Marcie, it sounds like everything will work out just fine and like you said it isn't a bunch of money and you did take good precautions.
Our situation was a little different in that it was an organized private shore excursion tour that I set up for about 14 people in Villefranche. Little did I know that from early October on, the weather can be quite iffy in the Med and that we would actually miss getting into port that day.
