I recently booked a vacation and was charged above the quoted price. Customer service staff refused to refund me the difference owed. I would not recommend booking with this company.

First class service all the way... attention was paid to every detail.

I chose to book a vacation for $1300 with trip central, I provided them with my credit card information and the payment promptly. Two weeks later I received a credit card alert from my bank that trip central had charged my card and an additional $3298. I called my travel agent and she said she had accidentally used my credit card information to book a trip for another client because my info was saved on her computer. She said the matter would be sorted in 30 minutes and she'd call to give me an update. An entire day goes by and I received no follow up. I emailed the next day and she called me and said not to worry the charge won't' go through because she entered my CVV code wrong. The next day the charge went through. I emailed and received no response. I called to speak to another agent about the matter he said to email the customer service department. I emailed Thursday, sent a follow-up Friday and still received no response. I ended up calling customer service, after a 15-minute argument they agreed to give me $50 credit towards my NEXT trip. I will NEVER book with this company again. They are careless towards the security of client credit card information. This is completely unacceptable. This charge went over my credit limit freezing my account and blocking additional preauthorized payments to go through. I also have overcharges from the bank and late payments. I am astonished that they think $50 credit towards my next booking is an acceptable apology. They are ridiculous to think I would ever trust this company again.

Please do not book with tripcentral. They are bunch of thieves that will take your money and show zero accountability towards customers. We booked for our Xmas Cuba vacation in May. We put a $1000 deposit down for family of 4 and we were supposed to pay the rest on Nov 6th, 2017. The hotel we reserved was Warwick in Cayo Santa Maria in Cuba. The travel agent booked us with Hola Sun. Then Hurricane Irma hit Cayo Santa Maria in September and our resort was hit really really badly! Guess what it's November 4th and the resort we booked for, is closed without any definite re-opening date!!! In September we contacted Trip Central and let them know we are uncomfortable going to a resort that has been hit this bad by hurricane. They said if we want to change we should pay a penalty. We said fine, let's book something else. They said since you were booked with Hola Sun, you have to stay with them, we said fine. They couldn't give us anything comparable in terms of price and star rating. They wanted more money plus a penalty of $200 for changing our resort. We said we can't afford to go any higher than anticipated, then give us a voucher for our deposit amount so we can use in the future, they said they can't do that. They just wouldn't work with us in any shape or way possible!!! They called us on Nov 3rd saying we have to pay the balance but the hotel is still closed. Yes that's right, the hotel is NOT functional at this time and they are "hoping" they will resume by Nov 15. I said OK then call us back on November 15 when the hotel is up and running and we will pay the balance. They said nope! You have to pay now or your deposit is gone. I argued how can we pay for something that is still closed. Why can't you charge us when the hotel is open. At least give us an assurance that the hotel will be open. They couldn't give us any assurance. All they wanted was our money. We regrettably passed on our deposit because we just couldn't pay another $5k remaining for a place that still being repaired. This vacation would have been our 20th anniversary for my husband and I who actually got engaged in Cuba. We were taking our kids there to celebrate this occasion and we saved for a long time to make this happen. We are truly disappointed at trip central and Hola sun.

Tripcentral.ca lacks accountability and takes zero responsibility for any issues that may arise after booking through them. They like to side-step the issues and play the blame game. Once they have your money, they feel no obligation to ensure customer satisfaction. This is true even in cases when something occurs that is not the fault of the traveler whatsoever. My friend and I were overbooked and tripcentral did nothing to fight for us against the tour operator to get us options that were fair and reasonable. Instead, they hid behind the general message of, "we are just the middleman", and proceeded to actually yell at us, speak condescendingly towards us, and even place us on hold mid-sentence when all we were trying to do was resolve an issue that was caused as a result of the incompetence of both tripcentral and the tour operator. The options they presented to us after overbooking us and not notifying us until weeks later were: 1) relocate to a resort of their choosing (and receive a complimentary stay at the original resort in the future minus flight costs) *** but the resort of their choosing was nonnegotiable, which made no sense since the free accommodation was offered to us by the original resort we had booked as compensation for inconveniencing us. So we should have been able to book another resort of OUR choosing (and pay the difference in costs) AND get the 7 nights stay, but trip central and the tour operator refused to budge and insisted that if we want the 7 nights stay offered by the resort, we had to go to the other resort they had chosen for us. Complete BS! We researched the other resort and realized it was isolated, newly opened (meaning lots of operational issues are to be expected), the beach has TONS of seaweed, and it is filled with seniors. Not our scene at all! 2) rebook another trip at today's rates (not rates backdated to original booking date - which resulted in costs of more than $150 per person for resorts we wanted) 3) full refund They screwed up and we had to pay the price. Neither tripcentral nor the tour operator lost a single thing. We lost our money for a few weeks, we lost ample time which resulted in other resorts getting booked up, and we lost more time trying to get them to amend option 1 to be fair and reasonable. But to no avail. Thieves. Con artists. I'm not sure why they even exist since everyone can book directly through tour operators and pay the same, if not less. Tripcentral appears to be nothing more than an added step through which they gain a commission and offer you - the patron - absolutely nothing. Never again. No accountability, no respect, no follow-up, and no fight to protect their customer's loyalty. I asked 3 different individuals to call me by today, and no one has. What a surprise! This post is just the beginning, tripcentral. The media world is going to be hearing about this nonsense until someone publishes the story and gives you the attention you truly deserve. Do yourselves a favor: do not book with tripcentral. Terrible, terrible service.

We have been loyal clients for 3 years - until now. The true mettle of a company emerges when the trip goes wrong. This is when you learn that the company did not confirm the itinerary they gladly sold you. Of course, you learn this once you are in a foreign country and are at the mercy of the local travel reps who are not accustomed to acting with a sense of urgency and delivering high customer satisfaction. Reps simply threw up their hands and blamed one another for the mix up. Trip central failed to deliver customer service. They did not return phone calls when we were unable to get a room at the hotel at which we were 'booked'. And the president of the company has not responded to follow-up mail.

I'm extremely disappointed with Trip Central for the following reasons. 1. They are suppose to help and advise with your choice of resorts but not once did they comment on the disaster that Club Karey Varedaro Cuba is. They claim they have been to all their advertised resorts but then don't warn clients of potential problems. 2. The pictures and reviews of Club Karey on Trip Centrals' website are totally misleading. The place is unhealthy and a disgrace and should be removed from their site. 3. I received no help from our Sunwing representative when on the second day of our stay I asked them to contact Trip Central and to assist in changing hotels. The answer was pay $1,500.00 each to change. 4. On our return from 14 days of disaster and a complaint to Trip Central their response was... "I did not recommend this resort" That's all the communication we received from them. 5. It would appear that Trip Central is only concerned about getting your money and once they have it your just another notch in their gun belt. 6. No apologies. No form of compensation. NOTHING from Trip Central

Solar eclipse maps show 2024 totality path, peak times and how much of the eclipse people could see across the U.S.

By Aliza Chasan

Updated on: April 9, 2024 / 5:00 AM EDT / CBS News

A total solar eclipse  crossed North America Monday with parts of 15 U.S. states within the path of totality. Maps show  where and when astronomy fans could see the big event  as skies darkened in the middle of the day Monday, April 8.

The total eclipse first appeared along Mexico's Pacific Coast at around 11:07 a.m. PDT, then traveled across a swath of the U.S., from Texas to Maine, and into Canada.

About 31.6 million people live in the path of totality , the area where the moon fully blocked out the sun , according to NASA. The path ranged between 108 and 122 miles wide. An additional 150 million people live within 200 miles of the path of totality.

Solar eclipse path of totality map for 2024

The total solar eclipse started over the Pacific Ocean, and the first location in continental North America that experienced totality was Mexico's Pacific Coast, around 11:07 a.m. PDT, according to NASA. From there, the path continued into Texas, crossing more than a dozen states before the eclipse enters Canada in southern Ontario. The eclipse exited continental North America at around 5:16 p.m. NDT from Newfoundland, Canada.

The path of totality included portions of the following states:

• Pennsylvania
• New Hampshire

Small parts of Tennessee and Michigan also experienced the total solar eclipse.

Several major cities across the U.S. were included in the eclipse's path of totality, while many others saw a partial eclipse. These were some of the best major cities for eclipse viewing — though the weather was a factor :

• San Antonio, Texas (partially under the path)
• Austin, Texas
• Waco, Texas
• Dallas, Texas
• Little Rock, Arkansas
• Indianapolis, Indiana
• Dayton, Ohio
• Cleveland, Ohio
• Buffalo, New York
• Rochester, New York
• Syracuse, New York
• Burlington, Vermont

Map of when the solar eclipse reached totality across its path

The eclipse began in the U.S. as a partial eclipse beginning at 12:06 p.m. CDT near Eagle Pass, Texas, before progressing to totality by about 1:27 p.m. CDT and then moving along its path to the northeast over the following few hours.

NASA shared times for several cities in the path of totality across the U.S. People could have also  checked their ZIP code on NASA's map  to see when the eclipse was to reach them if they were on, or near, the path of totality — or if they saw a partial eclipse instead.

How much of the eclipse did people see if they live outside the totality path?

While the April 8 eclipse covered a wide swath of the U.S., outside the path of totality observers may have spotted a partial eclipse, where the moon covers some, but not all, of the sun, according to NASA. The closer they were to the path of totality, the larger the portion of the sun that was hidden.

NASA allowed viewers to input a ZIP code and see how much of the sun was to be covered in their locations.

Could there be cloud cover be during the solar eclipse?

Some areas along the path of totality had a higher likelihood of cloud cover that could interfere with viewing the eclipse. Here is a map showing the historical trends in cloud cover this time of year. 

You could have checked the latest forecast for your location with our partners at The Weather Channel .

Where did the solar eclipse reach totality for the longest?

Eclipse viewers near Torreón, Mexico, got to experience totality for the longest. Totality there lasted 4 minutes, 28 seconds, according to NASA. 

Most places along the centerline of the path of totality saw a totality duration of between 3.5 and 4 minutes, according to NASA. Some places in the U.S. came close to the maximum; Kerrville, Texas, had a totality duration of 4 minutes, 24 seconds.

What is the path of totality for the 2044 solar eclipse?

The next total solar eclipse that will be visible from the contiguous U.S. will be on Aug. 23, 2044.

Astronomy fans in the U.S. will have far fewer opportunities to see the 2044 eclipse they had on April 8. NASA has not yet made maps available for the 2044 eclipse but, according to The Planetary Society , the path of totality will only touch three states.

The 2024 eclipse will start in Greenland, pass over Canada and end as the sun sets in Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota, according to the Planetary Society.
