You got lucky
I would not have done the flight in the first place, SE or ME.

There is nothing wrong with going to an airport giving broken 100 vis 1200 metres.

Obviously if the weather is suspect carry plenty of reserves for a possible diversion and make sure the diversions are not borderline too.
On the TAFS the weather we had was a prob 30 and the actual OK and above minima when we left.

You can usually tell on frequency listening to other approaches as to whether they are getting in, stuck in the hold, or diverting.
I dont like holding waiting for better things as to me that is using fuel to go no where The motto " have fuel can travel " !

We have one quite nervous Pax on this ship and when she is onboard I am more aware of turbulence, extending airbrakes or go arounds in cloud although thankfully they dont happen often.
