How should we spend the 10 hours when our cruise docks in Portofino in August to stay cool and try to keep two teenagers happy?

Besides being an expensive place to buy ice cream, Portofino is infinitely tiny. It consists of a combination town square/boat ramp that is a couple of hundred feet on each side and a few more hundred feet of street. That's it.
You can buy a beer, buy a t-shirt, buy a beer ......buy a gelato.
There is noting else to do except maybe walk along the coast road in a crowd of tourists.
Or you could use Steve's links and drop half a grand to a grand to kill time.
If the launches from the ship make multiple sorties, go in buy a t-shirt, buy a ....... Then go back to the boat.

I think you'd enjoy a loop hike from Portofino to Santa Margherita Ligure, one way along the sidewalk by the sea and the other through the hills as described in Rick's Italy book.
