I have been to Jamaica twice and both times I hated it. First time was due to the port having absolutely nothing there. Second time we took an excursion with staff that were so incompetent they sent us to 3 different buses before putting us on the right one, locking us out of the bus while at an outdoor shopping mall and then trying to get us to tip them. Love Cozumel and Grand Cayman but will stay on the boat next time we are in Jamaica.

We normally go to an all inclusive resort in Jamaica or stay on the boat. We Love the Cayman Islands. Star fish island was one of my favorites along with sting ray city.

I agree that people are very pushy in Jamaica, but we did the mystic mountain, bobsledding excursion and it was amazing!! You just need to say no thank you and keep moving! Once you stop or linger they pounce! 😂

Very pushy people there. One guy snuck up behind me and offered to sell me a joint. I told him "it takes balls to try to sell a joint to a policeman". He took off in a flash!

We loved Jamaica 🇯🇲...we had a blast zip lining and the people were very friendly and fun. Sorry you didn’t have a good experience there. Grand Cayman was amazing.

We liked Jamacia a lot and plan to return but we were on Royal C and they use a different port than Carnival does too

tammy 522 we took a ship sponsored 10 Best of Motego Bay that took us all over as a group and our tour guide taught us how to say No. Felt really safe and got to experience the port without all that hassle.

I said if we ever port in Jamaica again I’ll stay on ship. It was awful. Now I know why many stay aboard when at the port.
