Sounds like a weather delay would have also caused her to miss her cruise. Which isn't unusual for April.

Given everything, I'd be blaming the travel agent for piss-poor planning.
There are a lot of very bad travel agents out there. If they don't travel themselves or just book cheap packages, they have no clue.
