The cost of the resort includes a table and lay-out chairs for each person When you get there they actually assign you a table and you select chairs (if you want them) and put your towels, etc. on them so that they are tagged as yours for the day. That's really how it's designed. And there are enough chairs for anyone who wants one. I agree with you when it comes to reserving layout chairs on a cruise ship, but this is really different.

@@CruiseCrazedTV oh okay! That's kind of cool then. I always hate when you can't sit down because a towel needs it's own chair. Lol. But it's nice that you're guaranteed a chair. Takes the work out of it.

Honestly, we have been going to Doctors Cave Beach for the past 20 years, and I have never seen Blue Mountain coffee sold at the shops there, but that does not mean they may not have it right now. The last time we were there, we ventured down the street just outside the entrance and looked through a number of shops. We did purchase "Blue Mountain" coffee there, but it ended up not being authentic. I really should have known better. There are knock-offs everywhere, so you need to look for the official Blue Mountain coffee seal. You might just Google "Blue Mountain Jamaican coffee official seal" to see what it looks like. If you are docking at the Montego Bay port, you might be able to find Blue Mountain right there when you get off the ship. It is definitely one of my own favorite coffees, and you can get it MUCH cheaper there than here in the States. It's one of the most expensive to purchase in the US. Glad to answer any other questions you might have. Montego Bay is one of our favorite places to explore. We will be docking in Falmouth for the first time this November, so folks can be watching for a video soon thereafter on that port.

@@CruiseCrazedTV It really didn’t cross my mind that there would be fakes, so thank you so much. We saw that there was a Starbucks there? Do you remember seeing that? If not we could definitely look near the pier. We’ve never been here so this is a new experience for us. Still learning lol

Jamaica isn't a village, calm down.

Thanks for your input. I do have a video on St. Thomas. I would love to review and recognize other USVI areas, but my travel is a little limited. Any particular USVI island?

Young lady of course! I hope it’s helpful!

Life wit Nikki n DZO J Yes, it recently increased by $5. Still very worth the cost.

Hi, Rick! It's about 3.5 miles from the Montego Bay cruise terminal to Doctor's Cave Beach....probably not something you'd want to walk. We have been many times and we take a cab or bus there - there is a line of them waiting when you dock. It costs $7 each way for the ride. Hope that helps!

Cruise Crazed TV how easy (or difficult) was it to get a taxi back to the port...and how long does it take?

Wildcat 6319 It’s not difficult at all. There are a lot of tourists in the area, so there are likewise a lot of cabs. This is the largest portion of their revenue so when ships are in port, they make themselves available. It’s only 3.5 miles from Doctors Cave to the cruise terminal so the ride is not more than 10 minutes. Cost is $7/person.

Cruise Crazed TV Thank you!

That's how it is in Jamaica and several other places we've been. Our experience has been that if you ignore them and move along to your destination they leave you alone. Their primary income is from tourists, so it's just a more aggressive version of what we've experienced in the US with some commissioned sales people. We have never felt in danger there. And once you actually get to Doctors Cave Beach and get settled, no one bothers you.

Karen Nelson they don’t provide towels. We bring a backpack with towels from the ship, sunscreen, money, etc.

Sorry....I know I responded to this already, but I don't see it here. We actually went in late February and the water was the same temperature it was when we were there in September. The water is perfect!

I have not personally cruised to the Falmouth port before, but my experience has been that every place we visit has plenty of taxis ready and available very close to the ship. They count on being able to get tourists to locations to spend their money...hahaha. As far as leaving the beach, we calculate all that before we even get off the ship and decide in advance what time we will head back to the ship. I always give ourselves a lot more time than we will really need. Typically there are shopping opportunities right at the port, so we factor in the extra time to shop at the END rather than the beginning of the time in port. Hope that helps! Have a blast, and let us know about your experience in Falmouth. Be sure to share pictures with us on FB at facebook.com/groups/CruiseCrazed.

I believe the bus tour was a couple of hours, with 3-4 stops, where we got out and looked around for a set amount of time (like 15 minutes at a time). We enjoyed hearing some of the history of the city and seeing the buildings, landscape, and beaches. An old but beautiful area. I'm so glad the video was helpful! Hope you have a wonderful trip!

Cruise Crazed TV Ty for your response. I'm doing my homework before I go. Looking forward....

There is a buffet with a variety of both Mexican and American foods. It's all-you-can-eat. You can also order off a menu at your table that has a LOT of different foods. All is included in the price. If you don't like something, just get something else! We have definitely done that! Not sure if you're a member of my Cruise Crazed Facebook group, but if not you can find a picture of the menu in our photos. facebook.com/groups/CruiseCrazed

Yes, that is correct. We leave our backpacks or whatever we have brought at our table and it has always been safe. The person assigned to your table watches it. It is yours for the day.... you can walk around, shop, swim, etc., with no problems.

Yes, we have booked on their site multiple times....going again in September. It is legit. You pay $5/person when you book online, just to reserve your spots, then tell them your name when you show up, they pull up your reservation, and you pay the remaining $50/person. I always print off my email receipt for the deposits, but have never had to use it.

Cruise Crazed TV we can't wait, thanks and hope you have a good time in September as well!

The video was from our last trip, which was February of this year.

We have been there numerous times, and each time we simply take a cab/bus. When you get off the ship in Montego Bay, there is a long line of cabs/vans/buses waiting to take people where they want to go. They will ask you how many people and where you're wanting to be taken, then they group you with others based on your response. There will be others going to Doctor's Cave Beach. I believe the cost was like $6/person each way. There will also be cabs available to return. You just need to tell them you are going to the cruise terminal. I always give myself plenty of time before last call onto the ship.

Thank you it always worries me to do something thats not through carnival I'm terrified of being left behind lol

@@ecv4587 I completely understand. We are very cautious about that as well. We've never had an issue, but it's definitely a valid concern. If we strike out on our own, we try to do that first thing in the morning and maybe try to finish up and head back to the ship just after lunch. That way if there is some kind of vehicle issue, etc., we have some time to figure out an alternate plan. We try to stay fairly close to the terminal and in areas that are heavily touristy.

Thanks for the info!

How much is the taxi ride from the cruise port to Doctor's Cave?

Montego Bay is our porte!

I'm so glad the video was helpful! Yes, I think it's safe for you to go by yourselves. I would just suggest that you stay together and not wander away from one another. Keep your kids close. Especially once you get inside the beach area you will be just fine. Outside that area just ignore all the people trying to get your attention. They are very aggressive, but selling things is how they make their income. We've not had any issues over the past 20 years in Montego Bay. Once you dock there will be a long line of anything from taxis to buses. All of them are $7/person and they are safe. You will have a number of other people going to Doctor's Cave, so just stick with them. There will be plenty of cabs leaving Doctor's Cave as well, going back to the terminal, which will cost $7/person again. We always make sure to give ourselves plenty of time to get back to make sure we don't run into any time issues. I think the key to safety in any of the ports (as well, really, as any major cities around the world) is to be aware of your surroundings and to be cautious. But don't forget to HAVE FUN!! Doctor's Cave is wonderful and relaxing. I hope you have a wonderful time!!

Cruise Crazed TV Thank you soo much for your reply! It is soo helpful! I think we are going to go to the beach for sure!

do you people ask about safety when you go to european countries!!! that gets disgusting and disrespectful from our point of view ‼️‼️

@@ladyghana5603 Sure, my sweetheart. Every time I traveling with my kids , I will always ask the safety questions first in this blue planet 🌎!

Thank you! I'm glad the video was helpful. Yes, they start serving drinks and food first thing in the morning. They are very cruise line friendly. They keep up with what ships are ported, as well as their arrival/departure times, and cater to guests the entire time the ships are there. As a matter of fact, later in the day they are known even to walk around and remind guests when their ship's departure time is drawing near. You are going to love it there!

No, we didn't get any of the skulls, but I did see them. They were definitely ornate and you could tell a lot of work had gone into them. I have been impressed with the variety of items that they actually sell in the shops there at Sancho's.

Cruise Crazed TV Me too!! So many beautifully painted patterns on the sugar skulls.

We have not tried it personally but have heard others who have and they say it's incredible. If you end up trying it, be sure to let us know what it was like...maybe even share a photo or two...in our Cruise Crazed FB group at facebook.com/groups/CruiseCrazed
