Sundance Vacations Scam – You Really Think You Won?

So I just got a call from sundance vacations and I was very skeptic when I was talking to the sales rep.  She was so passionate about how I won a prize.  She dropped names or landmarks around there saying I entered the sweepstakes there and blah blah…

She was so quick to answer questions on my skepticism but when I started asking more questions about the company she started to fumble.  It was so hard to get the website domain name out of her.  I asked her for the address so I can look up the place online and she told me that she cannot tell me what it is till I book the reservation.

So Bottom line I got the domain name of Sundancevacations.com and started my research online.

The best thing to do when searching for scams is type the domain name and then scam and see what pops up.

So I typed in sundancevacations.com scam.

The message boards start piling up with negative postings.  Everyone is complaining about this vacation scam with all these high pressure sales tactics.  I am not saying it is a scam but I will not waste my time.  I think the biggest objective was am I really going to get this vacation at the end.  I did not read on one board that a person actually got a vacation in the end.

Here are some links to forums with people talking about sundance vacations is probably not the nicest way.

So if a free vacation is to good to be true or something sounds to good to be true.  Then it probably is.  Please post your comments!

    Melissa you attended a sales presentation during your orientation. You know full well the soft sell that is presented.

    It just floors me that the internet being an anonymous place people find they need to spout off about a company they clearly have no first hand knowledge of. You got a call and read other peoples comments who also never attended a meeting. You really think this makes you knowledgeable enough to do a write up. People go on these cruises all the time and are very happy with their vacation. Of course you all assume this isn’t true because nobody ever writes up their experience on these negative sites. It is probably because they ddidn’t have a negative experience and aren’t looking for scam or negative comment sites to write about it on.

    The internet really needs to be cleaned up and people who defame companies need to be held accountable for it.

    I went on the Sundance vacation. It was a beautiful cruise to Nassau, Bahamas on board the Norwegian Sky ship. I believe it was a 3 night stay. We chose not to do a room upgrade, this was not required. Flight was included, however because we were flying from different states, one of the flights was not used. We had to stay in a hotel the evening we arrived. There was cab fare due to the fact that the airport we arrived at was not by the port. There were taxes and port fees to be paid. The vacation was certainly not “free” but was extremely discounted. So you attend a sales pitch, no one said it was required for you to purchase anything extra to go. You just pay the port fees and taxes and that’s pretty much all that you need to pay for. The food was included on the ship. Pop and alcohol and fancy restaurants are extra and not included in your package, unless there is some option in which you pay to upgrade, but I believe they just charge you per item. They stop 2 times, once in nassau, the other island we could not stop at due to weather however, most people on the cruise were people who paid full price so the issue with the weather was not some sort of a lie. We spent the day at sea. Food wasn’t the greatest, but it is all for the most part healty foods. All and all for the taxes I believe it was in the range of 400-600. Much cheaper than what you would pay full price. Also please note at no point is this supposed to be something that you have “won” there aren’t winners. Those who enter have a chance to go on this vacation. If I could do it all over, I definitely would and it would be through Sundance because it’s just so much cheaper than booking through the company itself.

  16. It is just a genuinely pleasant day since I browse your report. I am so glad you supplied good idea to us. Thanks really a great deal to share idea with us.

  17. Laura says:

    Well most of you are pretty wrong. Its only ONE (1) HOUR. I mean c’mon one hour for a cruise that you would have to pay $1000 for out of your own pocket.. I’d give them an hour again anyday. And do you know WHY there is a BOYCOTT SUNDANCE VACATIONS facebook..?? Because the person who made it was a worker at Sundance Vacations and got fired for lying to the customers. Sundance wants nothing but honesty in their company.. she/he started giving the company complaints and giving us a bad name. He/she obviously has no life once-so-ever and had to throw their anger towards Sundance in some way. Sundance doesnt have timeshares.. I went through the presentation. Its great! I bought… because they were such good packages.. but you DONT HAVE TO BUY ANYTHING to get your cruise. I vacationed last summer in Maryland with a program they have called ‘excess inventory’ and only paid $200 for a gorgeous condo a block from the beach and boardwalk for 7days. I love this company and I took my cruise and will continue to travel with them. Whoever doesn’t go in the office for their cruise is just flat out dumb.

    Laura,

    You’re clearly a Sundance rep, you just said the individual was trying to give “us” a bad name. Then you proceeded to talk about buying a Sundance vacation.

  19. David is a genius says:

    David, I don’t think she was trying to hide that fact. She’s an employee who’s used her own product. Good for her.

    It’s no worse than the people who are calling it a scam who have never gotten any further than the phone call.
