💡 Shore excursion tip
MSC tours can be good value if booked early. The dolphin watching excursion is essentially the same boat the operators run direct.
Recommended day plan (independent)
Taxi tour up the Rock (cable car closed for refurbishment), focus on the cave and the apes, walk down through the old town, lunch at Casemates, dolphin trip if you have 6+ hours total.
MSC-specific notes
MSC ships often dock alongside other cruise lines, so the Rock can get busy on multi-ship days. Aim for early morning.
