If it was an online agency such as Orbitz or Expedia you can subscribe to alerts to keep you informed of delays or cancellations. Even if the ticket wasn't booked on United.com you can still go to their website as well and subscribe to alerts and be informed by phone, e-mail or text message of a flight's status.
And, of course, never EVER fly the same day as the ship departs. It will leave without you and if you didn't book your air through the cruise line you're on your own to either catch up with the ship or cancel.
