If you are likely to be late you should call the emergency number and give an estimate of your arrival time. Often, the itinerary will have enough slack built in to allow the captain to delay departure for an hour, although tides etc. can negate this.
With the amount of money I have saved by going private rather on ship's tours I could easily finance getting to the next port of call many times over.
