I filled out a card at the mall a long time ago about a free cruise trip, and someone called me today and told me I won, she gave me the phone number and confirmation number. I called and everything seems legit, its with Diamond Holidays Cruise trips. Anyone know if this is a rip off? or how I can find out if it is or not.

Everyone wins and everyone gets the same offer with Diamond Holidays.
The fact remains, people don't get anything for free.. or even discounted and you certainly didn't WIN anything. You will be paying $77.00 each to PROCESS (which is bogus), and $100 port fees, which are non-existent. The hotels offered are usually pretty ragged, and with all these associated fees, they could book a real vacation without having to listen to a time share presentation. Just those facts make this a con. Maybe not illegal, but a con none the less.

Ther is always a catch... Port charges and taxes are legitimate expenses from any cruise line... the rest... well buyer beware. Look for a member of CLIA (Cruise Line Industry Association) and you won't go far astray.

I would check with the Attorney General's office. They should tell you if it's a fake or not. Good luck!

Never heard of them, but if you have to put out any of your own money then it's a fake.
