My husband and I were on the conquest 10-14-07 and enjoyed the Sandals excursion in Montego Bay. I was somewhat leery of this port based on all you hear & read about it. However it turned out to be the highlight of the cruise. After you debark you will locate your tour group inside the terminal building. We didn't have to wait very long - maybe 15 minutes - then the tour guide gathered us up and escorted us to the bus. This was a nice motor coach air conditioned and clean. The trip to the resort took 15-20 minutes. All along the way, the tour escort gave general information and clear instructions on returning to the the bus at the end of the excursion. All went as described and we were taken back to the terminal without incident. We did not tarry in the terminal and went directly back to the ship. All in all it was a great day. The beach at Sandals was beautiful white powder sand - no shells, no rocks, no sea weed. The water was very clear and waves were minimal. The food was ok and the drinks were cold. The resort staff was very generous in promoting the rum shots - almost in the vein of a college frat party. If we go to Montego Bay again we will definitely return to Sandals.

[QUOTE="crusin okie, post: 1246883"] My husband and I were on the conquest 10-14-07 and enjoyed the Sandals excursion in Montego Bay. I was somewhat leery of this port based on all you hear & read about it. However it turned out to be the highlight of the cruise. After you debark you will locate your tour group inside the terminal building. We didn't have to wait very long - maybe 15 minutes - then the tour guide gathered us up and escorted us to the bus. This was a nice motor coach air conditioned and clean. The trip to the resort took 15-20 minutes. All along the way, the tour escort gave general information and clear instructions on returning to the the bus at the end of the excursion. All went as described and we were taken back to the terminal without incident. We did not tarry in the terminal and went directly back to the ship. All in all it was a great day. The beach at Sandals was beautiful white powder sand - no shells, no rocks, no sea weed. The water was very clear and waves were minimal. The food was ok and the drinks were cold. The resort staff was very generous in promoting the rum shots - almost in the vein of a college frat party. If we go to Montego Bay again we will definitely return to Sandals. [/QUOTE]
