Montego Bay, Jamaica Cruise Port

I heard a lot of negative things about Jamaica from anyone who had ever been before. "It's beautiful, BUT..." So I was very cautious and aware of our surroundings. We did the Martha Brae bamboo raft tour. It was absolutely beautiful. It took my breath away. We saw some pushy salespeople who waded out into the river to try to sell us trinkets, but it wasn't anything too intrusive. I never felt uncomfortable. Our raft captain Clive was very informative and showed us things in nature that I had never seen before. Afterwards they dropped us off for a very quick stop at a shopping area, and we bought a Red Stripe and a meat pie that was knock-your-socks-off good. Back at the port we did some shopping, which was very relaxed and felt safe. I hated to leave. I'd like to come back here and spend a week.

I have been to Jamaica, and yeah I plan on going back, everything is what you make of it. Wife and I really liked it, we went to Dr Coves beach which is a resort beach,for $7 we got a cab ride there, we could see the ship from the beach, it was nice we hit the water, and chilled on the beach met some people, did a little shopping, and got a cab back to ship for $5, the only thing everyone wants to sell you everything it can get annoying, we would mostly laugh, say no or we will be back, but it's their lively hood and you can haggle with them, my wife got some deals in gift shop and we got a cheaper cab. Looking forward to going back.

Had planned excursions with Carnival on one trip. Which was fantastic! And I have been back to Montego Bay and when in Port got a Driver/Van with friends we told him we wanted to go to a nice beach , get authentic jerk chicken, have Rum punch, do some shopping & make it back to the boat way before time no BS!!! It cost about $25 pp we had a great day, great food, and we were safe!

We loved Jamaica. Our excursion was tubing down a river. The gentleman who drove the van was a delight. He talked about Jamaica, its people, and its culture the entire time. He explained No Problem Mon meant there were no problems, just situations. My granddaughters brought this concept back to our family! Shrek helped us at the site where we tubed. What a gentleman. I needed extra assistance and he never made me feel that I was an imposition. In face, I was honored to be called Mother in that Jamaican accent. We will visit Jamaica in the future.
