The airport is a complete zoo, very hot with very low ceilings. The transportation to the ship was one haggle after another for tips. We did tour Parrot Jungle though and thought it was amazing! If you love birds or parrots, you MUST visit this place. Wonderful habitats and very hands-on. The shows were great - especially seeing free-flighted birds. You were able to hand feed everything.

$20.00 a day to park at the Cruise ship parking area.
first time there
This was our least favorite. Jamaica is a beautiful island, but the zipline tour we did wasn't that exciting, especially for $110. I'm not sure what I would have done instead. A friend went to the waterfalls and enjoyed it. We did have a little fun going to the market (not the one at the end of the dock, but if you take a left through town). It's shabby, but we negotiated a price that was a lot better than the ones in the other stores. Also, the salespeople are a bit aggressive and you have to say "I'm not interested" several times, but they're not rude, and you don't need to be rude to get them to leave you alone. Just be sure to bargain with them. The first price is always too high, and if you offer half of the initial price, you can get a much better deal. Probably not for everyone.
EZ in, EZ out.
crowded, hotels charge for parking
