Ports of call

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

5 out of 5

We went shopping and eat. During our walk to a close by shopping mall, many workers (cab drivers) try to sell us excursions. It was annoying after a while since so many of them try to sell the same thing. You have to keep saying "No" to different people.

We went to the straw markets and shop for an hour. We went back to the ship to enjoy the pool and water slides. No line for the water slides.
