Be sure your trip insurance is paid up in full.
Yeah, that's what they keep telling us to do: buy trip insurance. But in my mind trip insurance is to cover unexpected things on the traveler's end like an illness, family emergency, missing a connecting flight, etc. - being asked to buy insurance to cover a known fundamental structural flaw with the vessel itself... that seems more like something that should insured by the operator themselves, since it's an issue completely on their end and something that is already known at this point. Shifting the cost and risk of the outcome to the guests doesn't seem to be the ethical way to go about it, imho.
