I checked 10 minutes later and got a communication saying that a mistake had been made and the trip had been cancelled. I recieved a refund and am still waiting for my friends refund. We had planned this for months and are extremely extremely disappointed. Had I not checked my e-mails we could have still been there waiting. This is as unprofessional as it gets and makes me doubt the integrity…”
