The waterfront is one of the nicest spots to walk in the city and the cruise ship terminal is a part of it, so that part of the visit pretty much handles itself. The Citadel is worth visiting too. You could do an official tour but you can also just walk up. It's maybe a 15 minute walk uphill, and there's stuff to stop and look at along the way. You could probably take a cab up too if you wanted.

I'm not sure if any places do the full on lobster dinner at lunch time but lots of places have lobster rolls. Maritime Lobster Shack in the farmers' market right next to the cruise terminal is supposed to be good, but I've never tried it. Pretty much all of the places along the waterfront are touristy but a lot of them are also good. I'm not really sure what the worst traps are; maybe others know (Salty's?). I had a great meal at Bicycle Thief last time I was back and they're on the water but it's an Italian place. They may have lobster on the menu but I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for. Lobster is fairly ubiquitous in Halifax and there are lots of restaurants downtown.
