filbo132 Posted March 10, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I booked my cruise with NCL Epic next week and I already chose my two excursions for Cozumel and Costa Maya through NCL....However, I have no clue for Jamaica on which one to chose, I want an excursion in which I feel safe, will have fun, won't have many vendors...for sure I will be booking through with NCL (I feel more secure going with a group). So far I like the Aqua Tubing w beach or River's Dunn fall w beach. I am leaning more towards Aqua Tubing, because many people comment about the vendors at River's Dunn fall....anyone have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a good excursion, I had fun. I also felt safe. Just part of the group, rather that being singled out as a solo cruiser. I do not really enjoy beach excursions as a solo. Kind of isolating for me personally. No one to watch my stuff on the beach... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love relaxing at the beach, I don't mind leaving my stuff on the beach either, it's not like I have anything valuable to bring, I usually keep my stuff with me even when im in the water. I put my stuff in a waterproof plastic that I keep in my pockets, so that does not worry me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zephyrgirl Posted March 12, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I've done a Dunn River Falls excursion solo (was staying at an AI, so not with a cruise line). I thought it was fun and felt fine doing it solo, there's a guide assigned to each group going up the falls so you are with a group the whole time. At the end of the climb yes there are vendors. I didn't find it difficult to just walk past them. I generally find vendors to be a hassle but not intimidating, but I also live in NYC and am pretty used to people asking me for stuff on the street and subway all the time. I would have felt like I missed out on something had I not done Dunn River Falls as it's one of the highlights in Jamaica IMO. Tubing you can do anywhere. Just my two cents :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justbreezing Posted June 5, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Jamaica is a poverty stricken country. I wouldn't venture out alone anywhere in Jamaica. Also be careful about paying. Use cash. I used my credit card in a port store in Montego Bay in March to buy jerk chicken sauce and a rum cake.In June my credit card company called and inquired about suspicious charges. They were not mine and when investigated the charges were made at a resort in Jamaica and another on line. You would think a port store would at least be safe, but don't trust anyone in Jamaica if you don't want to regret it. Have a great trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
