The passenger ferry arrives in central San Miguel, while cruise ships use different piers along the west coast. They are not interchangeable. Save the exact pier, terminal, hotel, or meeting point before leaving Wi-Fi, and share it with every traveler in the group.
Cruise passengers should follow the ship’s published time and all-aboard instructions rather than assuming a phone will update correctly. Ferry schedules can change with operator, season, and weather, so check the current official timetable close to travel and avoid making the last practical crossing your only plan.
Work backward from the required return, subtract a generous travel buffer, and only then decide what fits. A single reef trip, beach club, San Miguel walk, or private drive can make an excellent port day. A remote stop, long lunch, and extra shopping loop are poor additions when they remove the margin that keeps the day calm.
