点评:The cruise itself was decent — clean boat, polite staff, and light snacks were fine — but the booking process is a complete scam.
I called the official Mandovi Cruises number from their website, but was redirected to a third-party agent (named Simran, but the payment in Gpay was done to the name Goa Beach Water Sports). charged ₹500 per person, even for my 5 year-old child. After paying an advance, we met Pankaj Sharma at the dock to pay the balance. He was rude and dismissive, denied that other children were allowed free (even though we saw many were), and said he’d only adjust it if Simran approved. She then stopped answering calls.
Later, we found other families who paid much less — ₹300-₹400 per person, and their kids went free.
Mandovi Cruises should seriously fix this. It’s shocking that calls from the official number are routed to agents, who overcharge and vanish later.
The sunset cruises after 6 pm is not recommended. And everything mentioned in the pamphlet is not available. Only 1 floor with loud music and lights and another floor with snacks and drinks paid of course and top for view, nothing else. The cruise is okay, but the booking process is fraudulent and ruins the entire experience.
翻译:游轮本身还不错——船很干净,工作人员很有礼貌,小吃也不错——但预订过程完全是个骗局。
我从曼多维游轮官网拨打了他们的官方电话,但被转接到了第三方代理(名叫Simran,但Gpay付款的账户是Goa Beach Water Sports)。他们竟然每人收500卢比,连我5岁的孩子都收。预付了钱后,我们在码头遇到了潘卡吉·夏尔马,让他付余款。他态度粗鲁,不屑一顾,否认其他孩子可以免费(尽管我们看到很多孩子可以),并说只有Simran同意才会调整。然后她就不再接电话了。
后来,我们找到了其他支付费用低得多的家庭——每人300-400卢比,他们的孩子也免费。
曼多维游轮应该认真解决这个问题。令人震惊的是,官方号码打来的电话会被转接到代理那里,这些代理收费过高,之后就消失了。
不推荐下午6点以后的日落游轮。宣传册上提到的所有东西都无法使用。只有一层楼的音乐和灯光很吵,另一层楼提供小吃和饮料,当然是收费的,而且顶层还有美景,其他什么都没有。游轮还行,但预订流程很欺诈,毁了整个体验。
