One of the nicest places on the planet and, you missed it. You might have had more fun had you got a bus to puerto del carmen but, not sure what time you had. That's why visiting some of the most beautiful places on earth doessn't really work when you have a couple of hours shore time.
Thanks for posting the video. Looking at Google map, it looks like your ship was docked at the newer cruise terminal. Had it been on the older pier further out, it wouldn't have been so easy to walk into town. I've not been to Lanzarote, but friends who have been all said that Arrecife is not especially interesting; ok for a day trip from another parts of the island.
I have never found Arrecife as bad as your making it out to be and always spend sometime there when on island. Guess you should have done some research before you went. Also you are giving the wrong impression of the bus service as other lines are much more frequent than the one you chose and I find the bus service excellent compared to some places. Most people wouldn’t take the bus to visit places such as this in Lanzarote as car hire is reasonable and may be better option if ship was in port for most of day.

I think most ships now dock at the new terminal. I'm glad I'm not the only one who wasn't enthralled with Arrecife!
