….on peak travel periods between Upolu and Savaii, usually holidays, people sitting on the dirty cement floor is nothing major to the travelers, The priority is to get on the boat before the boat is full and the doors closed.
What that means is at least a 2-hour wait until the next trip is ready to take off.
Luckily, if the bigger boat, Lady Samoa is running, most of the time the crowded wait will all be cleared up.
Regular travelers between the two islands are no strangers to the routine. If you’re shipping your car with and you have confirmed bookings, you’re guaranteed travel sitting in the car or enjoying the fresh breeze on the upper deck.
Travel between the islands have come a long way since the smaller diesel engine boats.
Most of the time it is overloaded and the acrid fumes from the struggling engines can be a health issue with many of the travels sick from the smell.
Those are bygone days. We only have to fix this sitting of the dirty floor and we’re set to sail along in comfort.
