2/10 Poor

On the shuttle to the airport, the other guests' luggates were thrown out of the card behind the shuttle. The shuttles themselves didn't come on time and in cases were cancelled without any announce as such, leaving the guests waiting unadvised for 45-50 minutes, when the shuttle had been originally advised to depart every 30 minutes 24/7.
