Day trip to from Florence to Venice will be tough, but it's what thousands of cruise tourists do. We're in Venice now on a 4 night stay. There are many cruise ships coming and going each day. Piazza San Marco was packed this afternoon with tour groups from at least 7 different cruise ships in town.

I think all you'll be able to do is walk around Piazza San Marco (maybe line up to see the Basilica and Palazzo Ducale), take a tour of Grand Canal (either by public boat - 7 euros per person or private taxi).
