    Cruise Island Shopping

    I am happy to report that a manager at the DCL corporate offices took notice of one of my letters of complaint and intervened on our behalf with Diamonds International. Without his help, the process could still be ongoing and without resolution. I want to thank Mr. Joe Paris for evaluating the...

    Advice for a cruise newbie please

    We were first time cruisers this past Fall. We picked Disney because it represented the most "family friendly" cruise out there. We also had great experiences with Disney Parks and Resorts in the past. You've come to a great place to find out more information. I would also suggest buying...

    Cruise Island Shopping

    Thank you for following along the thread. I would rather not say. This was a once in a lifetime purchase for a special occasion. We've learned so much the hard way, and its not over. The difficulty is ever present with us until there is a resolution.

    Cruise Island Shopping

    Sorry guys, forgot to mention that the independent lab downgraded the color and clarity of the ring also. Praying for a refund, and this doesn't happen to anyone else!

    Cruise Island Shopping

    Thank you, we are doing just that. My mission now is to get the word out to keep someone else from going through the stress of what we've been through. We were first time cruisers and always had a positive experience with the Disney company before. I wonder why Disney would risk their brand...

    Cruise Island Shopping

    We took our first cruise aboard the Disney Magic over Thanksgiving.

Diamonds Int. is one of Disney's trusted sellers and we were assured...
