My Personal Experiences With Some Businesses

 

Ones I plan on avoiding or being concerned in the future, and products:

Four Queens Casino Hotel - Las Vegas, NV (unanswered complaint to Walt Lobeck, General Manager)

       I did get a partial refund from World Vacations but never a letter of apology for the poor room

       (broken window, mold, leaky tub and no internet service as promised) and unresponsive service

Barcelo Premium - Ixtapa, Mexico - an unforgettably poor vacation

Celebrity Cruises

    Took a January 25, 2008 cruise on the Galaxy - the ship had obvious problems

    Found out that it had been sold so the apparently only maintenance being done was that absolutely necessary

    Take away: especially for older ships find out the status before booking a cruise

 

A product we wish we would not have purchased

            Wine Enthusiast Wine Bottle Chiller - it takes over two hours to cool a bottle of wine from 70 degrees to 46 degrees

            no model on the packaging but has settings for 33 different wines and is 34" when on stand
