I recently had the pleasure of exploring Tioman Island and I'd booked my ferry there on the Bluewater Singapore portal,
Bluewater.com.sg. Bluewater, I learned later on, is a well-established ferry operator, with a long history of providing crossings between Mersing and Tioman, as well as between Tanjung Gemok and Tioman.
As someone who frequently travels, I was impressed by the seamless experience Bluewater Singapore provides. I think that the company's reputation as the most established ferry operator on the Malaysia east coast is well-deserved, given their commitment. Sure, the crew aren't quite prone to break into a smile whilst checking tickets, but in terms of what matters most, consistent crossings, I reckon Bluewater is A-OK.
Booking a ferry ticket through Bluewater Singapore's platform was straightforward and user-friendly. For one, the website, by being based in Singapore, instilled a sense of trust and security. With frequent media reports about funds going missing after booking tickets on foreign websites, it was reassuring to know that Bluewater.com.sg operates from within Singapore's borders. This local presence eliminates any concerns about the safety of online transactions, making it a reliable choice for travelers, local and from elsewhere.
Variable Sailing Times
The ferry services themselves are good enough, I found. Better yet, Bluewater Singapore operates daily crossings, with departure times varying from day to day, due to the tidal ranges around the harbours. The ferries are well-maintained and equipped with modern amenities, making the journey comfortable and enjoyable. In contrast to what I was read here and there, I appreciated the punctuality of the services, as the ferry departed and arrived on time. Maybe I was lucky?
One of the appealing features of Bluewater Singapore is their dedication to customer service. From the moment I booked my ticket to the time I disembarked, the staff were helpful. The e-ticket provided clear instructions and there's a Support Desk with phone number and email, should I have any questions. This is particularly important for first-time travelers who may be unfamiliar with the process of taking a ferry to Tioman Island.
Beautiful Blue Yonder
The journey itself was a highlight. The scenic views of the South China Sea made the trip to Tioman Island a memorable experience. We had great weather, so the ferry ride was smooth and I felt safe throughout the journey, thanks. Upon arrival, the disembarkation process was efficient, allowing me to start my adventure on Tioman Island without any delays.
Bluewater Singapore's long history of operations is evident in their expertise and efficiency. They have clearly honed their services over the years to provide the best possible experience for their passengers. Yes, they may not always be the most cheerful bunch, but the Bluewater people know what they're doing. It's no wonder that Bluewater Singapore is the preferred choice for many when it comes to ferry services on the Malaysia east coast.
The Extra Mile
In addition to their excellent ferry services, Bluewater Singapore can, upon request, offer early boarding for passengers with infants, senior citizens and people with a disability. This helpful extra is surely appreciated by the ones granted his extra gesture.
Meanwhile, the Bluewater Singapore website provides all the necessary information, including ferry schedules, ticket prices and travel tips, making it easy to plan a trip. The online platform is intuitive and easy to navigate, ensuring a smooth booking process.
My Conclusion
Overall, my experience with Bluewater Singapore was way above average. The combination of reliable services, good customer care and the security of booking through a Singapore-based platform makes Bluewater Singapore the ideal choice for anyone planning a trip to Tioman Island. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a first-time visitor, Bluewater Singapore's services are designed to make your journey as stress-free as possible.
