The Cruise Bus is a bus service available at the Barcelona Port. You can book tickets in their official website.
It runs a circular route between the World Trade Center (located just 550 meters from La Rambla) and the Cruise Terminals.

Check the returning schedule at your stop or with the bus driver. The one way ticket costs 3,00€ and the round trip 4,50€.

Taking a taxi is the easiest way (and most expensive also) to get to Barcelona from the cruise terminals. Depending on the demand the service can be fast and reliable, however sometimes you may expect big lines to catch one.
On the other side, the ride to Columbus Monument is generally fast and you should expect to pay between 12-15€, as there is a suplementary charge for being picked up on the Port.
Remember to write down the Terminal you're in so you don't get lost on the way back to the cruise.
