I actually enjoyed Falmouth. We found a local walking tour around the town and it was so cool. Eddie our local guide was great walked through several really neat old neighborhoods, interesting buildings and some beautiful architecture. If you don't leave the port you experience nothing but the same old duty free shops. Venture out a bit and you will be surprised at what you might find. We ate at a simple local restaurant with delicious jerk chicken, drink and great people.
I don’t know what people are so afraid about in Falmouth. I’m in Falmouth as I type this - it’s my 5th trip to Jamaica and I stay at least 2 weeks every trip. Furthermore, I’ve been in Falmouth for several days now and will be here for several more. RCL docks here all day and departs just before 4PM. The poet is SEALED. That means, just like with ANY port, you can’t get onto the dock without your sea pass card; only ship passengers can go past this point. There are lots of shops in this gated area where you can shop souvenirs or enjoy some drinks at Margaritaville and smaller venues. If you do venture out of the port gates, there are plenty of local eateries and a very colonial village to enjoy. Do your research BEFORE you leave the ship and learn why Falmouth is a very special part of Jamaica! The mayor’s office is one of the historic buildings right in front of the port gates. Falmouth is an amazing place that is accustomed to foreigners as many of us live close to it and shop there all the time, without incident.
Thank you for your review Veronica! I will be on a port stop there in Nov '23 & looking for something less than touristy - and definitely not doing Dunns River Falls a 4th time... a local tour, food, & dip in the pool is enough for me - oh and of course gotta stock up on some Rum Cream! JA Love 🇯🇲
This is just your opinion, correct? I know plenty people who docked at the Falmouth port and they enjoyed themselves. It's nobody's fault you're afraid to venture out and explore the place and not just the port. The port is not Jamaica!!
@@dietsausage1no one needs to pay for a tour. Just don’t act like a typical Murican and you’ll be fine. I’m a white foreign woman who shops alone in Falmouth and have no issues.
Just came back from a Royal cruise went to Coco Cay, Grand Cayman and Falmouth I completely agree with everything you say about this place! My mother in law my wife myself and our 16 month old that was a lot with very young child. We went outside the port gate and didn’t make it 5 feet and we had 4 “tour” guides from the area all over us pressuring for a walking tour around the area. Although the man was very respectful and nice just very pushy. We politely declined many offers walked around the block and my anxiety hit the roof because of the protection of my child so we decided to return to port and had a good time actually but as you said in the video it’s all the same stuff. And as you mention we came across someone who said they hand carve all the material their selves and I thought the same exact thing why aren’t you carving right now to replenish inventory? However we did have a wonderful time due to it being my son myself and my wife’s first cruise ( not my mother in law though she goes ALL the time practically lives in cruises ) but I would definitely suggest anyone going to this port or any other really buyer beware. I also agree with your statement about doing excursions like how much time do you really have? I know just the walking around and going to the beaches at each island we went and shopping took up most of our time so doing excursions is cool but in my opinion takes up the majority of your time. A lot of the people that did excursions on our trip this past week weren’t very pleased or satisfied with their experience. So I would suggest to heed any advice you receive and do your research before taking a cruise.
thanks for the comment, i appreciate it. people that comment that im being negative are missing my point. also, i do woodworking and a lot of that stuff has been turned on a lathe not hand carved and i didnt see any lathes in the port 😂
@@dietsausage1 don’t see you being negative at all just living in reality as myself most of these people live in la la land when they’re on these cruises and have their guard down and let themselves be taken advantage of.
I have to agree with much of what is being said. My wife and I walked about for 30 minutes scratching our heads at this stop. I’m of Indian descent and I’ve been over on the subcontinent many times and have seen how they do things over there so I have a very strong sense for these things and knew straight away that the shopping in the “port” was a hustle. We thought at first that you aren’t allowed out of the port but we ended up on a bicycle ride on one of the three wheelers. I must say the people we met outside were great, Sandra who owns Kimbo Pot was is lovely person, the food and atmosphere there was great. The poverty in Falmouth is obvious though and reminded me of a lot I’ve seen in India and Pakistan. In actual fact, the situation in Falmouth was actually much worse than over in those places, at least in India there are temples who tend to the poor and will feed anyone for free etc. Royal Caribbean was a very different experience for us this time. The overall service was massively diminished and the stops we made were all just extensions of the boat, ie there was nothing much you could experience out on an excursion that you couldn’t get some similar feeling with being on the boat apart from a few sports related things but not everyone is into screaming around on jet skis etc. I would have much preferred to see a lot more history but when the real infrastructure of the places you’re stopping in is minimal at best and in a decaying state of repair, there aren’t many options. I think this has now put me off cruising. I just felt I was in a bubble, there we were safe on our side of life and on the other side there were people who didn’t have two cents to rub together. The main thing RC achieved for me on this cruise was to affirm my desire to go down a much more philanthropic route in life. Perhaps if RC go down the route of helping to invest and build on the real side of these stops then it would make for a better overall situation in the future ie for “real” tourism and not this bubble tourism situation they have. Perhaps that is actually one of the aims? I don’t know. For now I don’t think I’ll be going on a cruise again but we’ll see.
Of course the cruiseline keeps you in a “bubble.” When people feel safe and comfortable, they spend money. The cruiseline is an expert at keeping your money and enticing you to spend more. RCL owns the port in Jamaica and they vet who gets to conduct business there, and take a big cut of the income. And if India did such a great job of taking care of its own, why the hell is half of India in Canada now?
it was cool. we just spent the day on the beach doing nothing. theyve done a good job designing the area and theres a surprising amount of activities to do, depending on your price point. they have like 3-4 different areas for different intentions. we went to nellies beach and it was very relaxing and chill. they serve like burgers and jerk chicken and it was a good day. there is an entire craft area that is just like falmouth and the vendors are aggressive as well. but you can avoid it by going around it. overall, i think theyve done a good job with labadee. lots to explore and its very scenic, you feel like youre in a very tropical place.
Jamaica's north coast is a breeze to navigate. Should have walked out to Main Road and grabbed some transportation to Flavours beach. Could have grabbed a meal at Scotchies in Ocho Rios and some Juci patties for the cruise. Missed out, friend.
Yeah I did the same me and my family we had a great time! And this was a vacation so we had funds to spend to have a wonderful time! Plus you only live once so enjoy life!
I’m with you. We’re going there next year but I went to Mexico to a Mayan pyramid, and it was sooooo much of a flea market where all the vendors were so forceful on selling. It’s just so touristy. I wish it was all different
I went there last year I didn't do much, but i like the cocktail drinks next to the pool. We tried to go to the town on our own😅hahha it was kind of scary, honestly, but i guess it's fine if you have a guide with you. We did not have a guide as well.I really suggest not going without a guide you trust because i did not feel safe at all. There are 3 of us, me, my daughter, and my husband. The moment you go outside the port the town. You'll see ppl everywhere on the street, gambling on the street, hanging out on the street, and watching you. We stopped by the shop to buy something so expensive for wipes $10, we did not argue. we just bought it because there are too many guys hanging around the door of the store as well. Seriously!! My husband told me to stop the video because i was doing a live video of us but he said to stop in case they might get mad or something but is it better so they won't do anything to us 😂. Long story short, have fun and do excursion instead, please. Or else, just like what he said, you on your own. It's up to u to believe him or me. This is based on my experience. So. do whatever your heart desires 😅.
the ship is the draw for me, id be perfectly content just floating around in circles in the ocean. the other two ports we went to were great but there is usually one that is lackluster. so its really not that odd….have you never been anywhere that disappointed you? if not, just give it time….😁
@@julietmccormack7597I hope you enjoy it! I’m in Falmouth as a white woman as I type this message. It’s safe here unless you’re an idiot. For those of us who aren’t idiots, there are nice things to see and do here. I’m here for 2 more weeks and shop alone here, do my banking here and never feel unsafe.
@@fluffytail6355 thank you for your comment. I have been looking forward to it especially. It’s good to hear some great feedback. In the end in boils down to attitude. My husband and I always enjoy our trips even when a bit intrepid.
what an interesting video... appreciate the time you put into doing this video but wouldn't most ports have nothing to do? the whole point is going out a exploring the area and if you feel uncomfortable doing so it makes your time there and this video very pointless. hope you enjoyed your time on the ship without the crowd tho 😂
not necessarily….falmouth was just markedly different from the other ports ive been to. and i think what makes it even more different is the fact that you are rolling the dice by venturing out and “exploring the area,” due to the inherent crime there. that does nothing to negate the point of the video as it can show others what to expect and what theyre options are. plus, i was disappointed bc rc could have created a really cool area just in the walled-in portion they control but they apparently chose not to. nice sized area, tons of potential, and nothing to do just doesnt compute for me
Seems like a lot of people had a good time doing excursions. I suppose, if you’re going to enjoy yourself, you’re gonna have to spend money and go somewhere otherwise, you are going to be bored.
dont hear me wrong, im absolutely not averse to spending money. i just should have done more research into the options at this particular port. nothing really appealed to me
Can’t disagree with what you say. We had to leave the port area to buy some diapers, there were cops advising us not to go too far as it wasn’t safe, when we found a shop they immediately bumped up the price so we left and decided to buy some at the next port. The place is a shit hole, either do an excursion or stay on the ship.
I am a Jamaican living in the US. I would like to add my two cents to say that the government of JA along with the big corporations on the island of which many are foreign-owned, have sterilized the tourist offerings to "so-called" keep tourists safe. I would not go to Falmouth mainly because if appears very boring there. Unfortunately, the government has not made the rest of the island a safe place for every human being to enjoy. Information is beginning to unfold that the high crime rate propaganda on the island is being PUSHED by corporations on the island or off-shore to keep ALL TOURIST into these MAN MADE areas so they can BUY the stuff provided by the corporation, The same thing can be said for the ALL-INCLUSIVE hotels they keep the propaganda about high crime rate and robbery to scare the tourist from venturing out of the hotel compounds and so tourist stays on campus and only SPENDS money WITH THE CORPORATION. The scheme is very well thought-out PLAN to keep the tourists from traveling AROUND the island, keep the money flowing in the corporation's pockets, AND keep tourists from seeing the real Jamaica.
Hi so agree with u 💯....I'm from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 and it's the same exact thing....u can get anywhere in any country...but they always like to class the Caribbean as they worst countries in the world....I went to Turks and Caicos in 2023 and I ventured out of the resort and saw the real Turks and Caicos... just like anywhere else just be mindful and do your research.... Be Bless.
Why you living in the US if it's not that bad there? In 2022, Jamaica had 1,508 murders, for a murder rate of 53.34 per 100,000 people, the highest murder rate in the world. The US State Department says don't travel there "Violent crimes, such as home invasions, armed robberies, sexual assaults, and homicides, are common. Sexual assaults occur frequently, including at all-inclusive resorts."
I’m a Canadian who travels to JA often and I lived with my husband’s Jamaican family in a town where I am literally the ONLY white person and am the ONLY white woman. Other than a lot of stares from the locals, no one has bothered me. That said, if a black man showed up in the white small town I grew up in SK, Canada, the locals would stare at him! I own a home in Jamaica now. I used to live in Mexico - the same precautions I took there that kept me safe for 5 years also keep me safe in JA. Common sense but it’s not for everyone. There are plenty of things for visitors to see and do in JA but they don’t need to be everywhere. There are few things a tourist even needs to obtain outside of an AI resort so they don’t need to be all over the place. With this, I agree. There are many tours and things to see once they leave the resort but they don’t need to be wandering around clubs and such either. Tourists need to stay in the hotel zone and they won’t have an issue. No different in Mexico. Not everyone wants a shipload or airplane load of foreigners bombarding their town and videoing everything then spreading lies in the internet.
@@BlackPanther-yv7ib the excursions are kind of milquetoast from what i gathered from those who went on them. of all the excursions ive been on, most of them are overpriced and not that value worthy. id just as soon do my own thing and, unfortunately, theres just not a lot to do in falmouth.
The only thing you should pass on is this bozo’s narrow minded opinion. I’m a white woman living in Jamaica now and have NO issues going alone to Falmouth to conduct my banking and shopping. He’s a gigantic Murican chicken.
😂😂 Lordy it looks like it’s boring there. And u are hilarious talking about Falmouth Jamaica 😂. Thanks for this hilarious video. I definitely don’t want to go there to Falmouth. U soooo funny 😄 I’m still laughing
You absolutely can! There are many shuttles that can carry you to local beaches. Doctor’s Beach (Montego Bay) near it all or Burwood Beach (Falmouth) are great choices.
You do have some valid points. And yes I agreed with you. I believe that they should stop having cruise ship docking in Falmouth, because the tourist are being disappointed.for sure, a d nothing to do in that location for that short period of time. Cruise ship should only go in the town of Ocho Rios where there are many excursion to do in that location
Nope. RCL bought the pier in Falmouth and totally screwed over the Jamaicans in the deal. Falmouth is a peaceful place of about 7500 permanent residents and is a hub for many activities nearby. No need to eliminate one port of call just because you don’t like it or are boring and don’t find it “appealing.”
@@dietsausage1idiots totally repeat themselves…glad you outed yourself so quickly. What city in Murica are you from? Do your parents still identify as siblings even since they birthed you?
You could say that about ANY port!! What port have you been to that just ANYONE can get near the ship without a ship card. You must be new to cruising.

such fascinating insight….
U should do it since u haven't experienced it yet😅. Go be free to venture outside the port by foot. Say hi to all ppl hanging around the streets.
I enjoyed falmouth so much! I had a local tour guide who made our experience so much better.
but, if people arent willing to pay for that, i assume that you see my point, no?
@dietsausage you have a point , it is much cheaper to book a tour guide when you get off the ship though. so it wasn't expensive.

Other than a lot of stares from the locals, no one has bothered me. That said, if a black man showed up in the white small town I grew up in SK, Canada, the locals would stare at him!
I own a home in Jamaica now. I used to live in Mexico - the same precautions I took there that kept me safe for 5 years also keep me safe in JA. Common sense but it’s not for everyone. There are plenty of things for visitors to see and do in JA but they don’t need to be everywhere. There are few things a tourist even needs to obtain outside of an AI resort so they don’t need to be all over the place. With this, I agree. There are many tours and things to see once they leave the resort but they don’t need to be wandering around clubs and such either. Tourists need to stay in the hotel zone and they won’t have an issue. No different in Mexico. Not everyone wants a shipload or airplane load of foreigners bombarding their town and videoing everything then spreading lies in the internet.
@@Pochi1why does ANYONE live in the USA is my big question! Same crimes occur in the USA as in Jamaica. Wake up.
Authentic Jamaican restaurants???
if you venture outside the port and its not exactly safe to do so
@@dietsausage1
What about if I do an excursion. I want to SEE Jamaica
@@BlackPanther-yv7ib the excursions are kind of milquetoast from what i gathered from those who went on them. of all the excursions ive been on, most of them are overpriced and not that value worthy. id just as soon do my own thing and, unfortunately, theres just not a lot to do in falmouth.
You’re asking if there are AUTHENTIC Jamaican restaurants in Jamaica?? 😂😂😂
@@fluffytail6355 Mind ya business. 🤣
Thank you for your honest review I'm searching for a cruise in Dec lol I think I'll pass on this port
you are most welcome
The only thing you should pass on is this bozo’s narrow minded opinion. I’m a white woman living in Jamaica now and have NO issues going alone to Falmouth to conduct my banking and shopping. He’s a gigantic Murican chicken.
Pass! Rather stay on the ship and enjoy all of the nice things that I’ve paid to enjoy
That’s an option at ANY port!
The town of Port Royal is very safe and a beautiful fishing village. Visit the actual town. What a miserable person afraid of Jamaicans
im not afraid of jamaicans and im far from miserable. but thanks for the playin, doorknob. 😂
@@dietsausage1sure sound miserable to me, doorknob
A friend of mine said the only thing to do in this port is to stay on the ship.😅
thats about as accurate as i can say it 🤣
Your friend is wrong. Is your “friend” also paying for your cruise and makes all of your other life decisions too?
😂😂 Lordy it looks like it’s boring there. And u are hilarious talking about Falmouth Jamaica 😂. Thanks for this hilarious video. I definitely don’t want to go there to Falmouth. U soooo funny 😄 I’m still laughing
glad you enjoyed it, thank you 😁
I think you meant to use the word “pathetic” instead of funny.
So you can’t go to the BEACH?????? 🏝️
if you pay to go to a resort
You absolutely can! There are many shuttles that can carry you to local beaches. Doctor’s Beach (Montego Bay) near it all or Burwood Beach (Falmouth) are great choices.
@@dietsausage1you NEED to stop posting when you don’t even know what you’re talking about 🙄🤦♀️
No one was pushing you you just broke 😂😂
im far from broke, just dont waste money on dumb, overpriced crap but thanks for the insight, door knob
@@dietsausage1brokie on TH-cam trying to monetize lol
@@dietsausage1too bad money doesn’t buy you class or intelligence
You do have some valid points. And yes I agreed with you. I believe that they should stop having cruise ship docking in Falmouth, because the tourist are being disappointed.for sure, a d nothing to do in that location for that short period of time.
Cruise ship should only go in the town of Ocho Rios where there are many excursion to do in that location
couldnt agree more, thanks
We had a very similar in Labadee. At least there they openly admit what it is. We will be in Falmouth January 24.
Nope. RCL bought the pier in Falmouth and totally screwed over the Jamaicans in the deal. Falmouth is a peaceful place of about 7500 permanent residents and is a hub for many activities nearby. No need to eliminate one port of call just because you don’t like it or are boring and don’t find it “appealing.”
This is why broke ass people should not go on cruise vacation. Crying over pennies 😭😭
no one is crying and im far from broke but thanks for the insight, door knob….🙄
@@dietsausage1idiots totally repeat themselves…glad you outed yourself so quickly. What city in Murica are you from? Do your parents still identify as siblings even since they birthed you?
It looks like a waste of time.
you arent wrong 😂😂
All of that stuff is from China 😂.
This Port is basically a compound with no access to the Island. I suppose its closed in for safety, no?
best i can tell, yes it is
You could say that about ANY port!! What port have you been to that just ANYONE can get near the ship without a ship card. You must be new to cruising.
@@dietsausage1best you can tell? You’re on here giving your baseless opinion not based on ANY knowledge or facts. Geezus.
