We had my daughter's 6th birthday party here and it was such a great experience. The package…read moreincluded two hours with the horses, where the kids got to pet and ride them, plus time in the petting zoo. They even provided a cake, which made things so much easier. The venue itself was really nice, and everything felt well organized. The staff was kind, helpful, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. Overall, it was a fun and memorable day for the kids. We'll definitely be back!

We decided to go horseback riding to celebrate my birthday. My children (10 & 12) have never been…read morehorseback riding before and, though nervous, were excited to experience it. I rode quite a bit many years ago. I had a service expectation in my mind for how things would go and unfortunately the team at this ranch did not deliver. On arrival, parking was not clearly marked (broken signs and no arrows to direct you). Once out of the car, there was no one to greet us or give next steps. We were told by visitors already waiting to step inside the barn to sign a waiver. Once inside, the staff member who wondered out of the dark handed the waiver to me and explained it. Yet she never said hello or introduced herself. It all felt very transactional or as if we weren't welcomed. I can only assume how many trail rides are provided in a day or week but the experience is still special to visitors. I would like to think they still remember this. My children were assigned horses (Cherokee and Widow) and given basic riding instructions from other staff members (they stated afterward the women providing them were not very warm). I was given a horse named Stitch that I did not enjoy or recommend to anyone who has never ridden before. He was headstrong and unfriendly. I can say: The 60 minute ride through the wooded trails was beautiful and very quiet. Our group totaled six so I guess I assumed there would be conversation from the trail lead but there was none. No water was provided or information about the land we were on. I was grateful for the instructor stopping before bigger hills to describe what was ahead and how to best handle it, it helped my kiddos, but I can't say as I would come to this place again. The horses looked thin and tired. Not to mention the barn bathroom was exactly what you'd expect: dusty dirty and rusty. Perhaps our expectations were too high? One big plus: the friendliness of my children's horses and the barn cats.

This was such an awesome experience! My daughter hasn't been feeling well and begged to see a…read morehorse. I called the number listed and we welcomed us to her stable. We were able to see several horse, sheep, and the kicker for us... a peacock! We'll definitely be back!

Never Judge a book by its cover! An old adage that is very true here. My girls all ride here and…read morehave for the last 5 or 6 years. There are many more stables that are ultra modern and much newer and better kept but, I will say this my girls love it here. Its almost as if they have all become family with everyone else here. Sandy is a good teacher and has help my girls develop their skills and she cares about the girls. She gives the girls the opportunity to learn everything from cleaning horse poop to Jumping in Shows. They've learned more than just riding and taking care of horses they are learning responsibility and camaraderie as well and with some good people. I've asked my girls several times if they would want to try a newer stable and I always get the same answer in dolby surround sound "NOOO!!" By the way YES that is my daughter Brianna in the pictures from last year.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Morning Dove. I partnered with them this past…read moreweekend for an event for kids with autism. Not only did they provide great staff to help with the riding of the horses, but they had crafts, a scavenger hunt and face painting ready to go when all of the families arrived. So accommodating! I had been in contact with the program director, Kate, for the past few months and she was always ready to answer questions and provide insight on what could be expected at Morning Dove. If you have a family that has a child with special needs, this is a great place to check out. They understand the difficulties families face and provide a way for your child (and the whole family) to have a memorable experience. The horses are tame and well taken care of - more than willing to give rides! Very, very pleased with this riding center. :-)

I have had issues with RCI with a cruise purchase and not sure if we will ever use them again! We…read morehave called many times about issues with our cruise and it keeps being pushed back. We bought a cruise back in December, after they changed their format and we thought we were getting a great deal, turns out to be a horror show. I was sent an e-mail that stated we were going to get an all-inclusive cruise with an On-Board Credit with a Infinite Veranda Balcony. First, afterwards we found out that the cabin we got had an obstructed view, but our salesman stated it was not on his ship map (this was minor to the next issue but found out later it is 40% obstructed). Second, I was talking to the cruise company (Celebrity) and found that not all of our gratuities were paid, we are missing our Dining and Stateroom gratuities. According to Celebrity, we have to talk to RCI about it. Lastly, when also talking to Celebrity, I found they have no record of an on-board credit. RCI has been called and a complaint has been made, but that was almost a month ago when that was made. But, I called and asked originally almost this 5-6 weeks ago. We were told that they need to refer to the QA Department and review the phones calls we made with our salesman, and that was during the first call. Second time we called they said it would be 10 working days, then the next call we were told 14 working days, and now it was been a lot longer and it is still being pushed off. We just got off the phone and they stated there is still no answer and they will call us back before the holiday weekend for an update. Our cruise is now within 3 months and we have been dealing with this for almost 2 months. So far we are looking at over a $10,000 cruise for all of use, with a lot of unanswered questions. We do not know if this will ever get resolved, but, if you are looking for a cruise, I think I would NOT use RCI!

Warning -- Misleading Vacation Booking Experience…read more I want to share my experience so others don't go through what I did. I was promised a discounted vacation, but important fees -- including cleaning and resort charges -- were not disclosed up front. These fees totaled between 2,000 and 3,000 and the final price I was charged was higher than the original quote. In fact, I found it cheaper to book directly through the cruise line's website than through the site I used. Every search I ran showed better prices when I booked elsewhere. The sales representatives were persuasive, but the information they gave turned out to be misleading. When I asked to cancel within the first 60 days, I was told I couldn't because I was already under contract. Attempts to stop automatic payments were also obstructed: my calls went to voicemail, and one number I was given later blocked my phone so I had to call from my husband's phone -- at which point they answered promptly. A customer service representative told me my cancellation had been processed but did not provide a confirmation number; I had to request one to verify the action. The product as presented was not what I received. Once enrolled, it felt very difficult to end the service. I'm sharing this to urge others to be cautious: read all terms carefully, ask for written fee disclosures and confirmation numbers, and compare prices with the provider directly before committing.
