Is this survey for real? A free cruise?

Yeah I got a phone call today saying that if I took the survey then I would win a free cruise to the bahamas. Anyway it didn't ask for anything like credit card numbers or stuff like that. And it said to go to this website called survey claim http://www.surveyclaim.com/default.aspx
Is this legit? Anyone know. *sigh* am I gullible?
