Thanks to Cebu Pacific Air

Posted by Arelle V. White on December 28th, 2008

We (my family and friends) have been using Cebu Pacific for several years now. It was always Philippine Airlines then. Â We switched to Cebu Pacific because of the lower pricing, its fine even if they don’t serve snacks, the price difference was very significant specially that we travel in groups. Â

My friend Julie alone had 24 flights with Cebu Pacific this year, i only had about 20 ( 1 of which was via Pal Express Air from Caticlan to Manila). Most of those flights were bound to Boracay. We have probably taken more than 100 flights (counting those of my family this year).

Our most recent flights were already FREE courtesy of Cebu Pacific Air, we enjoyed flights to Boracay, Manila and Cebu this last quarter. During the early part of this Â year, the flights were always late, there was one time when they already had to serve us lunch because the plane was later for more then four (4) hours alread, but as time passed, by the end of the year as i write, our flights has been ON TIME. Â

I recommend you to sign up for their newsletter and announcements to take advantage of the latest promos.

Edge Coaster & Sky Walk Extreme Launch @ Crown Regency, Cebu

Posted by Arelle V. White on December 13th, 2008

It was a very exciting day at Cebu City last December 10, 2008 when Crown Regency Hotel and Towers launched the World’s First Edge Coaster and the Philippines’ First Sky Walk Extreme Sky Adventure.

I count it a privilege to witness this historical event, special to the Cebuanos and a great pride of the Filipinos. It’s not everyday that one can be in the midst of this kind of action… where you hear voices shouting in excitement while seated at the Edge Coaster Car tilted 55 degrees and going around the hotels edge at the 38th Floor (you will feel a bit scared at the thought of falling, EXCEPT that YOU WONT, coz you are SAFELY AND TIGHTLY FASTENED), and eyes looking forward to another moment of fun and adventure. I felt hungry after the ride haha…as if all the food i ate fell down the ground. One can feel high energies around the crowd as everyone taste, touch, see and feel what life has to offer when you visit Crown Regency Hotel’s Sky Experience Adventure Park.

I know that there are a lot more Cebu as to offer, but what I am sure for now, are 2 Things you MUST DO in CEBU!

1. Ride at the Edge Coaster- This is the World’s First! Enjoy it day time and night time, savor the sights 360″ around the 38th Floor of the TALLEST HOTEL TOWER in the PHILIPPINES- Crown Regency Hotel at Fuente Osmena Avenue! It is safe and really fun…I rode it twice already, my friend Janet rode 3 x, even my 65 year old Mom immensely enjoyed the night lights overlooking the entire Cebu as we rode the Edge Coaster together.

2. Take a walk at the Sky Walk Extreme - I was the 8th person on the very 1st BATCH, Ceremonial Walk! You get to wear a SkyWalk suit, get attached to a harness (similar to what are used during James Bond stunts filmings) and walk around the edge of the 37th floor, see through the glass flooring and look down the ground, or stand one feet floating on air if you wish and take home a souvenir CD with you in full Sky walking Gear, and maybe a shot of you on the Edge Coaster looking scared hehe…
