I was told that they have a bookstore on board and some books are on sale.
I invited Sam and Jon to visit the ship with me yesterday morning.
MV Doulos was at the Manila Pier and the taxi could only go as far as the gates. We had to walk a good distance to get to the ship. There is a cheap entrance fee to be able to get onboard. Being a Saturday, lots of people have also decided to visit the ship ... so it was already crowded inside. Going up the ship:
Only one floor of the ship is open to visitors, and it is the same floor where the bookstore is. Browsed around and there isn't much to select from. There are the reference books like dictionaries and travel guides, magazines, children's books, and spiritual books. On the books for sale bins, there are some novels, but nothing I fancied getting in line for to buy ... there were many people at the cashier.
If I was looking for a good book deal, going there was a disappointment.
We decided to just take pictures so as not to waste the entrance fee we paid.
