We are in the process of making arrangements to visit Asia for a couple weeks over Christmas/New Years holiday.
Well, that is a popular time to travel. Especially for one of our destinations, Phuket. We are going to use that for a base for some diving. We are looking at a live aboard.
So we looked at all the boats and the available dates and email and asked for cabin.
We were told “Sorry, that boat is all booked for those dates.”
Oh.
Ok, so we went with our second choice.
Nope, all booked as well.
Booked? 2 months in advance? We clearly aren’t in Egypt anymore. You mean I can’t just show up and expect to be admitted? What kind of country runs like that? I mean, really.
So, we juggled our schedule and got a cabin on our desired boat, just different dates.
One reply on “Reservations? Ay da?”
I have always found it incredibly rude when hotels don’t save rooms at reasonable rates on the off-chance that i’ll call. The nerve!
