Take in lovely views of the Caribbean Sea on a panoramic drive through the city of Montego Bay.
View the historic Parish Church dedicated to the memory of St James the Great. Its limestone walls and bell tower were built in 1774.
Pause at Grandview for photos of your ship in port and the beautiful land- and seascapes. Watch for the international airport named after the second Prime Minister of Jamaica, Sir Donald Sangster, and catch a view of the Rose Hall Great House in the distance. In the Ironshore area, you will appreciate the contrast between residential communities with middle-class houses and the ostentatious display of architecture of the luxury homes nearby.
Enjoy some free time for shopping at Main Street and the Shoppes at Rose Hall. Duty-free items, including watches, crystal, Jamaican rum, and all manner of liquors and liqueurs, are available here. Cool off with a non-alcoholic tropical beverage at the Rum Yard.
Travel past the Hip Strip and Doctor's Cave Beach. The latter was once the playground of the rich and famous.
The unmistakable vibe of Jamaica comes to life at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville.
Head to the handicrafts market to shop for handmade Jamaican souvenirs, including straw hats and bags, wooden platters, handwoven straw items, musical instruments, beads, carved objects, wall hangings, and wood sculptures.
