Rare babs135 Posted July 16, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Just looked at a Port to Port video about Ocho Rios and the presenter was quite adamant that this was definitely the one place you should take the ship excursion in order to make sure you were back in time.

jdshaw1000 Posted July 16, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Is your port Ocho Rios or Montego Bay? If it's the former - no. If it's the later - yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted July 16, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Is your port Ocho Rios or Montego Bay? If it's the former - no. If it's the later - yes. Basically, agree with the above. Much depends on where in Jamaica you'll be docked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare babs135 Posted July 17, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Ocho Rios. So we are basically 'safe' to do our own thing with the time constraints of the ship boarding time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikolajk Posted July 18, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 18, 2017 We went to Montego Bay on a Carnival cruise two years ago. We went to a resort for the day, it was great, it was really expensive and other than the shuttle ride there we saw none of Jamaica. The ship was held for several hours past the sailing time because there was a fatality car accident and traffic was backed up literally for hours. Jamaica seemed sketchy. This December when we stop for our next cruise at Montego Bay, we will for sure book a cruise sponsored excursion due to what we saw last time. They held the ship for those individuals on the cruise excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your thoughts please I will go ahead and disagree. Just keep track of time. Porting in Ocho Rios is awesome because you are close to all the "good stuff" from the port. (DRF, Blue Hole, White River, Mystic Mountain - for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
