We used the train both ways for our cruise last year. We travelled from Florence on the day of departure and it was easier to get the ticket the whole way and was very cheap.
The walk from the station to the terminal gates was an easy walk as it was down hill. Arriving at the gates for the terminal it was a free-for-all. There were people throwing bags onto buses. There were only buses every half hour and some people with kids has been there for hours not managing to get on a shuttle bus. It was very hot and there are some very rude people around. There were at least 3 ships trying to depart on the same day.
To avoid this when we returned we booked a transfer from the ship to the station (booked at the tour desk). It was very civilised. We got the train back comfortably and we always stay near the Termini so we walked our cases to the hotel.
