Help with Arrival Day
My husband and I are arriving in Keflaxik at 6 am on an overnight flight, then taking a cruise. We cannot access our stateroom until 2 pm. Does any have a suggestion for a way for us to relax and enjoy the time? Thank you

Where is your cruise going to? That may help sway anwers.
I'd avoid arranging something that takes you too far away from things, especially since you have a strict time frame here. It may seem like a lot of time, but in reality it really isnt. And, honestly, for cruises, you really should arrive the day before, not the day of - what if your flight to Iceland is canceled?
Keep some things in mind about Iceland, weather - even in Spring or Summer - can impact everything. I did a stopover and both times the plane had to sit on the tarmac after landing for hours - 2+ both times - because the winds were too rough to safely deplane. Retrieving luggage at Keflavik can be a nightmare, too, and I'd imagine with a cruise you probably won't have carryon.
While I know you arrive early enough for any tours, I really strongly suggest if you want to partake in any, arrive the day before. Otherwise, do something close by either to tour Reykjavik or do Blue Lagoon as suggested above.
