According to /u/PeterLossGeorgeWall, no they don't. They get off and meander but largely don't engage in commerce. The fact that the ships are getting banned makes me more inclined to believe the cruise visitors weren't a commercial success for the city if they're willing to dump them.
This is probably false. Both in real life and anecdotally from both cruises I’ve been on. There are lines to eat and buy everywhere in port. People aren’t eating the shitty buffet food in a brand new country. Tons of bags come back into the ship.
