Please help me not panic over flying in the morning of our cruise!

Be on the first flight of the day. Make sure it's direct. And make sure you get trip insurance...just in case.

Not ideal. But get a hand on the things you can control. First flight of the day, no connections. Research additional flights with different carriers and be prepared to spend the $$ to get on one of those flights if necessary. Buy trip insurance. The rest is out of your control and all the worrying is not going to influence or change things. I hope you can relax and I hope you have a great cruise.

this is great advice. sometimes an airline will cross book you if it is a special circumstance. I see that Cleveland is a few hours drive away, so that might be an option as well for some non-stop flights.
