Review summary

Skipped two ports due to the Hurricane. Instead visited Quebec City twice. Charged me $59 for a simple walking tour. It should be free because we skipped 2 ports and skipped 2 included excursions

Why do you think the walking tour should've been free. Did you have a guide? The person should be paid for the service.

That’s the results of going during hurricane season. Not their fault.
