But even for coffee and a snack to go, then back on the train to your terminal. It will help to pass the time.
The OP is disembarking from a cruise. She/he has not been back to give us additional requested information, but she may not need to arrive aseparately early as first thought.
And luggage load suggests that a direct trip to the airport is involved.
OP? The ball is in your court.
