We had a balcony room and the bed pointed toward the slider. It was awesome waking up to the ocean view being the first thing you see.

Ports of call

Montego Bay, Jamaica

I have no interest in visiting again. There is no where to walk to from the port, so your stuck finding a taxi. We asked where to go for a taxi and we were directed to a van (we thought was a shuttle service) to head to a near by beach. Once on the road, we were told it was a tour and if we didn’t pay more for the tour, we didn’t get a ride back to the port. We decided to just go with it since they promised we would get to see the heart of Jamaica. Instead, we endured several “shopping” stops to get our fill of cheap souvenirs made from China and then we were dropped off at a beach with an entry fee. We hung out at the beach that was covered in litter, broken glass, and pushy vendors. While we waited for our van to return to pick us up, I ended up walking around picking up trash on the beach (lots of plastic bags) as this area was known to have endangered species of turtles

Our ship boarding was delayed because of fog, so we had hours to kill. Because it was a Sunday, we couldn’t buy a beer while we waited. All the shops around were also closed. We ended up just sitting on a curb twiddling our thumbs for five hours.

Not much culture to experience. It was mostly streets lined with shops selling souvenirs and banks.

We had a bast here. We went horseback riding through Mayan ruins and got to see some of the most interesting animals and plants along the way.

Sevensails,I totally understand. We are booking with most of our kids and grandkids in fall of 2022.With that many going we will be looking for inexpensive ways to maneuver the ports.

Mary0909, Unfortunately we were traveling with friends that had a strict budget, so we didn’t want them to feel pressured to pay for excursions they couldn’t afford. But, lesson learned about winging it. Just don’t. Lol

Too bad you didn't plan your excursions. We had a great time in Jamaica and Grand Cayman but went on ship sponsored tours in both ports. We really enjoyed the turtle farm and swimming with the stingrays in Grand Cayman. And our tour guide in Jamaica taught us how to avoid the drug dealers in Jamaica.

Sounds like a great trip, minus the fog, and Jamaica.
