点评:We recently went on the Discover Molokini trip with Trilogy. While the crew was excellent and the boat experience itself was enjoyable, the SNUBA upgrade left us feeling misled and disappointed.
When booking directly with Trilogy, we paid $90 for the SNUBA upgrade, which was presented as the full cost. Once onboard, however, we were told we had to pay an additional $60 per person if we wanted to continue SNUBA diving at the second site. This extra charge was never disclosed on the website, during booking, or in the confirmation emails. When I raised this with Trilogy afterward, their explanation was that the second dive is “optional” and that they don’t disclose it because “very few people” choose it. The reality is that on our trip, every single guest who SNUBA’d ended up paying the extra $60 when it was sprung on us mid-excursion.
In practice, the true cost of SNUBA with Trilogy is not $90 as advertised, but $150 per person after taxes and fees. To make matters worse, Trilogy tried to justify this by saying the second dive was actually offered at a “courtesy” rate — that instead of charging us the full $90 again, they were only charging $60. Framing it as if they were doing us a favor, when the extra fee was never disclosed in the first place, only reinforced the bait-and-switch feeling.
Trilogy may provide a fun outing, but guests deserve honesty about pricing before stepping on board. Unfortunately, our experience showed that Trilogy is not upfront about the real cost of SNUBA. If you’re considering it, be prepared — the actual cost will be $150 per person, whether or not they disclose it beforehand.
翻译:我们最近参加了Trilogy的“探索莫洛基尼”之旅。虽然船员们非常优秀,乘船体验本身也很愉快,但升级到SNUBA(无氧潜水)却让我们感到被误导和失望。
我们直接通过Trilogy预订,支付了90美元的SNUBA升级费用,这笔费用显示为全额。然而,登船后,我们被告知,如果想在第二个潜水点继续进行SNUBA潜水,每人必须额外支付60美元。这笔额外费用从未在网站、预订过程中或确认邮件中披露过。后来我向Trilogy提出这个问题,他们的解释是,第二次潜水是“可选的”,他们没有披露是因为“很少有人”会选择它。事实上,在我们这次旅行中,每一位体验过SNUBA的客人最终都支付了这笔额外的60美元,因为这项服务在行程中途突然出现。
实际上,Trilogy的SNUBA实际费用并非广告宣传的90美元,而是税费后每人150美元。更糟糕的是,Trilogy 试图辩解说,第二次潜水实际上是“礼遇”价格——他们没有再次向我们收取 90 美元的全额费用,而是只收 60 美元。他们把这说成是帮我们一个忙,而这笔额外费用从一开始就没有披露,这只会强化这种“诱饵换鱼”的感觉。
Trilogy 或许能提供一次有趣的体验,但客人在上船前应该得到诚实的价格信息。遗憾的是,我们的经验表明,Trilogy 并没有公开 SNUBA 的实际费用。如果你正在考虑,请做好准备——无论他们是否提前披露,实际费用都是每人 150 美元。
