Bus ride was awesome but cruise was disappointing

They changed me to the nature cruise in the last minute. They sent a last minute email about it, but am I going to be checking my email diligently during my holiday? No! I wish that called me and given me an earlier heads up. I chose “ discover more “ for a reason. If they couldn’t give me the cruise that I wanted, and had given me an early heads up, I could’ve cancelled and done other activities.
