My friend & I have a cruise booked on the Conquest for Feb. 24 to Monetgo Bay, Grand Caymen & Cozumel. What are good shore excursions to go on. We haven't booked any yet but are thinking of doing Bamboo Beach Break & Dunn's Fall in Jamaica, Snorkerling in Grand Caymen-can't remember w/who, and the Playa Mia Beach Break in Cozumel. Any suggestions from anyone? Whatever we do I'm sure we'll have a blast.

We went on this cruise last June. In Jamaica we did the Sandals beach resort. At first it was fine! Music, drinks, beach! Then the loud jets over the resort (that seemed to barely clear the resort). Then they played the same 3 songs over and over and over until it was just really grinding on the nerves! Some people did an excursion in a covered canopy and ended up being robbed. All were safe with 1 of the robbers being killed and the other captured! I always wanted to go to Jamaica..perhaps Ocho Rios is better! Grand Cayman snorkeling was great! We stopped over a shipwreck! That was cool! We felt that was the best stop of the 3! Maybe because we'd been to Cozumel before. We did deep sea fishing in Cozumel! It was fun but we probably wouldn't choose that again anytime soon! We did Snuba there the previous year which was fun!

Enjoy your cruise!

Thanks!
We thought about Sandals but when I looked at their website I really didn't like that they were so open. No trees, just all sun. Don't know if it's changed since then but really didn't care for it. I think we decided on Dunn's Fall & Beach Break in Ocho Rios for Jamaica. Snorkeling in Caymans and Playa Mia Beach break in Cozumel.

You should check out Captain Marvin's for snorkeling adventures in Grand Caymen. They are reasonably priced and have really good service.

I've been to Jamacia twice and I have no desire to go again. If I'm every on a cruise that stops there, I will stay on the ship. That being said, both times we did the Dunn's River Falls excursion. It was okay but like I said, I never need to go there again.

I'd go with Playa Mia as well in Cozumel but don't book it through Carnival. It's always more expensive. Just take a taxi there on your own.

Are you sure you really want to travel to Dunn's River Falls from Montego Bay? It is a long bus ride on windy, dangerous roads in Jamaica? Dunn's River Falls is much better to do from Ocho Rios. I personally would go to a beach resort in Montego Bay and definitely use capt Marvin in Grand Cayman.

We booked it on the ship. I can't remember the cost, but it's listed on the shore excursions for Montego Bay.
