Shannon P.   -  Traveled, August 2024

I would have to share with them the bizarre experience we had on our boat of a single man and a single woman forced to stay in the same cabin until we emailed G Adventures to complain. We had no WIFI so that took two days. As a single woman traveler the refusal by Robinson to remedy this situation was absolutely unbelievable. We had a single female traveler willing to share her room and be refunded for the private room so that the gentleman would be in a room of his own. they refused to even discuss any solution. I was told it was none of my business. Everyone one the boat was disturbed by this situation and it could have easily been solved. the problem began in G Adventures reservations where a married couple with the same last name, booked at the same time and paid for at the same time were separated and put in with the two single travelers. they were immediately put together in one of the cabins where they should have been all along and the two single travelers were told they had to share as there were no more cabins. Even writing this I feel the dismay I did then. I never dreamed anything like this could happen. Unacceptable on oh so many levels and it was totally awkward for everyone on the boat until it was finally resolved.

There was misinformation in the original planning restating an extra day in Lima resulting in 2 extra days.
