The cruise terminal is a couple of kilometres away from the tourist port
area (Port Vell), but almost certainly your cruise line will have a free
shuttle. On return in the afternoon/evening, get a taxi from anywhere in the
central area of Barcelona direct to your ship for 20 Euros or less. If you
need cash Euros, there are lots and lots of ATMs in Barcelona. Port Vell is
almost at the bottom of the Ramblas.
