daliflor Posted November 21, 2012 Author #51 Share Posted November 21, 2012 After that delicious LUNCH at Scotchies, we had only few minutes for 'siesta' as the driver arrived into Montego Bay's "Hip Strip" - Gloucester Avenue. Parking was easy to find - right across the street from the Margaritaville! Now Montego Bay's Margaritaville is only a short 10 minute ride from the cruise pier, so we had plenty of time to wonder around, enjoy drinks (remember? It's always HOT-HOT-HOT in Jamaica and hydration is key!) and did some shopping too! Other guests were arriving by sea aboard catamarans (that make regular stops at this Montego Bay hotspot).

daliflor Posted November 21, 2012 Author #52 Share Posted November 21, 2012 After being serenaded on the bamboo raft along Martha Brae River, we enjoyed 'the view' as we arrived at Montego Bay's hot spot! : - )) Montego Bay's Margaritaville is perfect for anyone looking for exciting entertainment, a lively, fun atmosphere, delicious food and fun concoctions. However, remember that the PRICES here are NOT the ones @ "Scotchies!" A popular attraction with both adults and children is the 120ft waterslide winding its way from the rooftop terrace above into the warm Caribbean below.

daliflor Posted November 21, 2012 Author #53 Share Posted November 21, 2012 A popular attraction is the 120ft waterslide, which winds its way from the rooftop terrace above into the warm Caribbean below. This also includes two giant water trampolines connected by a log cross, and the floating Margaritaville deck anchored offshore. On the upper level, there is open air dining and the upper deck that provides unparalleled views of the Caribbean Sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daliflor Posted November 21, 2012 Author #54 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Margaritaville is perfect for anyone looking for exciting entertainment, a lively, fun atmosphere, delicious food and fun concoctions! And remember: HYDRATE! And do not worry: you'll exercise going up the stairs for the restrooms - if need be! : - )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daliflor Posted November 21, 2012 Author #55 Share Posted November 21, 2012 MARGARITAVILLE was also the perfect spot to keep an eye on our Carnival's CONQUEST cruise ship docked in Montego Bay (by the Carnival's MAGIC): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daliflor Posted November 21, 2012 Author #59 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Our shore excursion in Montego Bay, Jamaica came finally to an end as we left Margaritaville, picking-up a nice couple from Louisiana (who got off with us at the Cruise Terminal/Pier that Wednesday afternoon): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daliflor Posted November 23, 2012 Author #60 Share Posted November 23, 2012 At the end of our shore excursion, the driver dropped us off at the same place where we were picked-up in the morning - the main cruise terminal in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Before heading to the free shuttle bus to get back to Carnival's Conquest, we did some last minute shopping and enjoyed a refreshing ice-cream cone too!

daliflor Posted November 23, 2012 Author #63 Share Posted November 23, 2012 As we returned to Carnival's Conquest cruise ship, we were in for a pleasant surprise: VIDEO (Drummers welcoming us back in Montego Bay, Jamaica): Ironically, there are over 25 types of drums in Jamaica but Jamaicans usually only use three types within their style of music.
