My husband and I purchased a 19.5 ct tanzanite bracelet from DI in Cozumel. Also, got caught up in the romance of the cruise with Carnival. Bought for $4, 000.00 and got back and it is not worth but 1/2. I am in the process of getting some type of refund for 1/2 my money back. Probably not much lunch in that. But EVERYONE needs to know that DI is OVER RATED and OVER PRICED and Carnival needs to stop promoting this type of purchasing with their cruisers. This are as much to blame as DI.
From talking with the Cruise Lines, they are acting like they want to wash their hands of these complains regarding Diamonds International. I am sure they are getting big bucks for promoting the DI jewelry and they don't want to lose this. They should get up during their "Jewelry Presentations" and advise all their loyal cruise customers who spend sometimes their years savings to take a cruise, to "BEWARE" and do your research on pricing their pieces before they get talked into getting something they can't go back and get a refund for.
