Sensation 1/7 Excursions

[spoon41]

So we are looking at the different excursions but are having trouble deciding. Can anyone provide some feedback? We have heard that in Jamaica, it's a must to do an excursion because otherwise it's not safe. We really just want to relax by a beautiful beach at both places, but there doesn't seem to be many options. Mostly it's go to the waterfall dunes, and maybe spend an hour at the beach, or hang out with turtles and sting rays. Any thoughts. We would like to be able to maybe do an excursion and hang out at the beach if possible, but we can't find anything that seems to do both.

I saw the bobsled, and it looks cool. But, do you know if there's a way to do the bobsled and still sneak in some beach time? I wouldn't want to travel all that way to get to the beautiful ocean and not be able to enjoy it. I'll check out the ports of call...thanks!

There is a beach at the Margaritaville in walking distance from the pier and is perfectly safe walking there. This is in Ocho Rios. So you don't need to book an excursion or even pay for a taxi.

We are taking our first cruise, Sensation on 1/7. In Ocho Rios we want to do both bobsled and the Falls ... is there an excursion that does both, or can both be fit into one stopover? I haven't found one that does Falls only, to potentially add on to the bobsled-only.

We decided on going with an off-boat excursion using Peat Taylor Tours. I read some good reviews and it's much more cost effective. Also, they will tailor your experience for what you want. We wanted to do an excursion but also wanted to have time to enjoy the beaches there. We bought one excursion that may take 2 - 3 hours, and then are going to two different beach bars to relax in the sun.
