In particular, does anyone know what Cunard does if a passenger for a crossing misses the boat because the Cunard-arranged flight or airport transfer is late?
Yes-the programs vary greatly in terms of price and quality. Cunard and Princess share a system, and it is generally regarded (at least by me *grins*) to be the best of the cruise line airfare programs. Very flexible and usually better than published fares. Cunard's program is described on this link.

As you can see, the late arrival protection is not applicable on transatlantic sailings.It's why I always stay at a hotel the night before
