I'm not going to second guess the captain of the aircraft you were flying on. Ultimately it's his or her decision to fly and if I were putting my life in his or her hands I would feel good about the decision he or she made no matter what. Maybe you didn't think a bit of "frost" on the wings was a big deal but in his or her experience and training he/she made the call to delay until the problem cleared.
I have been on several cruises and have heard stories like this before. I am glad you made your cruise however unless you live in the city where the ship is departing from you should NEVER book travel to meet a cruise on the same day as the ship's departure. You should always book travel at least the day before and get a hotel room either near the airport or the port where the ship is departing from.
