Hehehe...i have tried going via Batam center ferry terminal to Formosa twice (or was it thrice? cant really remember). I did some calculation of my own,the moment i step out of the ferry itself upon reaching Batam, to the moment i reach Formosa, it took more than an hour on a weekday and nearly 2 hours on a weekend (according to some of my friends, even longer sometime during a super long weekend),hehehe....i doubt you are going to like that kind of waiting.

As for Harbour Bay,the moment i step out of ferry at Harbor Bay ferry terminal to the moment i reach the same hotel mentioned, took me no more than 20mins on weekdays and about 30mins on weekend,hehehe...and that bothers me a bit. During CNY time,took me about 30 mins plus minus too.

And i havent count the time i return back from Batam to Singapore,hehehe...

I look at the whole picture from another perspective. If my ferry ticket to Batam via Harbor Bay and Batam Center is the SAME,be it going to Batam once a month,or 3 to 4 times a month which ferry terminal would i choose to drop myself off,hehehe...the answer is obvious.

Which is one of the true reason why i would pick Harbor Bay ferry terminal instead of Batam center ferry terminal to drop myself.

My choice.
