I have been to Jamaica twice, once for a land vacation and once as a port call during a cruise. I recently thought that Jamaica was getting a bum rap, but the more I read of all the incidents and unstable situation in the capitol, I have to agree that the cruise lines should drop this country as a port stop. The dope/marijuana dealers are very aggressive, even in the shopping zones. I believe that the young females are just the "eye candy" to distract and lure tourist away from busy areas in order to rob them. Tourism has a major impact on the economy there, so if the cruise lines refuse to stop there maybe the government will get more serious in protecting tourist and locking up the drug dealers.
