Hey guys. Maybe I’m seeing things. Saw stuff floating in the pool. The waterfalls and zip line looks cool. Lad it’s a cozy spot. Food ok. Never heard of alcohol removed wine. That is awesome and chocolate 🍫 covered strawberries 🍓. Must be nice meeting your subscribers indeed. Thanks for sharing and see you next video.
Happy you enjoyed my homeland! Nice to learn about an excursion we haven't yet done... Good Hope Estate! With the jerk chicken, that's festival, not cornbread. In Jamaica, we say rice and peas. It's cooked and tastes differently than Spanish rice and beans. Yes, as we say, Jamaica nice! 🖤💚💛
Me and my husband were on this sailing and excursion! What a small world. My husband was fascinated with all your equipment and asked about it! Super cool. This was our first Royal Caribbean cruise.
As cruisers just getting into the game, we stumbled upon your channel. Thanks so much for highlighting my beautiful island but they are not cornbreads....they are festivals. They are fried and not baked like cornbread. Also, when you're in Jamaica, it's rice and peas and not beans and rice. Great video, however!
Screaming Rice and PEAS Griff!!! Rice and PEASSS 🤣. Not even gonna touch on the "cornbread" debacle 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Nice to see you guys enjoying my island. Definitely makes me miss it. Thanks for contributing to the local tours 💜
So happy that you are having a wonderful time in Jamaica 🇯🇲. . I think you had festival, not cornbread. Any enjoy your trip and be safe. I am a Jamaican living in the United States so I am happy to see you having fun.
Glad you enjoyed it. i held my breath when i saw your title "rude awakening" Good hope is one of my favourite local places to take people who are visiting. It was an old sugar plantation so if you are interested in history the great house tour is good. I also love to take visitors to YS falls and the black river safari but have no idea how people would get there from a cruise ship
Its actually called Rice and Peas (not beans and rice as most Americans call it), and festival is not cornbread, its made with flour and just a little bit of cornmeal in it before being fried in hot oil
@@GriffandAlyssa I am so sorry they confused you with that...I know hispanics and other countries in the americas with a similar side item called theirs "beans and rice" so they just went along to make it easier (which honestly I have done that as well) but the I am definitely confused about the cornbread part, if you went to any other restaurant in Jamaica and asked for cornbread they would tell you "we don't carry that" cornbread is not even a common staple in Jamaica,but "Festival as well as Fried Dumplings" are a Jamaican staple for more decades upon decades. .....Love you channel though guys..keep up the good work
Wauw looked a lovely place to hang out in ,food looked so yummy. Love chicken . That was an awesome gift to get ❤️ nothing beats. Chocolate coated. Strawberries 😜 Have a good weekend 🥰
Loved the video. We have been to Jamaica quite a few times over the years since 1988. Been up Dunns River Falls multiple times. We are usually on Liberty of the Seas when we dock at Falmouth. We do miss Ocho Rios thou. We now just hang out at the pier area and shop and eat at one of the restaurants. This place you guys went to does interest us and we will probably go there next time. What is the name of the place again?
We hung out at Margaritaville & ate cheeseburgers in paradise. Bought "rastaman" magnets and some paintings from the local artists. And yes it was hot.
Jamaica SHOCKED us this round. I love when my expectations are shattered. If you think you’re not gonna have a good time here…you’re in for a rude awakening 😉
Where did you get your dress? Im going on a cruise to Bahamas(CocoKay), Jamaica (Falmouth), & Haiti (Labadee) for the week of Christmas & would LOVE that dress. Hope all is well with baby & family, God bless 🥰💜🫶🏽🙏🏽
We were on the Liberty and ported with you at Falmouth. Wish we'd been able to run into you. Loved this review of this excursion. Have to try this one the next time we're in Falmouth.
Thanks for sharing about this excursion. I would definitely consider it on my next non-resort trip to Jamaica. You were definitely eating festival not cornbread. Your mom may not appreciate that the elephant is green lol.
Cornbread - correctly described as “festival” by the Jamaican viewers …….this is the Jamaican version of “Hushpuppies” which has long been on the menu of Long Jong Silver’s, the fast food seafood chain. The taste is virtually indistinguishable, unless you’re a gourmet/food expert.
As about 1 million comments have said (lol), it's true that Jamaicans call it "Rice and Peas" but the funny thing is that it *usually* contains kidney beans not peas so you observed correctly! Anyway, glad you enjoyed your trip.
I’ve thinking about taking the Harmony on a 5-night cruise this spring. We always do ocean view balcony but they’re so pricey! Your balcony looked great
I have a few kids so we are always broke and we choose the inside cabin and fit four of us in it and then sit in the solarium deck chairs or the many other comfy chairs with windows and watch the sea all day from there.......You then save heaps of money so you can go on another trip.
@griff & alyssa what exactly was the excursion called that you went on to Good Hope Estate? Heading there soon and I do not see this as an optionin our excursion list with RC.
This was a great video and the drone B-rolls were awesome. Just a tid bit or an editing tip, the food you enjoyed was rice and peas not beans and rice.
I initially didn't pick this excursion for our November Harmony cruise because it's marked "strenuous". But after watching your video, we want to try it. It is really strenuous??
I notice you have some drone footage. Our papers from travel agent say we can’t fly drone on cruise and some islands prohibit from you flying as well. They will confiscate your drone on the ship. How did you circumvent this?
How do you look after all your personal property when going off for a walk. We are cruising in November and have invested in some waterproof waist packs.
Since I know you have camera equipment, etc with you, did you feel safe with it or always keep it with you? We are going in March and are considering this excursion and I like to take my Nikon with me to get better pictures, but with all the reports of crime, etc on Jamaica, I wasn't sure if I should leave it on the ship and just use my phone. Also, I'm assuming the restaurant accepted cards?
thats only the cruise ship falmouth. for the real falmouth it needs a little braveness, but its worth it. not only cus of the ital soup at the water square 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋

I thought the same!
Yah mon! 🇯🇲 Rice and Peas - Festival - Big up, JA! See you next reach in Negril - Happy Cruising🥂
Me and my husband were on this sailing and excursion! What a small world. My husband was fascinated with all your equipment and asked about it! Super cool. This was our first Royal Caribbean cruise.
What is the name of the place?
So happy you enjoyed my island home. Good Hope is so beautiful. Love it there. Thanks for sharing.😎
Its crazy, how they built a cruise dock right in the town i grew up i lived at the bottom of the mountains in the background, where its hot

Welcome to 'the game'!
@@FraserAtSea I thank you!
Here in the south we fry cornbread, but Jamaica's festivals look different than our fried cornbread.
I've lived in the South for 40 years and our cornbread is always fried.
Great video even though she’s wrong about all the food?
We enjoyed Good Hope - we did the estate, not the water or other attractions. The building with the food is so nice and the food is great
Screaming Rice and PEAS Griff!!! Rice and PEASSS 🤣. Not even gonna touch on the "cornbread" debacle 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Nice to see you guys enjoying my island. Definitely makes me miss it. Thanks for contributing to the local tours 💜
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We haven’t been in Falmouth in years! Apparently they are starting to go back! We liked it when we were there!
6:43 it’s not cornbread, it’s Festival (like you said before) 🇯🇲
So happy that you are having a wonderful time in Jamaica 🇯🇲. . I think you had festival, not cornbread. Any enjoy your trip and be safe. I am a Jamaican living in the United States so I am happy to see you having fun.
EXACTLY! Not cornbread no beans, peas.
Glad you enjoyed it. i held my breath when i saw your title "rude awakening"

8:14 me too, as they are 1 of my totem animals + I collect elephant & Ganesh figurines 🐘
Me and my wife went on the zip line tour when we were there very fun. The guides were more than friendly.
You guys did a great Job...well done. The "cornbread" is really called "Festival". I enjoyed watching this.
Festival is so NOT the same as corn bread!
Thank you so much for the review of Good Hope. Hoping my sailing adds this to our sailing in March. Alyssa I love the cover up!
My husband and I are taking this cruise in April I’m so glad I found your channel. Congratulations on the baby 🥰
Amazing video was the excursion through the cruiseline
Its actually called Rice and Peas (not beans and rice as most Americans call it), and festival is not cornbread, its made with flour and just a little bit of cornmeal in it before being fried in hot oil
They called it rice in beans with cornbread tho…I’m so confused

@IslandSPACE so are they actual peas or beans?
Glad to hear you will be cruising with baby G
When we visit Falmouth, we always buy Blue Mountain Coffee.
I agree and although I buy it here from time to time
But it never tasted the same.
So blue mountain coffee is Jamaican coffee?
As I tell my husband all the time, it is rice and peas not beans and rice and festival is not cornbread. From a Jamaican 😊. Love you guys!
It looks beautiful there! You look great Alyssa.
It’s best to book a shore excursion thru your cruise line when calling in Jamaica because it’s safer than exploring independently.
This excursion looks great fun - what a beautiful little spot with the river!
I cruised last week with my six month old and we are going again in Nov
It’s different but still awesome 😎
Hey Griff and Allysa, I couldn’t quite make out what that excursion was. Congrats on the birth of your baby!❤🎉
I want to go home 😭😭😭😭 enjoy...look at the water, home sweet home 🏡
Wow nice scerny Jamaica is beautiful. My mother in law loves elephants too. Take care pam&gus
Wauw looked a lovely place to hang out in ,food looked so yummy. Love chicken .
That was an awesome gift to get ❤️ nothing beats. Chocolate coated. Strawberries 😜
Have a good weekend 🥰
Love Jamaica as well.

Thanks!
Chukka at Good Hope
Great vid. Will remember this next time in Falmouth. Not a Delta but I love elephants.

Hi guys. Whts the excursion info PLEASE??
@@deidresmith9698 Good Hope Estate. through royal Caribbean =)

The place
@@GriffandAlyssathank you! Trying to pick our excursion as Jamaica can be a bust if you don't do your homework.
Where did you get your dress? Im going on a cruise to Bahamas(CocoKay), Jamaica (Falmouth), & Haiti (Labadee) for the week of Christmas & would LOVE that dress. Hope all is well with baby & family, God bless 🥰💜🫶🏽🙏🏽

Most definitely!
Love you guys channel. I’ll be cruising with RC on the Harmony of the Sea right after the New Year you guys channel is helping me out ALOT‼️
THANKS 👍🏾
Looks like an elephant weed pipe you were looking at for your folks 😆
Great video! How did you get your drone on the ship and even better.. use it.. I thought ships didn't allow drones ...
Great video will definitely add this location to a list of potential excursions for us next time we port there. Great work!

Congratulations on the Babino good video. Cheers
This was my favorite spot!!!! The staff was great!!!
Saw your video, everything looked great!
Just wondering what the “rude awakening” thing was.
😂the “corn bread” is called Festival. It is made with flour and yes a little sugar is added and it is deep fried
I’ve thinking about taking the Harmony on a 5-night cruise this spring. We always do ocean view balcony but they’re so pricey! Your balcony looked great
I have a few kids so we are always broke and we choose the inside cabin and fit four of us in it and then sit in the solarium deck chairs or the many other comfy chairs with windows and watch the sea all day from there.......You then save heaps of money so you can go on another trip.

Hello,
What is the name of this excursion again?
This was a great video and the drone B-rolls were awesome. Just a tid bit or an editing tip, the food you enjoyed was rice and peas not beans and rice.
Lol the elephant 🤣 Wasn’t that a bong or weed pipe of some sort. You crack me up. Looks like a fun day in Jamaica.
Now i want one! Lol
Where is located at from the Cruise Port?
Zeeeeeeeeeeeen home 🏡 sweet home what’s going on back home while I’m here freezing 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏝️🏝️🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺
Can you please tell me what excursion this is? Thx
Cracking up at the end Griff. “My mom loves elephants. She would love that.” 😂 🇯🇲
Puff Puff Pass
Griff, Your mom’s my Soror! Elephant collector here❤🔺🐘
I initially didn't pick this excursion for our November Harmony cruise because it's marked "strenuous". But after watching your video, we want to try it. It is really strenuous??
Not strenuous at all!
Every time Aylissa was climbing a rock I was holding my breath. She makes me nervous lol. Bank G was in Jamaica!!
I notice you have some drone footage.
Our papers from travel agent say we can’t fly drone on cruise and some islands prohibit from you flying as well. They will confiscate your drone on the ship. How did you circumvent this?
Where is this? What’s the name of the place you went? I couldn’t understand what you said
Does anyone know what this shore excursion is called? I was trying to look it up but was having a hard time finding it?
love Jamaica!!!!
How do you look after all your personal property when going off for a walk. We are cruising in November and have invested in some waterproof waist packs.
I just leave it!
do you get to pick when you leave the estate or are you stuck there all day?
good thanks
What’s the name of the resort you went to?
Good Hope Estate
Can this excursion close to the Ocho Rios cruise port?
I need your connection on the ship as we are going on Oct 16th to the same plsces for our 20th wedding anniversary!!!
Jamaica looks awesome...
It was! =]
What excursion is this. I leave Jan 29 on harmony
This place is beautiful
What excursion was that?
I'd like to check out the elephant myself!!
(Most especially in Jamaica)
I travel to Jamaica once a year, it's my favorite place to be. Peace to all.
Is that pool you're in smooth at the bottom or is it rocky?
Smooth =]
A friend of mine said the only thing to do in this port is to stay on the ship.😅
lol
Since I know you have camera equipment, etc with you, did you feel safe with it or always keep it with you? We are going in March and are considering this excursion and I like to take my Nikon with me to get better pictures, but with all the reports of crime, etc on Jamaica, I wasn't sure if I should leave it on the ship and just use my phone. Also, I'm assuming the restaurant accepted cards?
Where were you on your excursion/what type group did you use? Very interested in this excursion for me and my mom!
The tour was called - Chukka Family Escape Pass at Good Hope Estate. we booked directly through Royal. :)
@@GriffandAlyssa thanks!
What’s the name of this excursion?
thats only the cruise ship falmouth. for the real falmouth it needs a little braveness, but its worth it. not only cus of the ital soup at the water square 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
Where was this location ?
Yes elephants are awesome
Enjoyed the video
Great excursion

You guys are awesome ✅
beautiful "FAKE" dunns river falls
did they have horse back riding??
Been three times. Dirty and people robbing people. But the falls was ok be safe e joy
Just added Jamaica to my list...
Guys let me clarify, that not 'Cornbread' its call 'Festival' it goes with Jerk chicken. The rice it's called 'Rice n peas'
It’s fried dumpling/festivals not cornbread and it’s rice and peas not rice and beans …
