You don't say what ship you will be on or what port the ship is docking at - Ocho Rios or Montego Bay?

I never got off the ship in Jamaica anymore. Back in the "old" days, I thought nothing of walking to the shops by myself. Not anymore, in fact there are now Police outside the terminals warning passengers not to go off by themselves.

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!
