Hello,
maybe i'm making a duplicate but i think my message has its place here
il hope my translation is correct :
We had planned a getaway for a few years on tubbataha, the trip of a lifetime for a european. Last year; on a snub stupidly the intermediaries, thinking of making some savings, and on a treaty directly with the boat mv dolphin / dolphinbaydivers.
A friend had cruise on this boat.
Very few exchanges with Jan the dive master, since he is on a cruise during the week.
So no answers possible during the week and the weekend, 3 words: yes, no, transfer here, ...
It is not very reassuring .... No contract sent. I guess this is the Filipino concept, I am "confident" because the the world of diving respects itself
In short,
I send 60% in October, by transfer to Tauber's account (the boss) ... a personal account? Okay
The Covid arrives; no news
I question them in March, and his return: boat at quay, no cruise.
of course ; so what?
So, postpone the cruise to next year, but ask for the remaining 40% of the cruise + 50% more for next year ....
50% for the boat that does not move with its staff and divemasters.
The cruise costs 1950 euros ; 50% I find it violent. … for two = 1950 euros more …
i'm teacher in a small school ,
Return yesterday : 40%, negotiation . And if I find that the cruise is too expensive I can make myself their hotel (the Dolphinbayresort) or consider another cruise.
I would love your feedback, a little more experienced. I made myself well scammed or it is the rule of the game in the world of diving ???
40% from 1950, which means that my cruise, if it takes place, next year, will cost me more 6000 euros (for two)
It does not make sense !
this cruise is offered by dive providers, so i guess they are serious. So i can't understand.
Now; I feel stupid, and stuck. Even if I endorse this 40% extra; I don't see myself on the boat next year to dive with a guy, who has just scammed me, at least that's my current feeling.
Your opinions are welcome.
