Hi my family and i booked a cruise with cruise118, we paid the deposit of approx 1300 pounds, for a med cruise with ncl in august , they now want the remaining 2600 pounds  before may the 10th, contacted them worried about paying the remaining balance and they offered us voucher for the deposit? What do people think, anyway of getting deposit money back thanks in advance.

    At the moment all you can do is take the voucher or pay the balance  and either go on the cruse (which I personally think won't happen) or hope they cancel for a full refund.

    I would not part with any money in this environment and accept their voucher for the deposit.

    I would take the voucher for the deposit. 

    If you pay the balance and then don't sail, which is highly likely, you could end up with a voucher for the entire amount.
