I suppose I will have to make sure that immigration doesn't mind if I stay, but maybe I'm a citizen there or have a visa that allows me to remain indefinitely. Would the cruise line take action against me when they find out I didn't reboard?

Mar 21, 2014 at 5:02 comment added SpaceDog Good point, I didn't think of the logistics of boarding at intermediate ports, although if I did it I'd be boarding / leaving at what I assume are major ports (Manila and either Hong Kong or Singapore).
Mar 20, 2014 at 14:06 comment added DavGin Interesting question. A point to consider is that ports of call along an itinerary often have limited facilities such as a simple pier. In comparison, ports from which cruises depart have all the required facilities to bring in "new" passengers : ticketing, check-in, alcohol check-in, luggage handling, customs/immigration, waiting room... There also is the compulsory ship evacuation drill done before departure.

Feb 28, 2014 at 0:59 comment added SpaceDog @gerrit Freighter travel is my other option, although it's difficult to find out stuff on-line originating from Manila. I could do old school and get friends of friends to find out. My issue is that this would be the first stage of a long journey but the time I'll have (due to work, money, etc) is limited and freighter travel seems to be slow. I don't really want to burn a week of my travel time on a ship just to get to the mainland. My other option is private boats, but I'm not really a boat-person so I'm not sure if they'd want to have me aboard.
