Tender fallback

When berths are scarce we hold a sheltered anchorage + tender (or captain-only standby) plan before you fly — never a last-minute scramble at the mole.

Luggage / night before

Night-before hotel near the gateway (or marina) when late arrivals risk missing the embarkation slot — we hold rooms against the transfer plan.
