“We call to ask if it was windy as we saw on weather website. They informed it was not windy so we booked for it today. It was windy, we ask for refund, they decline for refund. This is very bad customer service. If weather is not good they should refund money, and not ask customer to take chances in windy weather so they can make some more money”
