Maybe they just didn't have enough time to fuse Alexandrite? They obviously tried to use Opal for the ranged attacks as the ship appraoched, but that hardly worked at all. There was only so much time before the ship arrived on the shore, and if the Crystal Gems did try to fuse Alexandrite, in the meantime Jasper could have just taken Steven and flown away.
