Now suddenly I am responsible for planning the whole trip. Thankfully, it's a cruise (of course), but there's still before, after, and the excursions for all the ports. And I know NOTHING about Thailand and Vietnam.

They're refunding the part for the guide, but I'm like... We wouldn't even be on this trip if we didn't think we'd have a full guided tour for it!

So now I'm suddenly needing to plan for it and I am panicking a little. At least Japan I kinda know from the culture. I know nothing about Thailand except it's a very religious country.

.... Oh Wu Xin would be so proud of me on that one. >.<

Can you get a refund on the entire trip? If it was advertised as specifically a guided tour, it seems like you should be able to, but I know a lot of travel companies are weaselly little fuckers about things.

quantumvelvet: No.... because we booked our airfares ourselves. Lol. So yes likely we could do the tour part, but no point when airlines won't refund that.

oh man

We're probably going to just join all the cruise tours or something. Looking into it now. Cause I don't even know how to begin planning day trips otherwise.

yeah that's more than fair
