What should Ambassador Cruise Line passengers know about Gibraltar?

Ships berth at the Gibraltar Cruise Terminal on the North Mole, about a 15-minute walk from Casemates Square and Main Street. English is the official language and the currency is the pound sterling, with UK notes accepted alongside Gibraltar notes, and cards are widely accepted. Clocks are on Central European Time, the same as Spain. The cable car has been closed for a rebuild, so the Upper Rock, with its macaques, St Michael's Cave and the Great Siege Tunnels, is reached by taxi tour, minibus tour or on foot.
