We never feel totally safe in Jamaica and we have traveled the world.

 

We'll only do organized tours there or stay on the ship.

Thanks, that was our feeling too, but thought I'd put it out there for others that have been.

Just heard on the radio this morning that the Canadian Govt has put out a travel advisory for Jamaica due the high level of violence. We are scheduled to be in port in Ocho Rios on February 15th. We've never been to Jamaica before and are quite looking forward to it. We always find our own activities and excursions independent from the cruise line, but are quite concerned now about our safety in this port. Any advise?

Thanks for the responses with the pictures, it does help. The ladder apparatus is definitely there, but no where as bad as I thought it would be. I guess we'll see once we're on the ship...I will be taking pictures to post for this specific cabin for anyone else in the future.

My husband and myself, as well as his two brothers and their wives have booked a cruise for this coming January on Serenade of the Seas. We were not told that the 3 staterooms we booked have obstructed balconies, we found out after booking on deckplans.com. We have tried to change staterooms, but the cruise is sold out. Has anyone stayed in #8162 or one of the 8th floor balcony staterooms that has the ladder/window cleaning aparatus, and how bad is the obstruction? We've been told that it is a 70% obstruction for 2 of the staterooms and 20% obstruction for the other. Pictures? Thanks

Thank you, very very new to this...
