点评:Majestic coach tour to Scarborough. 5 days 4 nights in Royal Hotel, Scarborough.
We were a party of 4 consisting of 2 married couples.
Both the coach travel and the hotel were quite poor. Queuing for food and getting seated at mealtimes was extremely difficult and stressful. We ended up eating out on several occasions despite the fact that we had already paid for Breakfast and dinner (as, indeed, did our driver!).
I've never before stayed in a hotel who cannot supply either extra pillows or clean towels. The coach breakdown which caused us to spend 12 hours travelling to the hotel on the first day was awful and was made worse by the fact that the replacement coach was smaller and the seats which our friends had (seats 23 and 24) no longer existed on the replacement coach but were replaced by a sink! So our friends were moved to the rear of the coach which meant our conversations were carried out via our phones.
Our driver was very friendly but not helpful and there was very little information given to us. We were going to travel by steam train on the 'Yorkshire Moors' excursion but he was unable to find the correct starting point for the train and we travelled direct to Whitby. It seems it was possible to catch the train from Whitby and be picked up at another station - but he never shared this info unless specifically asked.
We hoped to visit the York Steam Museum but, by the time we managed to find out where the connecting road train departed from, it was too late to ensure we returned to the coach in time.
Overall a bit of a disaster for not only us but most of the other travelers which we spoke to.
翻译:盛大的巴士之旅前往斯卡伯勒。在斯卡伯勒的皇家酒店入住5天4夜。
我们一行4人,由两对夫妻组成。
巴士服务与酒店条件都相当糟糕。用餐时必须排队,找到座位也极其困难且令人焦虑。尽管我们已经支付了早餐和晚餐的费用(我们的司机也是如此!),但我们还是多次选择外出就餐。我以前从未住过一家既提供不了额外枕头也给不了干净毛巾的酒店。第一天,由于旅游巴士故障,我们花了12个小时才抵达酒店,情况糟糕至极;更糟糕的是,后来换用的巴士尺寸更小,我们朋友原先坐的座位(23号和24号)在新巴士上也不见了,取而代之的是一个洗手池!于是,我们的朋友被安排到车厢后部,这意味着我们只能通过电话来交谈。
我们的司机非常友善,但帮不上什么忙,给我们提供的信息也少之又少。我们原本计划乘坐蒸汽火车前往“约克郡荒原”游览,但他怎么也找不到火车的正确出发点,结果我们直接前往了惠特比。似乎可以从惠特比搭乘火车,然后在另一个车站有人接应——但他除非被特意询问,否则从不透露这一信息。
我们原本希望参观约克蒸汽博物馆,但等我们好不容易查到接驳小火车的出发地点时,已经来不及确保能及时赶回大巴车那里了。
总的来说,这次旅行对我们以及我们交谈过的其他大多数旅行者而言都算是一场灾难。
