The Sheraton is twentieth, on the same score as the other Schiphol hotels and a hair farther by road. Schiphol's page puts it before security and directly above the airport's train station, two minutes on foot from Arrivals or Departures.
For a cruise from Rotterdam, that station is the point. The Intercity direct to Rotterdam Centraal takes 26 minutes, per NS, so you can sleep near the gate and still reach the ship by mid-morning.
Our routing puts Cruise Terminal Rotterdam about 38.8 road miles away by car. We read only Schiphol's listing, which covers bars and a fitness centre but not breakfast or room counts.
Book it if you land after dark, and buy the train ticket with your bank card at the gate.
