In addition to an unsafe feeling ... I don't like the pier location nor the meeting area for shore excursions.

I like Mobay. Never felt unsafe. No problem, Mon. Last time there was Nov 2007.
Love Jerk anything and Jamaica patties and Red Stripe, and ... .
Hi ZY! Please tell us what you did in MoBay ... excursion (either ship or independent) or did you just roam around on your own?

Last time in MoBay (No 2007), I just went on my own to Sunset Beach Resort. Parts of it were under renovation, but all that should have been completed long ago.
The cost is $40pp and I think there is a child rate. They do accept credit cards.
For the $40 you get an all inclusive experience with food, booze, beer, several beaches including a nude one! It used to be $20 but jumped to $40 when they added a water park complete with water slides, lazy river, etc.
I thought the snorkeling was decent and saw lots of things including some reef squid which fascinate me.
It is perfectly safe. I took a taxi there, but ended up just walking back to the ship in a light rain, which was kind of surreal. A few years ago, some friends on a cruise renewed their wedding vows there which some people might be interested in.
"If cruise lines sold liquor at reasonable prices, they would make more money and my suitcase wouldn't weigh so much."
I has been a number of years since we have been to either port in Jamaca.
The last couple times we have just stayed on the ship.
Thinks may have changed but the last time we went ashore we were approched a number of times by people selling drugs.
We are going to Ochos Rios in September but at this time I do not know if we will go ashore.
