So unless I can find someone also on the cruise, we will have about 8 hours to kill. With any luck, I will find someone to share a tour and we can arrange to get to the airport around 5:00.
I would seriously consider finding a hotel day room somewhere. You can walk around at your leisure, have a nice lunch, freshen up again before the flight, not worry about your belongings, and you'll probably spend $200 for the room, taxi from the port to hotel, and taxi from hotel to EZE. While I have no particular suggestions for day rooms, consider either something around Recoleta or San Telmo for neighborhoods where there are interesting things/places to see, and plenty of food choices. Recoleta is ideal for the Cemetery (which is really a "must see") and San Telmo is ideal for most "EZE-convenient." If your flight is at 9:35, you'll want to leave the City at 6:00 PM.
