“CHECK IN” ON THE SEA
At 7:00 a.m. on March 8, we arrived at Cau Da port (Front Beach, Vung Tau City) to check in on Con Dao Express 36 high-speed craft to Con Dao Island. According to the announcement of the ticket agent, passengers must be present 30 to 45 minutes before the departure of the ferry, so Cau Da port is now quite crowded. At 7:15, the ferry issued a notice inviting passengers to check in on the ferry. The red-hull Express 36 and Cau Da port view became the “check in” address for many people before boarding the ferry. We also took a few photos as a memory and joined the flow of people to enter the ticket gate.
Because there are nearly ten of employees who are arranged to control tickets, assist passengers to put luggage on the ferry, guide passengers to sit the correct number of seats, so getting off the ferry is quite fast. The warming, enthusiastic and friendly smile of the welcoming staff made many people impressed. Ms. Mai Hoang Nga, a visitor from Hanoi, said: This is the first time I experience a craft ride to Con Dao Island. Nice ferry, comfortable seats. The passageway on the ferry is wide open. Service staff with a cheerful, polite and dedicated attitude ”.
At 8 o’clock, the ship left the dock and began its journey to Con Dao Island. When the ferry runs for nearly 10 minutes, the deck doors are open to allow passengers to enter and exit the scenery. The deck area of the ship is quite large, surrounded by an iron frame and a 2-layer arc-shaped steel railing to make the handrail secure and safe.The ship splits white foam, the flag of the Fatherland is fluttering on the roof, Big Mountain and the panorama of Front Beach fading away. The charming picture of the sea and sky appears, making everyone excited and taking advantage of “check in” to record beautiful moments with friends and relatives.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhien (Ward 2, Vung Tau City) said: Before, every time she went to Con Dao Island, from Vung Tau, she had to move to Ho Chi Minh City in order to fly, it is not only inconvenient, but also the ticket price is quite high and difficult to buy. And when there is high-speed craft, she has to experience it. “The sea this season is calm. Sitting on the deck watching boats pass by, breathing the sea breeze, feeling extremely refreshing and comfortable. Ferry departs on time, 4 hours later arrives Con Dao Island. The ferry runs smoothly, so I don’t get seasick. I will share this feeling with my friends for everyone to experience, ” Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhien said.
