Policy as of August 2007: Attention Single ladies:
Re: New information regarding dance hosts on future Sundancer
Cruises.
Sundancer knows there are NEVER enough single men on any of
dance cruise. as well as any other dance venues. Sundancer has
given this issue much thought and have some ideas and suggestions
we wanted to share.
Our first suggestion would be for future single cruisers to try to find a
dance partner to join you whenever possible, or to encourage any
single men that you like to dance with at your local dance locations to
join you.
One question we are frequently asked by single ladies is “what is the
ratio of women to men”. The answer really doesn’t mean very much,
although none of our cruises have been worse than 3 to 1. The
problem is, of the single men that book, we have no idea about their
dancing ability, what dances they know, and whether they will
“circulate” or not. Of course, this is their vacation too, so we have no
control over that. To be honest, we had a dance cruise in December
2006 where the ratio was EQUAL, but the men on that cruise did not
circulate. We have seen on other cruises ladies actually get more
dances and have more fun where the ratios had been 3 to 1, because
the men on those cruises knew most of the dance and did circulate.
Also many of our couples like to circulate with the singles, but this also
varies with each cruise. So for whatever it is worth – the ratio often
means very little.
Sundancer has advertised since 2005 that we would provide a
minimum of 2 dance hosts on every sailing, and thus far have had
more than that. With the cost of the staff and instructors, we need to
stress that on future cruises, that Sundancer will only be guarantying
two dance hosts per cruise, regardless of the “ratio”. Not to say that
there may be occasion that we may be able to hire more, this is what
should be expected. We’ve tried to keep our pricing reasonable and it
would not be fair to the couples that book with Sundancer to raise our
prices to hire more dance hosts. So we have come up with a
suggestion for those single ladies that want to take advantage of it.
You can hire your own dance host and you would get to choose who
you would want that to be. Some instructors may be interested in this
arrangement, as well as hosts or advanced dancers you may know.
This way you know what you are getting and we won’t feel bad if you
weren’t happy with someone we chose. If there is a host that
Sundancer has used in the past, we would certainly give you his
contact information. Here is how it could work. You would assume the
cost, or share the cost of hosts based on the following:
(1) One lady to one host (you pay 100% of the host’s cruise expenses)
(2) Two ladies to one host (you each pay 50% of the host’s cruise
expenses)
(3) Three ladies to one host (each lady pays 33-1/3% of the host’s
cruise expenses)
(4) Four ladies to one host (each lady pays 25% of the host’s cruise
expenses)
This way you would get guaranteed dances with your own host, as
well as dances with by the two Sundancer hosts on board, as well as
hopefully dances from some of the single men on board.
Of course, the host you chose would have to agree to go on the
cruise in exchange for his services. It would be between you and
your host as to what amount of expenses you would cover and what
duties your host would provide. Of course, the cost will vary
depending on the cruise, itinerary and departure port.
Sundance will still continue to do mixers, ladies’ choices, and other fun
activities to make sure everyone is having fun. We will try our best to
supervise the hosts during the social dance parties as well.
We hope you will understand that we want to keep cruise pricing
affordable for everyone, while also keeping our business profitable.
We know of no other dance cruise organizations providing dance
hosts at the prices we offer. We are confident that Sundancer
Cruises will continue to provide a high quality dance experience and
an outstanding value for your vacation dollar. But we want to be clear
about the host situation and what Sundancer will provide to avoid any
misunderstandings. If you go to some of the other dance cruise sites
that offer a single lady to host ratio guaranty, such as www.
dancersatsea.com, you will see their prices are incredibly higher than
ours. For those single ladies that want to be guaranteed more hosts,
we suggest you take advantage of the suggestions above, or pursue
booking with those companies. This is not our focus, although we will
do our best to insure everyone has a great time. Sundancer Cruises
s focus is simply providing dance cruises with dances and workshops
to enhance their cruise vacation. All the organized private dance
activities are included in our prices. We think our dance cruise
vacations are a great value for what you get compared to just going
on any cruise. That was and is our goal.
Should you or your host need a roommate we would be happy to
assist with that.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
