Kiwi travellers on a Greek boat whose pipes leaked raw sewage are receiving refunds from the company after complaining on social media.
In posts to the Facebook group Kiwis in London, passengers on a seven-day "Yolo" cruise of the Greek Islands, run by the company Sail in Greece, complained of "wet, smelly" rooms and a "rude" tour manager who didn't stick to the paid-for itinerary. "Do not book with this company," wrote Facebook user Kingsley Hill.
Among a long list of complaints, Mr Hill said sewage was coming from the ceiling and pouring into the hallway. People on the top levels of the boat, which the posts said took 35 passengers, were told they could not use the bathrooms or the boat would flood.
"Rooms are soaked and the hallway smells and is wet."
Another passenger said the cruise's tour manager, a man named George, was rude and unhelpful."George was extremely unorganised, rude, dishonest and displayed the poorest of communication I've ever seen. "He would come up with a plan off the cuff that didn't reflect his actions, which understandably pissed people off as there was no consistency when we had all paid to come on a fun holiday."
