What should Celestyal 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. Gibraltar is on the same time as Spain, English is the official language, and the currency is the pound sterling; euros are widely accepted in shops but often at a less favourable rate, and cards are widely accepted. The cable car has been closed for a rebuild, so the Upper Rock is reached by taxi tour, minibus tour or on foot.
