Boracay Island welcomes its second visiting cruise ship for this month and the fourth for this year, carrying 2,700 guests and crew on Tuesday, Nov. 7. The MS Westerdam cruise ship of the Holland America Line came four days after the MV Norwegian Jewel of the Norwegian Cruise Line and docked on the island with 1,600 guests. “The arrival is considered an excursion since they only stay for a few hours. But this would add to our marketing, hoping they would come back after their experience in Boracay,” Malay tourism officer Felix Gregorio Delos Santos said in a phone interview.
