[rocky]

^check mo na lang location sis sa google map, kung malapit sa senado square/grand lisboa ok lang kasi usually don ang punta mo

[presyosa ligaya]

hello sisses. please check naman IT namin for 17 June 2014 kung tama po base sa mga backread ko.

From Macau Ferry Terminal:

1.   Fisherman’s Wharf [walk (overpass), left side of ferry terminal]. Across the street are (a) Lotus Flower Statue; (b) Gran Prix Museum; and (c) Wine Museum. Closed ang (b) and (c) ng Tuesday kaya di namin makikita pero okay na din pa-picture sa mga entrance.

2.   Senado Square, St. Domingo Church and St. Paul Ruins
3.   Macau Museum [MOP15 adult; MOP8 child]
- Walk going back to Macau Ferry Terminal, ride on free shuttle bus going to Lisboa or free shuttle of other hotels (like Hotel Sintra etc.) that is near Senado Square.

4.   Galaxy Macau, Venetian Hotel and City of Dreams
- Walk back to Hotel Sintra for a free shuttle bus to City of Dreams. From City of Dreams walk to Venetian Hotel and Galaxy Macau.

5.   Macau Tower [HKD135 adult; HKD70 child]
- Walk back to City of Dreams for a free shuttle bus going to Macau Tower.

6.   Kun Iam Statue
- How to get here through free shuttle?

Around 8PM or 9PM balik kami ng Hong Kong. Kaya ba lahat puntahan mga to sisses. Saka kelangan ba namin papalit din ng MOP or puwede gamit HKD kasi parang the same lang exchange rates. TIA.

[SOFIEMAE]

^comment sa #4 pwede naman from COD to venetian and venetian to Galaxy sakay ka nalang ng free shuttle para hindi ka mapagod kaka walk mukhang may kasama ka pa namang bata... IMO lang sis

yes sis, no need to exchange MOP they accept HKD naman

[presyosa ligaya]

sis Sofiemae, so may mga free shuttle from COD, to Venetian then to Galaxy. Naku, salamat, akala ko puro walking distance gawa ng naprint ko na map. Meron nga kami kasama na 1 y.o. So kung huli namin ang Galaxy, meron din ba sila free shuttle to Macau Tower? Salamat sis.

[SOFIEMAE]

maybe other sis natin makakasagot... hindi ko napuntahan ang macau Tower, from my hotel tanaw na kasi kaya tinamad na kami pumunta... OO sis maraming free shuttle from hotel to another hotel sa macau, as in wala akong transportation expense... from ferry to my hotel (lisboa hotel) free... then from sintra to COD... sa Venetian dami nilang destinations ask ka nalang baka sa venetian may pa macau tower... daming pinoy dun na nagwowork na pwede mong pagtanungan... from venetian going to airport namin free lang din kaya pwedeng last mo na ang venetian or pwede ka nga pabalik balik hehe

[presyosa ligaya]

Salamat sis sofie

Hi Sis, wala ba extra charge sa ferry if we will bring all our luggage from HK? Macau kase exit namin to manila. thanks

[princess lorraine]

^ang alam ko sis may bayad pag ng exceed sa maximum weight yung luggages. Not sure lang kung ano yung maximum weight i forgot na eh. Nag exceed din kasi kami dati and we were asked to pay for that, 

[mommy23]

kayanin po ba from macau airoort derecho na hk 12am darating sa Macau airport

[rocky]

^sis, pahinga na lang muna kayo sa macau. for sure pagod kayo sa ilang oras na pagtambay sa airport before your flight

[purple orchid]

@ princess lorraine, hand carry nyo lang ba yung mga luggages nyo or may storage din sa ferry? thanks

[cindylulu]

^have you ridden the super cat ferry to Mindoro? parang ganun lang sis though much larger lang ang ferry ng turbo jet or cotai jet. You carry your luggage yourself (walang porter) and there is a storage area where you can put it similar sa mga hotel shuttle bus.

[purple orchid]

@ cindylulu, thanks for the reply sis. btw sisses saan hotel pwede sneak in? and up to how many pax? havent tried this kase, feeling anxious lang. thanks

[rocky]

^karamihan ng hotel sa macau ok lang sneak-in, wag lang garapal. yong tipong 2 lang mag-check in & yong iba wait lang sa lobby

[princess lorraine]

@ princess lorraine, hand carry nyo lang ba yung mga luggages nyo or may storage din sa ferry? thanks

^yung sa amin sis dati check in eh.

[cindylulu]

^hmm when we were there just this April yung sa amin sis they x-rayed the luggages only but they didn't require check-in. kami mismo nagbitbit ng luggages namin from the pre-departure area pababa sa pier then paakyat sa ferry like the others before us. pwedeng mag elevator pababa sa pier but mostly senior citizens ang nandun so we didn't bother na lang. we rode turbojet thru super class - sa 2nd floor ang seating na may meals. the steward directed us where to put our luggages na nasa tabi lang ng bar. Sa economy class naman sa baba meron din space dun allotted for luggages. 

[luscious_peach]

Mga sis daytrip lang kami sa Macau coming from Hong Kong. Kaya kaya puntahan ang mga ito? Can someone suggest ano uunahin namin after mag check in ng luggage sa The Venetian?

9:30pm ETA Macau
11:00pm Checkin Ole London Hotel
12:30am Wynn Hotel - Tree of Prosperity, Dragon of Fortune

Oct 10 Fri
We plan to start early para di namin maabutan ang maraming tao sa Senado square at makapagpicture pa nang maayos hehe. Or late na rin po yung 7am?

7:00am-4:00PM
Senado Square
Ruins of St Paul
Monte Fort
Macau Museum
Guia Fort & Lighthouse
Grand Prix Museum
Wine Museum
Fisherman's Wharf
Sands Cotai Central

5:00PM onwards

Kaya po ba to? Or masyado nakakapagod? Saan po kaya pwede isingit si Macau Tower and yung Michael Jackson gallery?

Oct 11, Sat
6:00AM Macau Ferry Terminal
--> Sorry, not sure if I missed this in the previous posts pero can we buy tickets the day before para di na kami pipila for the tickets and immigration na lang agad?
8:00AM HongKong

Oct 12, Sun
4:00PM Ferry back to Macau

We wanted to go back to Macau as early as 4pm kasi worried ako baka maraming tao sa immigration sa ferry terminal and malate kami ng dating sa Macau Airport. Is this ok, or too early? Flight namin to Manila is 10pm pa.


Thanks a lot po!

[cindylulu]

^yes your itinerary is feasible sis but it's like you're running a marathon. will you not sleep na once you arrive in Macau kasi you will go to Wynn pa at 1230am? 7am is fine if you want to go to senado square and take pics but the shops are still closed at this time. 4pm etd from hk to Macau is ok. better be early at the airport rather than be stressed of making it on time.
