Every visit to Barcelona must include a short stroll down La Rambla. There will be shuttle busses from the ship to the statue of Columbus. From there, just head north on the tree-lined avenue as far as the Placa Catalunya, the end of La Rambla. You will find cafes, shops, museums, El Corte Ingles (a fantastic department store), and all kinds of other things along the way.

To give you a small idea of what you might encounter, turn on your speakers and watch this short video. The only photo not taken on this street is the one of the Barcelona soccer player. Really!
