We don't like going there! In addition to an unsafe feeling ... I don't like the pier location nor the meeting area for shore excursions. It NOT " .... where I wanna be" !!!!

Have been there a few times -- HATE that port. A couple of years ago we even cancelled a cruise because Ocho Rios was taken off the itinerary and Montego Bay was subsituted.

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.
Links to lots of pics here:

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.
