I was most disappointed, embarressed and inconvenienced when i was advised i have to pay $20 for my carryon. I informed the staff i read the itenerrary and was entitled to a free carry on. She colleced the $20. My.other diaspointment was no wifi on bus. This being my first expeirence travelling on a bus. Further, i must compliment the driver from.tampa to.orlando it was perfect. However, the orlando experience was distasteful. The bus was late to embark without an apology, no wifi, driver was late as i missed my uber. We arrived at 4 am instead of 330 am. I believed the driver went passed the greyhound stop in FLL and he had to turn and find his way back arriving at 4 am
