点评:We booked all our holiday activities through Mason’s Travel. Unfortunately, bad weather caused the cancellation of all our other reservations except for the hotel transfers.
On the positive side, the hotel transfers worked well and the service was professional. When we arrived in the Seychelles, we were assigned a contact person we could reach if needed, which suited us perfectly.
We also briefly visited the catamaran used during Island Duo cruise, and it appeared to be of very high quality, with a friendly crew.
Money refunds arrived quickly.
Bad:
Unfortunately, weather conditions caused the cancellation of both Thursday’s Island Duo trip and Friday’s Reef Safari. On Thursday we did sail about halfway on the catamaran, until the captain decided to turn back due to difficult conditions. The situation felt strange, as it had taken quite a long time before the decision was made.
The next morning, before departing for Reef Safari, we were informed that this trip was also cancelled. We understand the above‑mentioned cancellations being attributed to weather conditions.
A replacement trip for Thursday’s Island Duo was offered for Saturday, and we accepted it. However, Mason’s Travel decided to cancel this trip already early on Friday, again citing poor weather conditions. We tried to ask our contact person why the cancellation was based on weather when there was no information available about the upcoming conditions at that time. At this point communication broke down, and we received only a simple copy‑paste message about weather conditions.
The next day we woke up to one of the most beautiful and least windy days of our entire holiday. By this point we were extremely disappointed with the premature cancellation. We also tried to ask our contact person about alternative activities to replace the cancelled ones, but we did not receive any response.
I have added picture of the saturday morning. At that beautiful time, we would have been sailing to Praslin, without the cancellation.
翻译:我们通过Mason’s Travel预订了度假期间的所有活动。可惜的是,恶劣的天气导致除酒店接送服务外,其他所有预订都不得不取消。
不过,酒店接送服务进行得相当顺利,工作人员也很专业。抵达塞舌尔后,我们被分配了一位联络人,以便在需要时能随时联系到,这一点正合我们心意。
我们还简短地参观了“Island Duo”游轮所使用的双体船,那艘船的品质看起来非常高。工作人员非常友善。退款也很快到账。
不佳之处:
遗憾的是,恶劣的天气导致原定于周四的“岛屿二人行”之旅以及周五的“珊瑚礁探险”之旅均被迫取消。周四时,我们乘坐双体船航行了约一半的路程,之后船长因条件恶劣决定返航。整个过程有些反常,因为做出这个决定花了相当长的时间。
次日清晨,在准备出发进行“珊瑚礁探险”之旅前,我们得知该行程同样也被取消了。我们了解到,上述行程的取消是由于天气状况所致。
原定周四进行的“岛屿双人游”行程被安排到周六,我们也接受了这一替换方案。然而,Mason’s Travel在周五清晨便决定取消该行程,理由依然是恶劣的天气。我们试图询问对接人:既然当时并无任何关于未来天气的预测信息,为何仍以天气为由取消行程?此后,双方的沟通便中断了。我们只收到了一条关于天气状况的简单复制粘贴消息。
第二天醒来后,我们迎来了整个假期中最为晴朗且风最小的日子。此时,我们对行程被过早取消感到极其失望。我们还试图向联络人询问能否安排其他活动来替代那些被取消的项目,但始终没有收到任何回复。
我附上了周六早晨的照片。在那个美好的时刻,我们本应乘船前往普拉兰岛。无需取消。
