We had several people warning us about the area of Falmouth in terms of safety (including the staff on our cruise ship). Since we had two small children we decided not to risk it. However we didn’t want the trip to pass without at least putting our feet on Jamaican soil. Therefore walking around the port was a decent compromise. Vendors here were friendly and we were able to enjoy some good food and a red stripe. It was a fun quick visit!

Cruise port ok overall with many tourist and jewellery shops. Very clean and well kept. One major complaint was quality of live music. Sat in afternoon on balcony overlooking terminal. Live music was very loud, repetitive and not at all tuneful. Seemed to consist of very heavy drumming with some poor vocals. No one stood around listening. Could have been so much better and entertaining.

Port was ok. Went on early morning excursion came back to wander around the port but everything was very expensive. I grabbed some coffee as I planned to and got back on the ship. Prices are extreme and locals unwillingness to hagle for a reasonable price. Disappointing..other folks who wandered outside the gates said it wasn't worth it

Had a wonderful experience with Rory & his pedicab right at the cruise center! He took us to Kimbo Pot Restaurant nearby (outstanding jerk chicken) & then took us back (with historical references along the way) to the cruise ship. Really pleasant experience & wonderful lunch

We were originally going to skip this port stop based on the travel advisory and reviews we had seen online. Once we were docked we looked down from the ship and saw how nice it looked and how calm it was (no vendors flocking to the incoming tourists), we decided to head down with the kids. We are so glad we did. The kids had a great time browsing the vendor stalls and everyone there was so nice. Of course everyone was trying to make a deal but nobody was pushy like we have experienced in other places. You could also grab a drink and walk around. We decided to follow the signs to Red Stripe Beach, but doing so stumbled upon Clubhouse Brewery right there in the port. We had a great time chatting with the owner and trying the Jamaican patties. We didn't venture far but the whole group had a memorable and enjoyable time. We felt safe and welcome the entire visit to the port.

We loved this port, we were warned by many cruisers ahead of time that the port was full of aggressive vendors, but we did not find that to be true at all. It was a beautiful and clean port with many friendly vendors and shops. There were entertainers performing as well, which was wonderful for our children to experience another beautiful culture. We enjoyed it very much and left with tons of Jamaican treasures and goodies for fair prices.
