Most Popular Frequently Asked Questions What is the Cruise Itinerary? How do I get to Puerto Princessa (Tubbataha Itineraries) and/or Mactan, Cebu (Visayas Itineraries)? Know Before You Go, Itineraries and many more other information can be found at http://dropbox.solitude-one.com Do we have WIFI? Is there internet? Can I get Mobile Data? Internet Access is available only via our Satellite Broadband (VSAT K-Band ). You may purchase variousdata packages in multiples of 50mb (please refer to Know-Before-You-Go document). Only Skype and VideoStreaming will be inaccessible but internet browsing, messaging and other popular social media are accessible. You can use your own device (WIFI) or provided desk top computers to access the internet. The Philippines do have prepaid sim cards and top-up credits which we will make available on board as a convenience for our guests. Usage is of course dependent on mobile telecommunication signal and you may find yourself more often without signal than with. We are not responsible for the lack of use or the lack of efficient connectivity. What do I need to pay (per person) on board that is not Included in the package? Your cruise package essentially excludes Equipment Rentals, Satellite Communications, EANitrox, Alcohol, Laundry Service, Marine Park Fees and Local Barangay (district administration) permits. Marine Park Fees and Local Barangay permits will be collected on check-in. You will pay the other incidental expenses at check-out. Only Mode of Payment is in Cash (PHP or USD). Dive Permits imposed by provincial authorities and/or local offices will be advised closer to the trip schedule to have the most updated figures. Permits are not payments to us but to the respective authorities. As such, only CASH payment is collected and can only be collected on board and no prepayment can be entertained. What Currency do we accept? Can I pay with Credit Card? Pesos is the Philippines' official local currency and CASH in USD or Euros are accepted. Credit Payment is done online with our online payment account with smoovpay.com (+3.5% Facilitation Fee). Do you have Nitrox? How much? We have decided to provide a EAN30% instead of EAN32% to allow a safer M.O.D. EAN30% would provide some degree of depth buffer when you are caught in a down current especially but will still allow ample extended length of bottom time (compared to normal Air).

Palau recently started 4G services. However, as most of the areas we are in will not have mobile signal, the use of a local sim card is very limited. Thus, we do not encourage our guests to buy a local sim call as the cost of the sim card and adding credits will be about 40USD already. Also, new regulation requires the user of the sim card register their particulars at time of purchase. As such, it is more economical to use our satellite phone. The cost is 3USD per block of 60secs or 2 USD per email/SMS (limited to 140chars each). - more at: http://www.solitude-one.com/index.php?know-before-you-go-palau
