The age was not known for good roads. Although these probably got a bit better closer to the cities of the Byzantines, moving an army across medieval Europe would have meant moving it through the mud.

I am not terribly sure that this is correct. There were a large numbers of Crusaders who made the overland journey to the Holy Land. This long journey was one of the principal reasons why the Crusader States formed along the Mediterranean Coast along the route from Constantinople to Jerusalem. However, one of the major benefits to water travel over land travel in the Crusade period was that robbers and thieves could not ambush you along the road. Additionally, the route by water was more direct than the route by land.

Some surviving members lingered in Constantinople and joined the army of nobles, when they arrived.
