Shepler's Mackinac Island Ferry的点评
点评:We used the ferry twice, to & from Mackinac Island, while staying at the Hampton Inn in St. Ignace. We were very pleased on both occasions.
The shuttle always picked us up from the hotel as scheduled; and all the drivers were friendly and accommodating. On our return each time, a shuttle immediately returned us to our lodging (since our 2nd trip included a overnight Island stay, we had to retrieve our luggage upon returning to St. Ignace; during which time the waiting shuttle departed with other patrons. Upon arriving at the departure point, one of the staff brought up another vehicle and took us back to our hotel, rather than having us wait for the other shuttle's return).
All the staff we encountered, on land and on the ferries, were helpful and attentive.
Departures were always on time, and the boats themselves were well-maintained (as were all of this operation's facilities), and a pleasure to ride.
The only negative we encountered, was that though we twice scheduled a Mighty Mac departure from St. Ignace, the weather/wind/waves negated that option from being able to occur both times.
Even though this operation is currently a "monopoly "; it is striving to provide its customers with a smooth, efficient and accommodating experience.
Note: on the trip to the Island, the crew offers a $2 guide to the passengers. If one is a 1st time visitor, the information within is useful/thorough/invaluable; and the booklet is probably the best bargain one is likely to find, on or off the the Island.
Also note: as is happening in more & more locations, there is an up-charge for using a card vs cash, when purchasing one's tickets.
翻译:我们入住圣伊格纳斯的汉普顿酒店期间,乘坐渡轮往返麦基诺岛两次。两次都非常满意。
渡轮总是准时从酒店接我们;所有司机都非常友好热情。每次返程时,都会有渡轮立即送我们回住处(由于第二次行程包括在岛上过夜,所以我们必须在返回圣伊格纳斯后取回行李;在此期间,等候的渡轮会载着其他乘客出发。到达出发点后,一位工作人员会调来另一辆车送我们回酒店,而不是让我们等待另一辆渡轮返回)。
我们在陆地和渡轮上遇到的所有工作人员都乐于助人,服务周到。
每次出发都准时,船只本身维护良好(这家公司的所有设施也都维护得很好),乘坐渡轮是一种享受。
我们遇到的唯一不愉快的事情是,虽然我们两次预定了从圣伊格纳斯出发的Mighty Mac游轮,但天气/风力/海浪都导致我们两次都无法成行。
尽管目前这项业务处于“垄断”状态,但它仍在努力为客户提供顺畅、高效和便捷的体验。
注意:在前往岛屿的途中,船员会为乘客提供2美元的指南。如果您是第一次来,指南中的信息将非常有用/详尽/非常宝贵;而且,无论在岛内还是岛外,这本小册子可能是您能找到的最划算的旅行指南。
另请注意:正如越来越多的地方所发生的那样,使用银行卡购票比使用现金购票需要支付额外费用。
