We visited Tarragona in 2017 and really enjoyed our day there. Tarragona is a great place just "to be" and walk around. The Roman ruins and the cathedral are particularly interesting. The cathedral is built on top of a Roman temple that has been partially excavated. Also, renovations of the cathedral uncovered some beautiful frescoes that had been covered up over the centuries.
I guess if you're on a Mediterranean cruise, Sitges wouldn't be all that special, but it is a pretty beach town.
The Priorat Wine Country is close to Tarragona. If you can find a shore excursion to take you there, I would definitely consider that - assuming you're into wine!
Can't help with Alicante.
