Previously, I posted I was very satisfied with my experience with First-Class Vacations. Sadly, I…read morehave to amend my review due to a new development: I scheduled a cruise for myself and three other adults for early September. I paid extra for the trip insurance because one member of our party was suffering from a serious illness, and we knew she might have a setback and be too ill to make the trip. FCV didn't give me any info about the insurance, or what it does and doesn't cover. Thus, I didn't know the insurance that comes ordinarily with the purchase, does not cover cancellation of trips resulting from a health condition related to an illness which afflicted the member of the party prior to scheduling the trip. As a result, our friend suffered an unexpected worsening of her condition, so the trip had to be cancelled; the claim I filed with the trip insurance was denied because of our friend's pre-existing condition. I called FCV to inquire about it and the agent to whom I spoke claimed "they" didn't know anything about conditions that would invalidate the insurance. If they really didn't know, that seems unacceptably uninformed. More likely, I think they were quite aware of the policy about conditions not covered under the insurance policy, and the agent on the phone simply was not truthful. What makes me even more annoyed is I called the director of FCV's marketing and I warned her I would be forced to change my good review to a poor review if I didn't hear from her. She never called back, so I have to assume she has no concern for a dissatisfied customer, or a critical review. What a shame. If you're going to buy the trip insurance, make sure you research the policy thoroughly, and that you're fully aware of what is or isn't covered.

My parents are no longer able to travel so we have requested a refund but they are unable to because FCV do not have any money. $6500 is ALOT of money for my parents They only have SS income. I really hope they receive their hard earned money back. Shame on FCV for taking advantage of people. My parents are 82 years old and the money could be very helpful to them.

I called this place because a couple I know booked their trip to Italy through them and had nothing…read morebut praise for them. However when I called and asked to speak with the person my friends usedI was informed she was no longer there and was transferred to another agent. Italy has been on my bucket list for quite a while now. We are getting tax money back that we didn't plan on and the stars all aligned for hubby and I to finally get to Italy ( this was prior to the Coronavirus hitting Italy) I got on the phone with Lori (or maybe is was Lisa) I told her my husband had 1 week vacation time so we wanted to leave on a Friday and come home 10 days later on a Sunday so we utilized 2 full weekends. I told her places I really wanted to see and said I was flexible on dates as well as itinerary. She asked my name, address, phone number, email, budget etc. and spend about 15 minutes on the phone with me. The. She tells me - get this - "In order for me to put something together for you we charge $150 per person ($300 for myself and husband) I was upset over this for several reasons. 1st: this should have been told up front, not after getting all of my personal information. 2nd : I know my friends did not pay any fees. Then to top it off I have inboxed several of the other Yelpers who left 5 star reviews and guess what? Not a single person had to pay any fees upfront. I asked to speak with manager and she said they do Charge a fee to plan a trip! My friends who suggested this place was appalled when I told them what happened! They did go about 5 years ago and their agent they dealt with was no longer there but what a way to turn off clients.

Need to rave about Boca Express Travel. We've used them for 2 trips to Italy a few years back and…read moreeverything went perfectly, best vacations we've ever had! Lots of coordination needed with 3rd parties and prepping us with everything we needed to know, especially the local 'details' you cannot research. Their contacts and knowledge are fantastic, Denise just rocks! But where they have really shined is when things don't work out as expected. A trip to Spain was interrupted by COVID, they handled everything: cancellations, travel insurance and ensured that we were completely refunded. But the best was just last week, when a Caribbean cruise was interrupted by injury. They dealt with the cruise line and, most importantly, found us a place to spend the night as we were sitting in the hospital lobby. Saved the Day is an understatement!!!

They proved to be a game changer in navigating the often complex and time consuming passport application process. Yes, you have to pay a premium price for the service, but their streamlined approach simplified what was for me a very daunting task. Despite encountering a few initial challenges, the team was able to pivot and deliver on the promises they made. We received our passports in the nick of time. In my opinion, their ability to overcome the hurdles that popped up underscores their reliability, effectiveness and professionalism, characteristics that are very important when trying to rush a passport application. Overall, 4 stars. I would definitely use them again and I've already recommended them to others.

But the President of the branch out of Florida, Mr. Nolan Blacketer, has been extremely helpful and a man of his word.

This company is a scam!!! They lied to me get me to come to their presentation which was to…read moreprovide me with update about timeshares and laws that have been passed that would allow me to get back my maintenance fees since COVID. They said they would help me do the paper work, etc.. I specifically asked how long I'd be there and was told usually about an hour, no more than 1.5 hours. The majority of the 1 hr and 15 minutes was spent on getting some info on my timeshares and then showing me this program that doesn't have maintenance fees and all the places I can go for cheaper than with my timeshares. I worked with Mario and Tony, I think his name was Tony. When it hit 1hr and 26 minutes I said I wasn't interested in the $15,000 fee to get out of my timeshare(s) and I was told I'd be there no more than 1.5 hrs. I told them I was told there wouldn't be any selling, they said they weren't selling me anything. Yes, they were.....they were trying to sell me/get me to pay them an exorbitant amount of money for their legal fees. I said I can get out of Wyndham on my own, Tony said there is not exit plan with them, he knows bc he worked for them. Whatever! Tony didn't like what I was saying to him so he started raising his voice and shaking his finger at me, which I am not going to tolerate, the next thing I know both men are raising their voices at me and telling me to leave. I said I'm not leaving without the incentive I was promised. They said they were getting security to put me out. Hotel people came and asked me to leave, I said I'm not leaving without my incentive. Then Tony tried to say I wasn't getting my incentive. Another man said he was working on it. Hotel staff said they were calling the non-emergency police and I said go ahead, I'm not doing anything wrong. I did my part and stayed for the presentation and I wanted was I was owed. After leaving I checked them out myself and found the following: Key Details of Consumer Complaints and Actions: Misleading Sales Tactics: Consumers have reported being lured into high-pressure seminars with promises of getting out of their timeshares, only to be charged thousands of dollars for timeshare exits and unrequested travel club memberships. Unfulfilled Services: Numerous customers have complained that Options Travel Group failed to deliver on promises to legally cancel their timeshares and subsequently stopped returning phone calls. Government Investigations: The business has faced investigations by Adult Protective Services (APS) and other government agencies over allegations of coercive and fraudulent sales representations, specifically targeting seniors. (Some of the sales people are seniors. How can they live with themselves ripping off other elderly people?).

1 Star -- Completely Unprofessional and Disappointing…read more We hired this travel agent to plan and manage a large family trip centered around a major milestone birthday celebration. What we received instead was disorganization, poor communication, lack of knowledge, and passive-aggressive behavior when legitimate concerns were raised. Responses were slow or nonexistent, important details were missed, and we were repeatedly left to sort out issues ourselves. For someone claiming to be a professional travel planner, the lack of preparation and follow-through was shocking. Most unacceptable was the total absence of support during the trip itself. There was not a single check-in before, during, or after the vacation to ensure that plans were working or that we were satisfied--especially troubling given the size of our group and the significance of the occasion. This experience caused unnecessary stress and detracted from what should have been a meaningful family celebration. I would not recommend this travel agent to anyone, particularly for complex trips or special events where professionalism, responsiveness, and organization matter

Additional information costs $50, although she was unable to explain what the fee would cover exactly, except to say they would not spend 1.5 hours on it. She was not very helpful or friendly.
