Would rather have a colonoscopy without a sedative than to sail again on this ship

I agree about Ocho Rios, we did Dunn’s River and The Bobsled run, but the town itself is sketchy as hell

Are these ports really that bad or were they marked down because the reviewer didn’t like the ship. Genuinely interested for future cruises as I know nothing about any of the places mentioned!

Wow, your sail date was Feb 2020 and you had such a horrible pre-Pandemic experience? Colonoscopy without a sedative (anesthesia, maybe?)? That's brutal 😳

Ocho Rios is a great chance to stay on the boat... the hounding is just too aggressive

Sorry to hear that this ship didn’t meet your expectations. It’s possible that the beginning of the Covid situation made this cruise less than par.
