When I spoke with my doctor she said for me to not go on this small boat due to my pregnancy and medical history. I tried to cancel 12 hours before since that is when my doctor returned my call ( I know it’s a 24 hour policy) but I explained my emergency medical situation. First the company said no it’s safe… even though my doctor said no.. then they said they would refund it with a doctors note.…”
