Yeah, I see what you mean - the queen hitched a ride on their dropship up to the Sulaco at the end of the 2nd movie, so even if she somehow layed a few eggs there, they would have been in the dropship and not Ripley and Newt's cryochamber, elsewhere on the Sulaco. But disregarding the "it's just sci-fi" mindset, I don't think it unfeasible for the eggs to have hatched on the dropship and then for the facehuggers to have made themselves to the cryochambers - the Sulaco was not a particularily large vessel as it was just for military transport and its only crew appeared to be the company of Marines that was now dead. Essentially, the aliens are the ultimate in survival - everything they come in contact with, they destroy or assimilate to their own purposes - I think that is the same sort of hive mindset that seems so alien, yet so terrifyingly similar to ourselves - and that is the same fear that Geiger and Ridley Scott were attempting to capture in people with the concepts in the original film, starting the mythos. If you remember int he first film, the baby alien, vulnerable as it was, still survived on its very own in an environment it wasn't necessarily adapted to. Also, as we can ascertain from the harsh environments of planet Acheron, the aliens are perfectly suited to survive in harsh conditions wherever they might be - this component, I think, explains enough about how they are able to survive no matter the condition and how they evolve to the situation to make sure to carry out their process of life. So yeah, in that respect, I really don't see how it's all that impossible for a facehugger to make its way through the Sulaco and into Ripley's pod block.
