Here's an article from Jamaican paper:

SCARY!!!

surprisingly I can't find message threads about it on the cruise sites?

Answer 2

wow - never heard of this and that is where im sailing this coming Thanksgiving too! Thanks for the information - it shows that we all need to be careful when traveling outside the U.S.

Answer 3

I never heard anything about it but really dont see how any cruise line can do much of anything. I have taken 5 cruises and have seen a lot of big scary men in uniforms with bigger scarier guns. All it makes me realize is that when I travel outside of the U.S. and Canada its a different world with different rules. I have heard from other people that Jamaica has had alot of issues with tourists
