Most ships leave from Pier 35. But this year some have left from a new location in South Beach. So, double check Pier 35 is the right place for you 
Pier 35 is on the Embarcadero near Bay St. Never heard of it having an address.
If by "downtown" you mean the financial district, that is about a mile from Pier 35.
San Francisco airport to Pier 35 is 15-16 miles. Travel times can vary widely depending on highway traffic and city streets traffic. I could see it taking over an hour in some hellish rush hour scenario.
Helpful?

If you are flying into SFO or OAK, you can take the BART to the city and pick up the trolley to Embarcadero. From OAK airport it is less than $7.00 per person and is fairly easy. You should plan on at least 1.5 hours for the whole journey. Have fun!

For the pier 35, think fishermans wharf. It is two piers towards "downtown" from Pier 39, fishermans wharfs' major attraction.

I just took BART from SFO to downtown San Fran yesterday.
More things to consider.......
Per person fare is $4.95 to the 4 main downtown stations. Travel time is 30 min. Large amounts of luggage are permitted, but it can be very hard to hail a cab outside any of the stations except Embarcadero (go to the Hyatt.).
So, unless you're a sherpa or were a pack animal in a past life, make sure you understand the distance from BART to your hotel.
Also, a large percentage of the route is in a subway and good scenery is quite limited.
Another option is Supershuttle and the other shuttle vans. They cost a bit more, but are door to door and you'd see some sights on the way in.
So for me, if I were visiting for a cruise with lots of luggage, Id take a van. If I were traveling light, and did't care to ride through a tunnel, BART wins.
