gemz Posted December 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I would like to take my 80 yr old mother on a short (no more than 4 hrs) bus tour to see the beauty of Jamaica. I have only been to Ocho Rios and I thought it showed me a nice overview of the beauty driving through Fern Gulley, mountainous scenery and Dunns River Falls. We do not want to include any beaches but just a nice leisurely bus trip. We won't be climbing Dunns River Falls either but just to take a look. From pictures, Montego Bay looks flatter with newer resorts and I'm not sure if Montego Bay is as scenic as Ocho Rios. We have been to Eastern Caribbean many times but I would like to show my mother how different Jamaica is compared to St. Martin, St. Thomas and San Juan. Where would you recommend Ocho Rios or Montego Bay? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coralc Posted December 27, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) Either one is about an hour from Falmouth....which is where Royal Caribbean primarily docks now. They built the port, and that is where they usually port. (even if your itinerary says otherwise) There is probably a highlights tour available from Falmouth, Jamaica. :) I think heading in the direction of Ocho Rios is probably prettier.

Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted December 27, 2014 #3 Share Posted December 27, 2014 It depends on the ship what port you will use. Liberty of the Seas has been using Ocho Rios this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemz Posted December 28, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Thank you everyone! We're on Allure of the Seas so docking in Falmouth. Ocho Rios sounds like the place to head to. Thanks again for all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsfuzzmo Posted December 29, 2014 #6 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Ocho Rios area is much prettier (IMO) than heading toward Montego Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
