madisonswims Posted March 11, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) We are thinking about booking a cruise which includes Jamaica on the itinerary. Which port to you recommend, and why? Thanks so much for your recommendations!!! I really appreciate it! Edited March 11, 2015 by madisonswims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brookie848 Posted March 11, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 11, 2015 We docked in Ocho Rios last week. When we talked with our tour guide, they said more and more ships are docking in Falmouth for a variety of reasons. However, it is interesting to note that most of the attractions (Dunn's River, Blue Hole, bobsleds) are closer to Ocho Rios. If you want to cut down on travel time once you are off the ship, consider booking a cruise that stops in Ocho Rios rather than Falmouth/Montego Bay. I would consider doing a bit of research regarding what you would like to do in Jamaica and then see which port meets your requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted March 12, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Lots depends on where you want to go in Jamaica and how many times you've already been there. This makes a BIT difference. At this point the port area (within the gates) in Falmouth works fine for us. :) LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madisonswims Posted March 14, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Thank you all. We are taking two teenage girls. We are cruising out of Galveston and cannot find a shop that goes to Ochoa Rios. It appears that only Royal Caribbean goes to Falmouth. Is that correct? Maybe we can zip line from Falmouth. I'd love to know what you think is best to do in Falmouth. Thank you for your recommendations and advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
