Planning On Going to Jamaica; Thinking Of Carnival Cruise Lines...?

Question

hello everyone--

has anyone traveled to jamaica through carnival cruise lines? I have traveled with them 2 times already and i really do love it and feel comfortable booking only through them. Im thinking about 7 days.

So i was wondering if anyone has gone to jamaica; if so what state did you embark from and how many days? And how did you like it?

Thanks a lot!!!

Answer 1

I can only say: One Love, Jamaica.

I went with Carnival Freedom. Left from Miami for 7 nights. Ports to call were Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Ocho Rios. Unfortunately, we had only 5 hours in Ocho Rios. This was way to short! From all the ports to call I liked Jamaica best! Didn´t want to go back on the ship ... I´ll go back very soon.

Answer 2

also went w carnival--the triumph out of miami 7 days. caymen, cozumel, ocho rios. did the falls--a must! do it on your own just take a cab it will be cheaper and u can get there first thing before all the tour bus get there--you'll have the falls to yourself..beautiful.you pay a small fee to go in the park. wouldnt reccomend doing anything else on your own. kinda dangerous-pretty sure thats y ship doesnt stay past dark.  we loved it! we also went to bob marleys house (not on a tour bus-which if i go again i will go on the bus carnival offered) herad the bus was a ton of fun-reggea music the whole way up mountain..liqor drinks..and they stop at rd side shops on the way..the even stop so u can buy joints! lol.  we took a taxi up to the house..it was a lil scarey our cab driver kept trying to take us to see some crops and we were in the boonies.we didnt want to go.  once u get to bobs thre is a fence around it locking you in or rather locking the locals out..they are drug dealers and kinda intimidating..but they will sell u a joint over the fence for 5-10 bucks. you can smoke it in there. when we left the cab rolled all windows down and stopped just outside gates and we basically had to buy a bag of weed from this scarey dude w a machete. but if we would have gone w the tour bus we would have had no worries!!! so take a tour! bobs house was really cool.

Answer 3

YES, CARNIVAL LIBERTY 2007/ EMBARKED FROM FT.LAUDERDALE . 7 DAYS   CAYMEN ISLANDS,  KEY WEST AND OCHO RIOS .. IT WAS A WONDERFUL EXERPIENCE. I LOVED IT.  CAN NOT WAIT TO GO ON ANOTHER ONE.

Answer 4

Left out of the port of New Orleans.

Had a great time.  Cruise was all inclusive except for gambling and gifts.

Jamaica shopping is fun but do not just wander off and try shopping on your own.  Stick to the assigned shopping areas.  Our cruise had a lady that worked for the cruise line, and she would go into the shopping areas and help get the prices down.

Step into a shop and they offer you a drink of Wine or Beer, or a soft drink if you want one.

We did quite well buying jewelry.

If you have time, Dunn's River Falls is fun.  You can climb them to the top, but be careful, the rocks are slippery.  They have spots where you can leave the falls if you get tired.

Kingston is no place to visit.  Very poor and dangerous crime rate.

The two other times we went, we stayed at All Inclusive Resorts.

Have fun and a safe trip.  I envy you, I'm wanting to get back and visit Jamaica.
