Darrell,As I repled to Plainjane, above, Jamaica is not one of our favorite islands to visit, primarily because of the very poor and aggressive panhandlers, etc. But, the cost of excursions there is not any more expensive than elsewhere in the Caribbean in my experience. Are they a bit pricey? Maybe. But most of the ones I have done are worth the money if the experience is decent. Dunns River Falls is worth doing, despite the hastle, if your cruise is going to Ocho Rios. Any of them that do snorkling, wave runners, etc will be fun, since the Jamiacan beaches are as good as all but a few others in the Caribbean. If your cruise is landing in Montego Bay or Kingston, I wouldn't get off the ship. These two ports can be dangerous as far as I am concerned.Welcome to the boards.Ted
