Falmouth, Jamaica Port Reviews

We just shopped and ate in the plaza, but it was gorgeous and the weather was amazing.

Last minute decided to get a driver and go on an "excursion". I think the original plan was for her to take us to Doctors Cove or something like that, she actually ended up just driving us around and pointing out various information about the area and its history. She also brought us to this incredible local place for jerk chicken. Best food, oh my goodness! I think it may have been called Scottys. Awesome day, hit the lottery with that driver and we just went with the flow. Even though we never landed where we signed up, I think what we did was much better! Her name was D and she was a hoot!

Loved Dunn’s River Falls! Did not love Reggae Hill. We were waiting around ready to leave from the moment we got there. The food situation seemed sketchy.

We did an excursion to the Bamboo Beach Club in Saint Mary. We took a mini bus from the port to Saint Mary and had a guided talk by the 2 tour guides. The journey took about 45 minutes to get there. Beach was clean. I was expecting more facilities but it was adequate for the time we spent there. Sun loungers were comfy enough and we were served local food and drinks by the guides. There were a few stalls there selling local souvenirs and the obligatory photo of course. On the way back to port the bus stopped at a designated tourist shop but it was way overpriced and we felt a bit exploited so refused to buy anything there.

There wasn’t much to do other than an excursion and shops at the pier. We did the trolley tour, which was informative but not worth the money for it.

This is definitely a port to stay on the ship or book an excursion as there is very little to do around the port other than a nice, but small, shopping area adjacent to the port. Dunns River Falls is a pretty long ride from Falmouth but is still very much worth it if this is your port? Dunns River is a very short drive from Ocho Rios if you happen to port there?

Super fun, took and excursion that would show us around. When to an old church, drove to Montego Bay. Our tour guide bought us sugar cane to try. It was delicious. We also tried their rum cake, and coffee too. Had time to shop and relax at Margaritaville for a bit before heading back to the ship. Oh we also go slammed with crazy rain. Tour guide said with was the aftermath of the 2017 hurricanes.

The shopping area is very pretty and close to the ship. Craft market is just the same old stuff you see in other ports, not very impressive. We didn’t take an excursion here so no feedback about the island itself.

We did the Dunn River Falls and Bamboo beach VIP tour. Our guide, Oshane was awesome. He really knew the area and history. We had a lot of fun climbing the falls and got great service at the beach club. I would recommend wearing water shoes at the beach. The water is rocky.

Better than our first time there. Merchants were much less aggressive and the port better developed. We did an island tour on a bus. Not too bad. To-do port.
