And a shady kind of handwritten bill was issued for this payment. While we were aware in advance that we have to pay this amount for the dinner, the whole experience related to it was poor. The other important issue that needs to be highlighted is while you are promised a dedicated vehicle for your stay at one place, your vehicle as well as driver changes for every trip, doesn't remain same even for 01 day at the same place. The trip coordinator at Port Blair was trying to serve more clients than vehicles available - as a result, we were left waiting twice for more than 45 minutes. One of the drivers, on being told that he was late, talked back loudly too. While drivers and vehicles changed at Havelock and Neil also, at least timings were maintained and the drivers were courteous. In terms of sightseeing/places to visit, cruise tickets etc, whatever was promised was met/delivered. I am giving 'Very Good' for the complete experience by keeping out the Christmas dinner experience and occasional mismanagement of transport. I must thank Mr Yugal Senani from Lazy Yatra for his excellent inputs and transparency in terms of cost while booking the trip. Thanks Yugal.
