You don't say what ship you will be on or what port the ship is docking at - Ocho Rios or Montego Bay?
If it's Ocho Rios, it is a long drive. Check out Port Information on this site or Trip Advisor.

When the road is finished, it will be a much nicer journey, but for the moment, if you are cruising into Ocho Rios, forget the raft excursion!
