Cruise ship lines only want to work with large tour operators. Small independent operators are not worth their time. Most of the smaller operators like captain larry will arrange their schedule to fit the ship schedules. The cruise ships do not guarantee a certain number of passengers. The tour operators have to guarantee a certain number of seats available on the tours. If the seats are not filled on the ship, the operators are out of luck. The ships do not have to pay for any tours they don't book, but the operators still have costs they have to cover.
