“Hello. I booked a boat trip to Potsdam for October 27th at 10:30 AM and paid 36 euros. I arrived at Potsdam from Berlin, but learned that the trip had been canceled due to technical reasons. This is not correct. You should have notified me of the cancellation in advance. How can I trust you? I want an immediate refund of the 36 euros I paid. Atilla Levent Tuna Res. No. GYG2Q9Y34MWX”
