We started the morning on the ship, then headed into Cartagena and booked a 1-hour private taxi tour right from the port. It was a simple, easy way to see the highlights with kids: Coastal viewpoints & beach area (La Cortina) 🌊 City views from above and historic forts / castles Plaza stops, old streets and one of the oldest bars in the city Local insight from our English-speaking taxi driver After the tour, we were dropped in one of the main plazas and spent time walking the Old Town, grabbing coffee, letting the kids hunt for football trading cards, and doing a bit of shopping (of course 😄). We then walked over toward the Roman amphitheater and climbed up for an amazing viewpoint over the city and port. From there, it’s an easy 3–4 minute walk back to the ship. Later in the video, we share: - How to explore Cartagena easily on your own from the cruise port - A simple walking route from the ship to shops, cafés, and the amphitheater - A brief explanation of why Lisbon was cancelled and what weather to expect at sea - Ship life: water slides, Halloween decorations, the white party & evening entertainment If you’ve got a Mediterranean or repositioning cruise that includes Cartagena, this vlog will give you realistic expectations of what a DIY day looks like with kids. 📍 Port: Cartagena, Spain 🚢 Itinerary Change: Lisbon cancelled due to weather – bonus Cartagena day 👍 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more family cruise port guides! Tuvimos un día extra en Cartagena, España después de que cancelaran nuestra escala en Lisboa por mal tiempo… ¡y resultó ser una excelente sorpresa! Al bajar del crucero en Cartagena, tomamos un tour privado en taxi de 1 hora directamente desde la terminal. Fue una forma sencilla y cómoda de ver lo más importante con niños: - Miradores con vista a la costa y la playa (La Cortina) 🌊 - Vistas de la ciudad desde lo alto y fuertes / castillos históricos - Plazas principales, calles antiguas y uno de los bares más antiguos de la ciudad - Explicaciones de nuestro guía / taxista en inglés Después del tour, nos dejó en una de las plazas principales y seguimos el día caminando por el centro histórico, tomando café, dejando que los niños compraran tarjetas de fútbol y haciendo un poco de compras. Luego caminamos hacia el anfiteatro romano y subimos hasta un mirador con vistas increíbles de la ciudad y el puerto. Desde ahí, son solo 3–4 minutos caminando de regreso al barco. Al final del video mostramos: - Cómo explorar Cartagena por tu cuenta desde el puerto de cruceros - Una ruta sencilla a pie desde el barco hacia tiendas, cafés y el anfiteatro - Explicación rápida de por qué cancelaron Lisboa y qué tiempo esperamos en el mar - Vida a bordo: toboganes de agua, decoraciones de Halloween, fiesta blanca y show nocturno Si tu crucero por el Mediterráneo incluye Cartagena, este video te dará una idea real de cómo puede ser un día por tu cuenta con niños.
