Cruise lines will tell you not to book air before noon. Reason is that ship can be late in returning, ship will be delayed in clearance (if people aren't reporting to ICE or paying their shipboard accounts), or for any number of other reasons. Once off the ship it will take a little time to claim luggage, unless you are carrying everything off.
What sells out first: Christmas/New Years, Presidents Week in February, Spring Break Week in March, Easter Week and July/August sailings when the children are out of school. To get the space you want on the cruise and necessary air arrangements, don't hesitate to book 9 to 11 months in advance if possible. The remainder of February, March and April sailings usually start to fill up once the weather starts to turn cold in the Northeast and Midwest.
