Yep ... been there done that. Got to spend two days in Costa Rica taking an "unscheduled" land vacation. Only difference with me is that weather wasn't even a factor. The airplane blew an engine shortly after takeoff and we had to divert. By the time they got the airplane fixed and back in the air, bye bye Rotterdam.
Wish I could say I will never fly on the day of the cruise again. But, sadly I've had to do it several times since, and will do it again in three weeks. I work night work and sometimes it is just impossible to get the night off before the cruise. Also, available vacation days is an issue as well. So, unfortunately, I pays my money and I takes my chances. Travel insurance minimizes the risk of unforeseen expenses as well.
