点评:With MANCHE ÎLES Express we had booked the ferry from Jersey to Guernsey at 6.40 pm. When we arrived at the ferry terminal there was no-one at the desk!!! An information sign explained us that the crossing was cancelled due to bad weather conditions. But just at 2pm it was sunny with only light wind.
As there was no more crossing in the evening that day from Jersey to Guernsey, we had been left standing on the street in the night and with our luggage. We were therefore reliant on finding overnight accommodation at short notice and on a Saturday night. We had to pay taxi charges from ferry terminal to the hotel and back next day. And also the cost of the hotel in Guernsey, which we had already booked and where we were unable to go due to the cancellation.
Only the ferry ticket was refunded by Manche îles. Our remaining costs were all excluded from reimbursement.
A serious company has the obligation to inform their clients in time about cancellations. The message that Manche Îles had send we hadn’t got, because the internet connection on the islands doesn’t always work.
Our recommendation:
Manche Îles use small boats which can’t leave in slightly worse weather.
CONDOR ferry has larger ships that guarantee a crossing even in windy weather. CONDOR also pays a flat rate for hotel accommodation, should this be necessary.
翻译:我们通过芒什群岛快运公司预订了晚上 6:40 从泽西岛到根西岛的渡轮。当我们到达渡轮码头时,服务台上空无一人!!!信息牌告诉我们,由于天气恶劣,渡轮被取消。但就在下午 2 点,天气晴朗,只有微风。
由于当天晚上没有从泽西岛到根西岛的渡轮,我们和行李一起站在街上过夜。因此,我们只能在周六晚上临时找到过夜住宿。我们必须支付从渡轮码头到酒店和第二天返回的出租车费。还有根西岛酒店的费用,我们已经预订了,但由于取消,我们无法前往。
芒什群岛只退还了渡轮票。我们剩余的费用均不予报销。
一家严肃的公司有义务及时通知客户有关取消的信息。我们没有收到芒什群岛发来的信息,因为岛上的互联网连接并不总是有效。
我们的建议:
芒什群岛使用小船,在天气稍差的情况下无法离开。
CONDOR 渡轮有更大的船只,即使在刮风天气也能保证渡海。如果需要,CONDOR 还会支付固定费用的酒店住宿。
