Welcome!
I've just recently been to Mo. Bay, Jamaica. If you really want to get off the boat at this stop book through the ship! I never used this company but I feel that if i didn't book through the ship we would have experienced more of the things we did experience and thats not good, lol. I'm pretty sure that RC picks the best companies to book excursions, so some random company might not be the best choice. For example, even though we did book with RC, we got off the ship and right away there was a fight between tour guides, and at the same time we were offered some drugs, this all happened before we even got on our bus to the excursion. Our friends we were with didn't stay with a group and did their own thing, they were bothered and haggled by the people selling things (they even got mad at them if they didn't stop to look at their items for sell, insulting my friends asking her if she need maternity clothes- she does not look prego.!), they also saw some random old dirty NAKED guy just standing on the corner of the street, yes naked, completely, I saw the pictures!!! LOL Very "Large" naked man. So my best bet is STAY WITH RC!!! If not i wish the best for you and hope it works out!!

When I went to ocho rios a couple of years ago. After my husband and I were done at the dunns river falls, we stopped at the market attached. We were looking at what they had to sell and decided to buy something. Well when I went into my fany pack to get money they were watching us. The next thing I know a guy is putting on a necklace on me and tying a knot into it saying it was for good luck then nodded to his friend. What did that mean? All I know is that my husband and I felt we had been marked so we very politely and very quickly go out of there. Now were booked for the Oasis western carribean and not sure what their going to offer at falmouth jamaica. We might decided to stay on the ship as we will be with our kids. I do think Jamaica is a beautiful looking country though.

I'm not sure if she still has her business but I made my own arrangements in Montego Bay and specified exactly what we wanted to see and do. She met us right off the ship, escorted us to her van and we spent the whole day having a fantastic time in Jamaica. We started at Rose Hall Beach. Then we went into the hills to see how the locals lived. She then took us to a local Jerk Chicken Shack where the food was unbelievable and cheap. (never would have stopped there on our own the way it first looked). The she took us to some local artisan area where we purchased some gifts and momentos (No one haggled us at all) Finally we went to Margaritaville and then back to the ship. It still is one of our most ,memorable experiences of any port we have ever visited including Tahiti (Bora Bora, Morea etc...)

Do you have the name/contact info for the person who gave you the tour in Jamaica? We'll be on a cruise this weekend, and Ocho Rios is our first stop. Would love to see as much as possible, but am concerned about reports of pickpockets, robberies, drugs, etc....especially since I'll be traveling with my 80-yr-old mother. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Thanks!

hi just got back from Jamaica my wife and i were on the navigator of the seas great ship! i read so much about Jamaica before we left home and talked to people who had a real bad experience there, we thought the country was beautiful but so much poverty you really want to buy there stuff but beware if you do buy please use cash there are people that use there credit cards here and were sorry by the time they got home to find charges on there cards that they did not purchase. so we booked our excursions with RC.we went to sandals resort for the day for $100.00 a piece nice private beach two great big pools with hot tubs food and all drinks included well worth the money.for me it just seemed really strange that we were partying and having a great time right next to all this poverty if you do go here don't go past the guards gate, one other tip the guys on the wave runners will try to sell you drugs i would love to see more this country but i don't think its going to happen have fun.
