Transfer to ... Raggae Hill?
Grand Jamaica and Dunns River Falls Tour的点评
点评：We booked the "Transfer to Dunn's River Falls" through the Royal Caribbean excursions where the description stated the excursion would simply be a transfer to the falls. Water shoes were required, there would be food available to purchase if needed (not included), no mention of additional stops, etc along the way. We were shuffled out to their transfer vehicles - not a bus; only held approximately 20-ish individuals. It did not seem as if the driver knew that he would be driving us that day as people behind us loaded into vehicles and left before us. There was a tour guide who seemed to be an employee of this "Raggae Hill". The tour guide explained things like license plate colors and Jamaican money along the way to Dunn's River Falls. We were told that we were required to wear close-toed water shoes (not just water shoes) and have a waterproof container for our phones at the falls. We were also told that we did not have enough time to stop and purchase them, but they conveniently provided them at a short stop along the way to the falls. Each pair of shoes was 10$ and the waterproof cases were $10. We were also told that we could purchase food at Raggae Hill (our stop after going to the falls.... what?? I didn't know we were going to stop anywhere else for this excursion). The tour guide sent around multiple sign-up sheets as we "didn't have time" for stops along the way and we would not have enough time to order food individually at Raggae Hill. My husband and I decided to share a meal as we could only choose between two meals (an additional 5 options were crossed off the list); we decided on the Jerk Chicken meal option - for $15 (after purchasing the "required" close-toed water shoes we were running a bit low on cash). We made it to the parking lot of the Dunn's River Falls after approximately 1.5 hours of driving. We were told to leave everything on the bus besides cash, phones, wallets, etc. We followed our tour guide to the area where we were split into groups to be guided through the falls by a guide for climbing the falls and videographer. My husband and I noticed that people who were not with a tour group and had gotten there somehow by themselves were also corralled into a group with a guide. I like to think that my husband and I are in decent shape and had no difficulty climbing the falls; we were placed in a group with older individuals who did need assistance from the Falls tour guide as well as people who seemed to do well on their own, like us. We were encouraged to help each other out and climb the falls all together. The Falls tour guide and videographer did do a lot of things to make the climb fun, but I also feel as if we started in the middle of the climb and not at the bottom because we noticed groups of people already in the river below us climbing under what looked to be a bridge. My husband and I avoided most of the video footage as we knew we would not be spending the 40$ to have the video at the end of the tour; they seemed to coerce us to continue being in front of the camera. The climb was slow but also enjoyable and the water was not too cold. I feel as if I could have climbed the Falls over and over and over again. And honestly, that is what I wanted to do and thought that the day was going to be. Did I mention that I could have completed this tour in my Chacos? And there was no need for the cheap close-toed water shoes that the soles of the shoes fell out as I was walking up the Falls.
The tour guide for the Falls seemed to block the exit expecting tips for leading us through the climb. The videographer also specifically approached my husband and I asking if we would like the video footage, which we declined. We were then told that we "had" to walk through a market to get back to the shuttle, but that if we wanted to stop and eat at Raggae Hill, that we did not have time to actually shop in the market. We walked through the market with little issue and corralled back into the shuttle bus to head to Raggae Hill, which seemed to be farther than the drive to Dunn's River Falls and also very much in a shady area in the middle of nowhere. We were told to pay for our food and water shoes at this place. They also had a bar and a little shop that you could purchase items if you chose to. We seemed to spend more time at this place than we did at Dunn's River Falls. The Jerk Chicken meal that we purchased was a measly chicken drumstick and other small piece of meat with a mound of rice, small serving of coleslaw, one sugary plantain, and a deep fried roll of some sort; definitely not worth 15$. I specifically mentioned to my husband that I thought we needed to get back on the shuttle to make it back to the ship in time just as they did some cocktail demonstration with shots of rum and then the tour guides did a line dance for everyone (seemed to take a long time). We made it back on the shuttle and one of the other passengers asked the tour guide how long it would take to get back to the port - to which she replied 45 minutes. An hour and a half later we were still not back at the port. All passengers were quite worried about not being back on the boat in time. But, thankfully we made it - 20 minutes late.
I truly thought that I was just paying for a ride to climb the Dunn's River Falls for 2-3 hours. I am disappointed we could not just keep joining groups of people to climb all day. I felt as if everything we did had an additional cost when we already paid for the excursion. I feel as if we were nickeled and dimed for every little additional thing we did. It bothers me that tips are expected when I could not have just done everything myself; that I had to have someone leading me everywhere I went. And the Raggae Hill was not even something I wanted to do or thought I was getting myself into with booking a "Transfer to Dunn's River Falls". I have no interest in returning to Jamaica after this experience.

翻译：我们通过皇家加勒比短途旅行预订了“前往邓恩河瀑布的接送服务”，其描述称这次短途旅行只是前往瀑布的接送服务。需要穿水鞋，如果需要的话可以购买食物（不包括在内），沿途没有提到额外的停靠点等。我们被拖到了他们的接送车辆上——不是公共汽车；而是一辆公共汽车。只容纳了大约20人左右。司机似乎并不知道那天他会开车送我们，因为我们后面的人上车并在我们之前离开。有一个导游，好像是这个“Raggae Hill”的员工。导游在前往邓恩河瀑布的途中讲解了车牌颜色和牙买加货币等内容。我们被告知，我们被要求穿不露脚趾的水鞋（不仅仅是水鞋），并在瀑布时准备一个防水容器来存放手机。我们还被告知我们没有足够的时间停下来购买它们，但他们在前往瀑布的途中短暂停留时方便地提供了它们。每双鞋10美元，防水盒10美元。我们还被告知我们可以在 Raggae Hill 购买食物（我们去瀑布后的停留......什么？我不知道我们会在这次旅行的其他地方停留）。导游给我们发了多张报名表，因为我们“没有时间”沿途停靠，而且我们也没有足够的时间在 Raggae Hill 单独点餐。我和我丈夫决定共用一顿饭，因为我们只能在两顿饭之间选择（另外 5 种选择被从清单上划掉了）；我们决定选择烤鸡餐——价格为 15 美元（在购买了“必需的”露趾水鞋后，我们的现金有点少了）。经过大约1.5小时的车程，我们到达了邓恩河瀑布的停车场。我们被告知除了现金、手机、钱包等外，要把所有东西都留在车上。我们跟着导游到了那个区域，在那里我们被分成几组，在攀登瀑布的导游和摄像师的带领下穿过瀑布。我和我丈夫注意到，那些没有跟团的人，自己以某种方式到达那里的人，也被分成了一个有导游的团体。我喜欢认为我和丈夫的身体状况不错，攀登瀑布没有任何困难；我们被安排在一个团体中，其中有确实需要瀑布导游帮助的老年人，也有像我们这样自己似乎做得很好的人。我们被鼓励互相帮助并一起攀爬瀑布。瀑布导游和摄像师确实做了很多事情让攀登变得有趣，但我也觉得我们好像是从攀登的中间开始而不是从底部开始，因为我们注意到下面的河里已经有一群人在攀爬在看起来像是一座桥的地方。我和我丈夫避免了大部分视频片段，因为我们知道我们不会花 40 美元在旅行结束时观看视频；他们似乎强迫我们继续出现在镜头前。爬山的过程很慢，但也很愉快，而且水也不太冷。我觉得我可以一次又一次地爬上瀑布。老实说，这就是我想做的事情，并且认为这一天将会成为现实。我有没有提到我可以在我的查科斯完成这次旅行？而且不需要那种廉价的露趾水鞋，因为我在瀑布上行走时鞋底会掉下来。
瀑布的导游似乎堵住了出口，期待着引导我们攀登的提示。摄像师还专门找到我和我丈夫，询问我们是否想要这段视频，我们拒绝了。然后我们被告知，我们“必须”步行穿过市场才能返回班车，但如果我们想在 Raggae Hill 停下来吃饭，我们就没有时间在市场上实际购物。我们毫无问题地穿过市场，然后回到班车前往拉格山，那里似乎比开车去邓恩河瀑布更远，而且位于一个偏僻的阴凉区域。我们被告知要在这个地方支付食物和水鞋的费用。他们还有一个酒吧和一个小商店，如果您愿意的话，您可以在那里购买物品。我们在这个地方待的时间似乎比在邓恩河瀑布待的时间还要多。我们买的烤鸡餐是一小块鸡腿和其他小块肉，还有一堆米饭、一小份凉拌卷心菜、一个含糖的车前草和某种油炸卷。绝对不值15美元。我特别向我丈夫提到，我认为我们需要回到航天飞机上才能及时返回船上，就像他们用朗姆酒做了一些鸡尾酒演示一样，然后导游为每个人跳了一段排舞（似乎需要很长时间）。 我们乘班车返回，另一位乘客问导游需要多长时间才能回到港口，她回答说 45 分钟。一个半小时过去了，我们还没有回到港口。所有乘客都非常担心不能及时返回船上。但庆幸的是我们还是来了——晚了 20 分钟。
我真的以为我只是花钱搭车去攀登邓恩河瀑布 2-3 小时。我很失望我们不能继续和一群人一起攀爬一整天。当我们已经支付了旅行费用时，我觉得好像我们所做的一切都有额外的费用。我觉得我们所做的每一件额外的事情都让我们受到了小小损失。令我烦恼的是，当我不可能自己完成所有事情时，还要给小费；这让我很烦恼。无论我走到哪里都必须有人带领我。拉格山甚至不是我想要做的事情，或者我认为我预订了“前往邓恩河瀑布”的接送服务。这次经历之后我没有兴趣返回牙买加。
