点评:How is Trip Advisor working with this sketchy company Tropical Reef Watersport? Our family of eight went to Puerto Rico especially to see the bioluminescent bay. We bought flights, car rentals, the ferry, lodging, and tour reservations. BUT only a couple of hours before the tour they curtly said it was canceled " due to scientific studies being conducted on the population and bioluminescence levels of the Bio Bay, the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources and the Puerto Rico Police will be carrying out special operations in the area. As a result, the bay will remain closed today and tomorrow, and unfortunately we will be required to cancel our scheduled tours and operations during this period. " NOT TRUE there were several other tour operators in the area, with long-standing reputations, hosting tours that night - and the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources had no such notices posted. WE CALLED THEM Although the company takes reservations by phone, they would not answer the phone when we called. WE EMAILED THEM they replied this exact message " The phone is not available we are closed we hsve semd a message today at 5pm we had to cancel due to DRNA from PR stop all operations for thid night " (sic). BUT they were not closed, they were open for business the very next morning and we have a photograph to prove this. WE ASKED FOR A REFUND and they never responded, so we had to report them to Trip Advisor to get our refund. Tropical Reef Watersport doesn’t care about people who sacrifice so much to take the tour.
翻译:TripAdvisor怎么会和这家可疑的Tropical Reef Watersport公司合作?我们一家八口专程去波多黎各就是为了看生物发光海湾。我们预订了机票、租车、轮渡、住宿和旅游行程。但是就在出发前几个小时,他们突然通知我们行程取消了。“因为要对生物发光海湾的生物数量和发光水平进行科学研究,自然与环境资源部和波多黎各警方将在该地区开展特别行动。因此,海湾今天和明天将继续关闭,很遗憾,我们不得不取消在此期间的所有行程和运营。” 这根本不是事实!当晚该地区还有其他几家信誉良好的旅行社也提供旅游服务——而且自然与环境资源部也没有张贴任何类似的通知。我们打电话过去,虽然这家公司接受电话预订,但我们打电话过去却无人接听。我们给他们发了邮件,他们回复了这样一条信息:“电话打不通,我们已关门。我们今天下午5点发了消息,由于波多黎各的DRNA要求当晚停止所有运营,我们不得不取消行程。”(原文如此)但他们根本没有关门,第二天早上就正常营业了,我们有照片为证。我们要求退款,但他们一直没有回复,所以我们只能向TripAdvisor投诉才拿到退款。Tropical Reef Watersport根本不在乎那些为了参加他们的旅行团而付出巨大努力的游客。
