点评:We did the Animal Tour Adventure Experience at SeaWorld yesterday, and overall it was an absolutely AMAZING experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our guide, Stephanie, was knowledgeable, professional, fun, and did such a wonderful job throughout the entire tour. The twin brothers who were animal trainers were AMAZING, and we absolutely loved the dolphin trainer AND the sea lion trainer as well!
Honestly, every single trainer and staff member we encountered throughout the experience was wonderful. They were knowledgeable, engaging, professional, and clearly passionate about the animals they work with. They made the experience incredibly special and memorable for our family.
Unfortunately, there was one very significant exception.
During our beluga encounter, there was a blonde woman who appeared to be a supervisor or person in charge of that area, and I honestly cannot believe the way she behaved.
She repeatedly yelled at and interrupted the male trainer who was conducting our encounter, including while he was actively speaking to our group and trying to provide the experience we had paid for. Her behavior wasn’t just a little rude or unpleasant — it was shockingly unprofessional and extremely uncomfortable to witness.
The gentleman conducting our beluga encounter was trying to do his job and interact with our group, and watching someone who appeared to be his superior speak to and treat him that way in front of guests was completely unacceptable.
If an employee needs to be corrected, coached, or spoken to about something, there is an appropriate time, place, and professional way to do that. Yelling at an employee, repeatedly interrupting him in front of guests, and undermining him while he is actively conducting an encounter is not it.
What made her behavior stand out even more was the enormous contrast between her and literally everyone else we encountered. Stephanie was fantastic. The twin trainers were fantastic. The dolphin trainer was fantastic. The sea lion trainer was fantastic. The gentleman conducting our beluga encounter was doing his best to give us a great experience. Every trainer we encountered was amazing. She was the only person whose behavior was negative, and unfortunately it was so inappropriate that it was impossible not to notice.
I sincerely hope SeaWorld management looks into what happened and speaks with this individual about professionalism and how employees should be treated, especially in front of guests. No employee should be spoken to or treated that way publicly, and guests shouldn’t be put in the uncomfortable position of witnessing it.
I don’t want this one person’s behavior to overshadow what was otherwise an incredible experience. The Animal Tour Adventure was amazing, and the guide and trainers deserve so much recognition for the experience they gave us. ❤️🐬🦭🐋
We would absolutely recommend the tour. I simply hope SeaWorld takes this particular incident seriously, because the rest of their team represented SeaWorld beautifully — and unfortunately, this one individual’s behavior did not.
翻译:昨天我们参加了海洋世界的“动物之旅冒险体验”,总体来说这是一次绝对令人惊叹的经历!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
我们的导游斯蒂芬妮知识渊博、专业又风趣,在整个游览过程中表现得非常出色。那两位担任动物训练师的双胞胎兄弟也超棒的,我们特别喜欢那位海豚训练师和海狮训练师!
说实话,在这次体验中遇到的每一位训练师和工作人员都十分优秀。他们知识渊博、风趣幽默且专业尽责,显然对自己所照顾的动物充满热情。他们让我们全家人拥有了一次极其特别且难忘的体验。
不过,有一个极为严重的例外情况。
在我们与白鲸互动的过程中,有一位金发女子,看起来像是该区域的主管或负责人。说实话,我实在无法理解她的所作所为。她不停地对负责带领我们体验活动的男训练员大喊大叫并打断他说话,即便他当时正在与我们这群人交流,试图为我们提供物有所值的体验。她的行为绝非只是有点无礼或不礼貌而已——而是极其不专业,看着实在让人如坐针毡。
那位负责带领我们与白鲸互动的男士一直在尽力履行自己的职责,努力与我们互动。看着一个看似是其上级的人在客人面前那样对他说话、对待他,这是完全不可接受的。
如果需要对员工进行纠正、指导或沟通,理应选择合适的时间、地点并以专业的方式来进行。在客人面前对员工大喊大叫、不断打断他,甚至在他正在接待客人时贬低他,这些行为都绝非 proper的做法。更让她的表现显得格格不入的是,她与我们遇到的所有人形成了极其鲜明的对比。斯蒂芬妮很棒,那两位驯兽师也很棒,海豚驯兽师同样出色,海狮驯兽师也是。那位带领我们参观白鲸展示区的先生也竭尽全力让我们获得美好的体验。我们遇到的每一位驯兽师都十分出色。只有她的表现是消极负面的。很不幸,这种行为极其不当,以至于根本无法忽视。
我真心希望海洋世界的管理层能调查此事,并与这名员工谈谈职业操守以及应当如何对待员工,尤其是在客人面前。绝不允许任何员工在公众场合遭到那样的对待,客人也不应被迫处于目睹这种场面的尴尬境地。我不希望这个人的行为掩盖了原本极其美妙的体验。这次“动物之旅冒险”真的棒极了,导游和训练师们为我们带来的体验值得极高的赞誉。❤️🐬🦭🐋
我们绝对会推荐这项旅游项目。我只希望海洋世界能严肃对待这一事件——因为他们的其他工作人员都很好地代表了海洋世界的形象;遗憾的是,这个人的行为却适得其反。
