that many Asians on their ship, Star Virgo yata yun, can actually speak Tagalog and that they use it as the common language among themselves, lalo na pag pinag-uusapan nila ang mga puti. She said that Tagalog is one of the easiest languages to learn and that the Thais, Malaysians and Indonesians have adopted it as their 3rd language after English on board the ship. It was such a heartwarming thing to find out.
Mabuhay ang ating mga kababayan sa mga cruise line! You may not know it, but you are among our country's goodwill ambassadors.

Hehe... I wonder when he'll make an offer for tsikot.com
William Lines (before it became part of WG&A) had a "small" cruise ship for going around the PI. I remember taking this to Palawan and Boracay over a course of four days (Bora was still a beautiful, clean and unspoiled island back then). However it was probably discontinued as the market probably did not pick up.
