I don't want to ever go back to Ocho Rios!  We were literally mobbed when we came out of the port.  The locals were so aggressive and bold and the whole thing had an unsafe feel to it.  I'd never experienced anything like it before and will not put our family in that situation again.   We did end up hiring a taxi for the day.  Only because the taxi driver came to our rescue, and got the mob to leave us alone.  He did show us some sights and was very knowledgeable.  However, he must of had an agreement with the vendors at the sights.  Every time we turned around someone was asking for or expecting money.  We were never so glad to leave a port as we were with Jamaica.  Big disappointment.  In the future I will either avoid itineraries with Jamaica or stay on the ship.
