"Total Waste"

March 2018

We were on a six day vacation and this day was totally wasted. There were no whales at all. They offered a rain check, but with only two days remaining, why waste a second day. They gave no advance notice that they had discontinued acceptance of American Express. No whales, no American Express, no food, no drinks, no picture, just a total ripoff and waste of time.

Tip: Don't waste your time and money. If you hear Star of Honolulu, run away fast!!!
