pma29223 Posted April 6, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I know that Carnival goes to Ocho Rios Jamaica, but does anyone know if they go to Kingston or Montego Bay also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenMo Posted April 6, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I believe the cruises out of Galveston go to Mo Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamartha Posted April 6, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 6, 2014 We are booked on the Dream sailing from New Orleans over Halloween (203 days out!!). Montego Bay is one of the stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gay head Posted April 6, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Montego bay is the best in Jamaica. You can go to doctors beach for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovestocruise19 Posted April 7, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Carnival goes to Ocho Rios, Montego Bay and Falmouth in Jamaica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjcruiser Posted April 7, 2014 #9 Share Posted April 7, 2014 They go to Ochos Rios and MoBay. I don't think anyone goes to Kingston due to the gang activity and violence which receives state department travel warnings/advisories often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZmike480 Posted April 7, 2014 #10 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I havent seen an ocho rios stop on Carnival, thanks for that info. Me personally I'm not a fan of Jamaica. AZmike480 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Shoes2Go Posted April 7, 2014 #11 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Montego Bay is beautiful. We would stay on the ship if we were in any other port in Jamaica. Even still, we would go with a Carnival excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnTnSA Posted April 7, 2014 #12 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) I know that Carnival goes to Ocho Rios Jamaica, but does anyone know if they go to Kingston or Montego Bay also? Kingston definitely isn't a tourist port. I would probably avoid it unless you are feeling very adventurous. Montego Bay is quite nice, and yes, cruises stop there all the time. I am one of the few that really love Jamaica. I wouldn't go to Kingston. Edited April 7, 2014 by EnTnSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticks1 Posted April 7, 2014 #13 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) I have been to Montego Bay on Carnival (our first cruise) and I would suggest researching what you do there. If the port area is still like it was back then, it is not an area that you would want to walk around in. We went to Falmouth, Jamaica on RCI and loved our time there. It is a new port area with lots of nice shops and things. We visited there in the first couple of weeks the port was open on Freedom of the Seas. Everyone in the town seemed to come down to the pier area to wave when we left port. Live music and dancing on the pier as we pulled off. I would like to go back there but have no desire to visit Montego Bay again. Edited April 7, 2014 by Mysticks1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YubaSutter Posted April 7, 2014 #14 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Montego bay is the best in Jamaica. You can go to doctors beach for the day. MoBay is alright, but nothing like Negril. I can't wait to go back so I can see the sunset from Rick's Cafe and go cliff jumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted April 7, 2014 #15 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I don't think anyone goes to Kingston due to the gang activity and violence which receives state department travel warnings/advisories often. Exactly! Kingston is not a good place for tourist to go. LuLu ~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throwdownmyace Posted April 7, 2014 #17 Share Posted April 7, 2014 As a frequent visitor to Kingston for work, it has gotten a lot better in the past three years since the arrest, killings, extradition of the drug lords. There are some nice restaurants including Usain Bolt's and the lovely Terra Nova hotel. But it's a business town.. However, Negril is most wonderful....

Pyrate13 Posted April 7, 2014 #18 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Like some of the other posters, I wouldn't even get off the ship in Montego Bay if we went there again, but that's just me. Could not care less about the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au1999 Posted April 7, 2014 #19 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'm sailing from New Orleans to Montego Bay on May 4. We'll be on the same boat. I assume by your user ID and location you're an Auburn fan? Good to know there be more of us on the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheckersMidwest Posted April 8, 2014 #20 Share Posted April 8, 2014 We were on the Carnival Freedom last summer and stopped at Ocho Rios. Agreed on Kingston - when we visited on a land vacation, we were told to stay away from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kfoot Posted April 8, 2014 #22 Share Posted April 8, 2014 No cruise ship goes to Kingston. It's not a resort town. Also quite a drive from Ochoa Rios, Falmouth and MoBay. Luv, luv Negril. Only a pity the south coast is so far away and not equip for cruis ships. That's the most beautiful part of the island. Unspoiled, natural beauty. No big chain hotels. But instead small chic hotels. True beauty of the island is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
