Back-up plans = another question

[TheCalicoCat]

For those of you who do make back-up plans, how do you go about it?

 

You can't possibly book 2 tours & just not go on one. (That wouldn't be fair to the vendor or other people for whom that was their plan A & they can't do it because it is being held as your plan B.)

 

Since my Plan B's right now appear to be last minute type plans, I guess it doesn't matter, but it keeps me thinking! & I appreciate your answers - maybe your answers can steer me towards other Plan B ideas.

What I do is a bunch of internet research to find alternatives for last minute plans for what I want to see and find the where, what, when and the cost. Things like the totem park in Ketchikan and the little train that will take you there - I will find the route, where to catch it, how much for the train and any admission fees. There is a bus to the Mendenhall Glacier that is very reasonable so I had all that info also if my tour did not fly. TI do consider the research as part of the fun before a cruise!

 

Also check the port sites on CC to see what other people may suggest.

Or you just might plan more cruises that go to those ports. We have been to several Caribbean ports more than 8 times. We ran out of Plan B items a long time ago. Just book another cruise.

I spend hours researching excursion possibilities before deciding on a Plan A for each port. The research always includes a DIY walking/public transport option which, in most cases, becomes Plan B.

I save on my IPad's iBooks webpages of port's tour groups, including port's transport maps. If the reserved excursion gets cancelled, we refer to our plan B
