I don't know how much free time I'll have, but if anyone from the area has a recommendation for a must see (other than standard cruise excursion stuff), I'd love to know.
Nice to hear that, Slovenia is lovely. First time in Slovenia?
I guess if you are here just for a day, it would be best to see one of our biggest highlights. Postojna cave and nearbye Predjama castle (Predjama translates as Infront of a cave) if you are into such things, Bled lake if you prefer beautiful Alpine environment. Valley of Soča river is arguably most beautiful part of the country with many adrenaline activities (rafting, zipline, canyoning,...) if you are into such things. If you are into history, there is a great small WW1 museum in the Soča Valley (Soča Valley was a place of huge WW1 front and several hundred thousand people died). Or just a day at the beach and have some good food and drinks. I guess I could recommend some less known quality restaurants, if you wish. What is the cruise offering?

Edit: if you are in Ljubljana, go to the castle (short walk up the hill or funicular), take a walk in a very nice and small city centre, enjoy the vibe. Ljubljana in summer is full of life, a lot of things going on, many tourists.
