Yea....Manila was pretty bad and not very efficient. Even thought the actual flying time to Bohol was fairly short, we spent way more time on the ground waiting to take off (over an hour) This on a good weather day.

The ferry, which much to my surprise, was really nice...and CHEAP.... 1000 pesos got us a (business class seat) on the upper deck area of a modern Cat.....seats WAY larger and more comfortable than the inter-island flying sardine cans, great air con and a movie screen. Service was on time....about 2 hours from Bohol to Cebu at 24 Knots. We were the ONLY ones up there too.
