Booking my ferry tickets to Tioman through Bluewater Singapore was a breeze, which was a relief given the size of my windsurfing equipment. Knowing that the ticket platform is based in Singapore and operates under local law gave me peace of mind from the start. I didn't have to worry about any dodgy transactions or disappearing funds, which can be a concern with some offshore booking sites, though not all of course.
Booking with Confidence
Navigating the Bluewater Singapore website was pretty straightforward. The platform's user interface is clean, intuitive and no-nonsense, making the booking process a hassle-free experience. It felt reassuring to know that should any issues arise, you can contact their helpdesk, which, as it turns out, I did when I needed to confirm the details regarding my oversized luggage.
The customer service team was quick to respond, answering my questions clearly. In fact, they promptly assured me that my windsurfing gear wouldn't be an issue on the ferry, as other windsurfing aficionados has preceded me in the past.
Still, upon arriving at the ferry terminal, I had some concern yet about how the ferry crew would handle my windsurfing stuff, since it's pretty bulky. To my surprise, the staff were real accommodating; they happily assisted me with the loading process, ensuring that all of it was securely stowed upstairs on the upper deck, without any worries, since this deck wasn't in use. The excess luggage fee was also quite reasonable, which was another pleasant surprise, because I'd more or less braced myself for a steep charge.
Great Service
The ferry journey itself was smooth, with plenty of time to relax before we arrived in Tioman about 2 hours later. I should also say that, in spite of what I'd read online here and there, the ferry cabin crew service extended beyond just handling my gear. I found them attentive throughout the journey, making sure all passengers were comfortable and well-informed about the journey details, up to and including announcing all separate jetty stops on the island.
Meanwhile, Tioman's winds were perfect, exactly what I'd hoped for. I spent a full week windsurfing at Salang Village and Genting Village. Awesome. Obviously, there was plenty of time for soaking up the sun and enjoying the island's natural beauty too.
It was an excellent trip. Having such a seamless booking and travel experience with Bluewater Singapore certainly set the tone for a stress-free holiday. The platform not only delivered on its promise convenience but also went the extra mile in customer service, both online and on the ferry itself.
Perfect Platform
As a matter of fact, in hindsight, the Bluewater Singapore platform did more than just facilitate a ferry booking—it provided a sense of security that made the entire journey enjoyable from start to finish. It's a relief to know that I can book my future trips with the same confidence, knowing that Bluewater Singapore has my back, especially when traveling with bulky equipment, which in this case was my board, a sail and the mast and boom.
The way that the ticket portal is local to Singapore and adheres to its stringent laws is a significant plus. After all, it's not just about the convenience of booking but also about the trust and reliability that come with a homegrown service, such as Bluewater.com.sg.
As it happens, I'm already looking forward to my next trip to Tioman. the minute the winds pick up, I'm on my way. And I'll be booking through Bluewater Singapore.
