Maritime experience on M/S 7107 Island Cruise Ship


M/S (Motor Ship) 7,107 Island Cruise is a local cruiser with domestic destinations for tourism. 7,107 is the estimated number of islands that comprises the holistic Philippine archipelago. On March 27, 2009 (9:30pm to 12:00mn)- This was the time she cruised around Manila Bay. Let me say this, that Mrs. Imelda R. Marcos was on-board to celebrate her July 2 birthday in advance. I am not sure if I said it here that she was my Baptismal Godmother. I will say more about her soon.

This cruise ship can take you from Manila to Subic to Palawan then to Boracay. Those are the destinations with different routes. I am unsure if the size is similar to MV Logos Hope but I am definitely sure that it is bigger than MV Doulos. What I have noticed in the ship was Greek words together with its english counterpart on the signs. This made me think that it was once a Greek ship before it became a Philippine ship. But one person from the crew told me that she was registered in Panama. Maybe, this ship had her debut trip on the 1960's. These are all assumptions not hardcore facts.

Curiosity has lingered among the young lads and I to explore around. It was an amazing experience to submit yourself into the Stygian mists of Manila bay with only the ship's lights on.

On April 2 to 8, me and my guardian maybe able to cruise out in the archipelago. Surely, It will be a experience which to me will not fade easily. A moving paradise has taken its course. I have seen the captain's crew navigating with coordinates and commands in their control room before take-off from the North harbor, pier 6.

I was also told that the prime minister of Papua New Guinea was in the boat, but it seemed to be a rumour. I never seen him or even heard from him.

During the sailing time, as the ship went toward SM-MOA, I saw a big dark cloud on the northern side of Manila. I confirmed it as fire. The only way to distinguish that dark cloud and the nocturnal darkness is that the clouds covered the lights on baywalk. I have spotted the Orion constellation on the highest public point on the ship. The view was fantastic, because you could embrace yourself with the darkness.
