💡 Shore excursion tip

Royal Caribbean shore excursions are reliable but pricey. The standard Rock tour is around £80 from RC and £35-50 booked direct as a taxi tour.

Recommended day plan (independent)

If on a 10-hour stop, do the Rock in the morning (taxi tour, the cable car is closed for refurbishment) and a half-day day trip to Tarifa or La Linea Spain in the afternoon. Cross the border into Spain (5 minutes from your ship via Casemates), grab tapas, return.

Royal Caribbean-specific notes

Royal Caribbean passengers tend to be active. Mediterranean Steps trail is a great half-day for fit cruisers.
