What should Holland America 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. Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory where English is the official language, and the currency is the pound sterling, so dollars are of little use; 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, with its macaques, St Michael's Cave and the Great Siege Tunnels, is reached by taxi tour, minibus tour or on foot.
