点评:Buyer beware! I was extremely disappointed with my experience at Chic's Marina. On the day of our reservation, wildfire smoke from the Canadian wildfires caused air quality in the Lake George area to reach unhealthy levels. Our group included a baby under 1 years old, a toddler, and elderly grandparents, so going out on the lake simply was not a safe decision.
I did not ask for a refund. I only asked if we could move our reservation to any other available date, and I made it clear I was completely flexible. Despite the extraordinary circumstances, the marina refused to work with us in any way and kept our $300 deposit.
I understand businesses have cancellation policies, but exceptional circumstances call for reasonable customer service. I wasn't asking for my money back, only the opportunity to reschedule. Instead, we lost our $300 deposit for choosing our family's health and safety over spending a day on the water in hazardous air quality.
Based on how this situation was handled, I cannot recommend Chic's Marina. There are plenty of other marinas on Lake George that value customer relationships and are willing to work with customers when unforeseen events occur.
翻译:买家须知!我对在Chic's Marina的体验极为失望。预订当天,加拿大发生的野火产生的烟雾导致乔治湖地区的空气质量恶化到不健康的程度。我们一行人中有不到1岁的婴儿、学步期的幼儿以及年迈的祖父母,因此乘船出游显然不是一个安全的选择。
我并未要求退款,只是询问是否可以将预订日期改到其他有空位的日子。我明确表示自己完全可以灵活调整计划。然而,尽管情况特殊,那个游艇码头仍拒绝以任何方式与我们合作,还扣下了我们300美元的定金。
我明白企业都有相应的取消政策,但在特殊情况下理应提供合理的客户服务。我并没有要求退还定金,只是希望能重新安排行程而已。结果呢?因为我们把家人的健康与安全置于在空气质量恶劣的环境下享受水上活动之上,我们还是失去了那300美元的定金。从此次事件的处理方式来看,我不推荐Chic’s Marina。在乔治湖畔还有许多其他游艇码头,它们重视与顾客的关系,也能在意外情况发生时与顾客携手解决问题。
