点评:My partner and I booked the Afternoon Tea on the Steam Train experience with Caledonian Travel, and unfortunately it was one of the most disappointing travel experiences we have had.
The steam train itself was lovely and the scenery was enjoyable. However, the catering side of the experience was extremely poor. We are both vegetarians and clearly stated our dietary requirements when making the booking, yet no vegetarian afternoon tea had been prepared for us.
Instead, the catering staff took food from the guests seated next to us and assembled a plate for us while we watched. Not only was this embarrassing and uncomfortable, but the portions were also very limited. We paid for the full afternoon tea experience and expected our dietary requirements to have been catered for in advance, not to be given food taken from another table.
To make matters worse, basic vegetarian food-handling practices were not followed, with vegetarian items placed alongside ham. This demonstrated a lack of care and understanding regarding dietary requirements.
When we raised our concerns afterwards, we were offered a complimentary steam train trip. As we had already experienced the train journey, this did not address the issue, which was the poor catering and embarrassment caused. We requested a 50% refund to reflect the substandard food service but received no response.
I would not recommend booking the Steam Train Afternoon Tea with Caledonian Travel.
翻译:我和我的伴侣通过Caledonian Travel预订了蒸汽火车下午茶体验,但很遗憾,这成了我们最令人失望的旅行体验之一。
蒸汽火车本身很漂亮,沿途风景也很宜人。然而,餐饮服务却糟糕透顶。我们都是素食主义者,预订时也明确说明了我们的饮食要求,但餐厅却没有为我们准备任何素食下午茶。
相反,餐饮人员直接从我们旁边的客人那里拿食物,在我们眼前拼凑成一盘。这不仅令人尴尬和不舒服,而且分量也少得可怜。我们支付的是完整的下午茶体验费用,理应提前满足我们的饮食需求,而不是吃从其他桌子拿来的食物。
更糟糕的是,他们连基本的素食食品处理规范都没有遵守,竟然把素食和火腿放在一起。这完全体现了他们对我们饮食需求的漠视和缺乏理解。
事后我们提出了这个问题,餐厅只提供了一次免费的蒸汽火车之旅。由于我们已经体验过火车之旅,所以这次的体验并没有解决问题,我们遇到的问题是餐饮服务差劲,令人尴尬。我们要求退还50%的费用以弥补糟糕的餐饮服务,但至今未收到任何回复。
我强烈建议不要预订喀里多尼亚旅行社的蒸汽火车下午茶。
