I would like to hear any comments about the Bar Hop as well

I have been to both. Nachi once, and Mr. Sancho's twice. I really enjoyed Sancho's much more than Nachi.

Maybe I caught Nachi on a bad day....But, I don't think I'll go there again. For myself Mr. Sancho's was just so much more fun.

Whichever you choose, have a great time!!

thank you so much for the tips Sargent. I appreciate it as it will be our first time in Jamaica.

One more question...I will be able to stay on the shuttle and not be made to get off at the end of the loop if I want to just see all the stops and then go back to one.

A cab may just be easier....

You could walk to any of them from the ship if you can say no to vendors.

 

The shuttle only goes along the main drag on Montego Bay so you won't see much of the island. It does go a ways on the other side of Drs Cave.

 

Pork Pit is closest to the ship, then Margaritaville, then Doctor's Cave so you would pass Margaritaville on the way to Port Pit from Drs Cave.

 

What you are thinking of is doable, but personally I would either

 

a) take a taxi to Dr Cave, then walk to Margaritaville, then negotiate a price with a taxi to take you back to the ship, stopping off at Pork Pit to pick up some food to go.

 

or

 

b) Take the shuttle bus to the end and back to Dr's Cave and then proceed as above.

 

In the cruise terminal at Montego Bay there is a tourist information booth that should be able to give you a pocket map and point out where everything is, advise you on taxis and costs, and the shuttle bus, too.

 

I think it cost me $10 one time to get a taxi at the cruise terminal to take me to the Pork Pit, wait while I got some food to go, and then take me back to the ship. Early in the day they might want more, but as it gets later, they know tourists will be fewer and fewer and not many at all once the cruise ships leave for the evening.

Thanks for posting the pics Sargent Schults!! Do you think I could walk to the Pork Pit from Doctors Cave? My plan is to get on the Hop On and ride around seeing the island, then go to Doctors Cave for a bit, walk to Pork Pit for lunch, then Margaritaville for some drinks before taking the Shuttle back to the ship. Does anyone think this is Do-able?

The shuttle doesn't stop at Port Pit but you do drive by it.

 

I took it the distance to the Rose Hall Shops and then walked to the Rose Hall Great House and took a tour. I thought the whole adventure was great.

Thanks for the information! I think this will be our best bet :o I appreciate the help!!

Has anyoned used the Hop On Hop Off Shuttle in Montego Bay? I heard somewhere that you use your Sail & Sign for this. Just wondering if that was true and if it's a good way to get around. It will be our first time in Jamaica in September and I was thinking of using it to go to Doctors Cave, Margaritaville, Pork Pit and just to see a little of the island.

I appreciate any information I can get on this, Thanks ;)

We are sailing on the September 9th cruise.
