My one time in Jamaica was back in 1994 while on the Sensation. I will agree with the above. We were docked in Ochos Rios and had a ship's excursion to Dunns Rivers Falls in the afternoon. We were going to take a taxi into town to do shopping in the morning and my hubby was talking to the driver on the way. At some point a tour was negotiated. Derby (or Herby, I can't remember) took us around, up into the mountains, showed us vegetation, showed us the shanties that the townspeople lived. He took us to an overlook for taking photos of the beach below. On the way to the marketplace, he offered ganja, but of course we turned him down. He came back at the agree time to pick us up after shopping and took us back to the ship.
What I would have loved doing was going the 11 miles or so to Goldeneye. That was the home of Ian Fleming when he wrote the James Bond books (some of Dr. No was shot around DRFs). You can tour there (or at least at that time you could). And nearby is also Firefly, Noel Coward's Jamaica home.
