A cruise will not wait for a delayed flight. The cost of a hotel night in the departure port is trivial against the cost of missing the sailing entirely, and missing it is not covered by the cruise line.
Say so in your request and we will look at the flights alongside the sailing, so the connection between the two is somebody's responsibility rather than an assumption.
