This Weekend Was Proof That You Need a Plan B

So, if you live in the Northeastern United States (like I do) you spent most of the weekend digging out from its aftermath. We ended up with a total of nearly thirty inches and let me tell you, it shut everything down. The Carnival Pride which sails out of the Port of Baltimore reportedly had only 100 no-shows which is remarkable considering they too had to dig out from under two feet of snow. Although, I have to admit that if my cruise ship was docked down the street I’d have found a way to get there as well. A storm of this type underlines the need to have a plan in place in case of severe whether. That plan can be in the form of trip insurance, flying out early or only sailing out of ports you can drive to at certain times of the year.

Now just when you thought the snow was through here comes another news report saying that we are going to get another foot of snow Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. The good news is with it being in the middle of the week it won’t impact anyone flying out to catch a ship this weekend. Just the same if this is a sign of things to come the rest of the winter is going to be one wild ride.
