Either way, whether to stay onboard or not is up to you. We love Jamaica and visit whenever we get a chance - beaches, food, Martha Brae River raft trip is fun, plantation tours, Rose Hall and so on..

Rare CineGraphic Posted July 12, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 12, 2016 If you've seen everything you need to see, stay on board, and enjoy the ship. It's less crowded, and significantly quieter, except for the MUTS screen which is always showing a movie or concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsmac3 Posted July 12, 2016 #4 Share Posted July 12, 2016 If it is still offered, I recommend the tour to the Bob Marley cultural museum and mausoleum . . . a great tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmckm Posted July 12, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 12, 2016 If you enjoy being hounded to buy tours with a simple no not working being hassled for blocks, get off and go for a walk.You are taxed high on everything you buy. I have no use for the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moki'smommy Posted July 13, 2016 #12 Share Posted July 13, 2016 OP has a misprint. They are either going to Montego Bay, Jamaica or Mahogany Bay, Roatan. We are honestly not sure which port they are visiting...and the replies are all mixed up as to which they apply to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted July 13, 2016 #13 Share Posted July 13, 2016 There is indeed a Mahogany Bay and beach in Jamaica. I know, I've been there and there were a lot of locals there. I wouldn't recommend it simply because the water had a ton of moss in it. Felt like swimming in a lake. If you just want to lay out and relax, it's fine for that. There's a beach bar, snacks, etc. there as well. Getting off in Montego Bay is totally up to you. That's what's so nice about cruises - do what you want! :) We had a really good time taking the chairlift up to Mystic Mountain. You can get great shots of the ship from it and you pass by massive spiders as big as your hand :eek: clinging to the plants at a safe distance. The bobsleds were fun too. Definitely worth doing once IMO. If you've done all the usual stuff (Rose Hall, Martha Brae rafting, Dunn's Falls, etc.), then try Mystic Mountain if you still want to get off the ship.

neverbeenhere Posted July 13, 2016 #14 Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) You must take 2 minutes and 45 seconds of your life to watch the Bobby Bloom youtube "video" of Montego Bay. That's 2 minutes and 45 seconds you will never get back. Edited July 13, 2016 by neverbeenhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rguy123 Posted July 13, 2016 #15 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Spent a week in Montego Bay once, was ready to leave after 1 day. Now we never get off a ship there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted July 13, 2016 #16 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Mahogany Bay is in ROATAN. Correct MONTEGO BAY is in Jamaica. Correct Chair lift is in ROATAN. Correct Sent from my iPhone using Forums There is also a Mahogany Bay in Jamaica, with a chair lift. See post #5 for a video. It is a Carnival Corp. operation, so it is highly probable that the OP is indeed stopping there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WupperAV Posted July 13, 2016 #17 Share Posted July 13, 2016 We took a Cataraman tour and it was quite enjoyable. No hounding except fishermen selling fish which you can't buy anyway. The crew were very freindly and told us a lot, rained but 85 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our excursion was to a water park, that was frequented by real low life Brits(you had to be there!) We then went to the shops at the bay area. On the way you could see stoned people everywhere. The hawkers were extremely aggressive to the point some of us were a bit scared. Being a gay couple, there's other things to fear in a homophobic place like that. Next time if we're in the area. we'll do a spa day on the ship. Much safer & more enjoyable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satxdiver Posted July 14, 2016 #25 Share Posted July 14, 2016 We unfortunately have been to MoBay Jamaica several times on cruises that we otherwise enjoyed. Sometimes you have to take the bad with the good. Every time we have been in port in Jamaica we have stayed on the ship and had a great time on an almost empty ship. Our first cruise to MoBay Jamaica was on an RCCL ship and that time over half the pax stayed on the ship. It was almost like a sea day! All other times the ships were fairly empty as the pax went ashore. We try to stay away from Jamaica if at all possible but the port, timing and other ports sometimes interferes. I see that the OP decided to stay on the ship. I hope they have a good time while others go ashore to be hassled and mistreated. JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
