“It all started with the time I Booked for nile cruise on a private yacht with a 5 star food and entertainment experience for 6pm. Reached out to the operator because there was no pickup contact information and was told I would not get picked up until 7pm with the cruise now departing at 8pm. If I hadn't messaged the operator I would have never know what was happening. The food was at best a 2 star experience. If it wasn't for the entertainment this would have been a 1 star experience. The highlights was our driver. Don't pay the upgrade price because there is no upgrade but the fee…”
