funkymander1 Posted March 12, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I'm looking at two itineraries, one stops at Montego Bay and the other stops at Ocho Rios. I don't know if this is coincidence or normal, however the itinerary to Ocho Rios was cheaper. What are the pros and cons to each port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted March 12, 2008 #2 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I'm looking at two itineraries, one stops at Montego Bay and the other stops at Ocho Rios. I don't know if this is coincidence or normal, however the itinerary to Ocho Rios was cheaper. What are the pros and cons to each port? For me it's really a function of what you want to do in Jamaica... If you want to do Dunn's then Ocho is your best bet... If you want to go to Negril or party at the best of the Margaritavilles then you select Montego Bay... River rafting and zip lining are also very accessible through MoBay... What were you considering??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmfan Posted March 14, 2008 #3 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I prefer Ocho Rios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcprncss Posted March 14, 2008 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I have been to both. In Ocho Rios, we went to Dunns River and horseback riding. That was our honeymoon. We really enjoyed both excursions. It's something to do once, I don't think I will do it again. In Montego Bay, we went to an all-inclusive resort and got a day pass. It was a nice relaxing day at the beach, plenty of drinks and gorgeous water. It really depends on what you want to do. Someting adventureous or relaxing. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGBCruiser Posted March 16, 2008 #6 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I've been to both also and I think Ocho Rios was better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floflegs Posted March 16, 2008 #7 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Another vote for Ocho Rios. We did not feel comfortable in Mo Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise.freak Posted March 16, 2008 #8 Share Posted March 16, 2008 We preferred Mobay over Ocho Rios. However we did do the zip line in Ocho Rios and is was great:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmrnclrk Posted January 30, 2011 #9 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Can we get an updated perspective on the Ocho vs. MoBay dilemma? Doing the first bit of research for cruise number 3, which always starts with the itinerary. Carnival Conquest has the same itinerary, same price, just swaps out Ocho and MoBay every other trip it seems. Wife and I are early 20's and like to drink and enjoy the scenery. Please give your reasons why you prefer one over the other if you don't mind. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floflegs Posted January 30, 2011 #10 Share Posted January 30, 2011 It was the hassle on getting back on the ship at Mo Bay that totally put us off. What a scrum. However we did a great private trip from there to Mayfield Falls which were much less crowded than Dunns River Falls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
