Crystal Symphony made its port call to the City of Manila once more on February 25. She carried 502 passengers with 350 crew members onboard out of which 150 are Filipinos.
Captain Nenad Willheim and his shipboard management team welcomed Magsaysay representatives and Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) sea-based and land-based personnel. Crystal Symphony treated their guests with an exclusive ship tour. In return, guests’ eyes feasted on the luxurious and relaxing suites and guest rooms, dining halls, and wellness and entertainment facilities.
“We are grateful that Manila, Palawan, and Boracay are part of your itinerary, showcasing the Philippines’ stunning landscapes and the warmth of Filipino hospitality. Your trust in Magsaysay by employing Filipino seafarers means a great deal, providing them with meaningful careers while uplifting their families and communities. Captain Nenad Willheim, we truly appreciate your leadership and care for our crew,” Magsaysay Maritime Corporation President Arnold Javier expressed his appreciation to the Crystal Symphony management and team.
While doing the ship tour, the group was able to meet Filipino crew members–housekeepers, librarian, technological concierge, and waiters.
Crystal Symphony is expected to make its stop in Boracay, Aklan, and Puerto Princesa, Palawan before heading to Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.
Crystal Symphony is one of the many vessels that employ hundreds of Filipino seafarers, a testament that Filipinos are still the top preferred employees for world-class skills and unmatched hospitality.
