For our final port we spent the day in Jamaica. We booked an excursion which would be taking us from Falmouth to Montego Bay. We arrived at port shortly after 7:00am and met our guide Amanda and our driver Jay. It took us about an hour to get to the downtown area of Montego Bay, during which we passed by some landmarks in the city. Our first stop that day was to St. James Parish Church, which is an 18th century…
For the start of our day at George Town, everyone who booked excursions were divided into groups and had to wait inside the theatre until we were called to take a tender to shore. After a quick five minute ride, we finally made it to shore around 10:45am. Once we got settled into our groups, we were loaded onto buses heading to the boat club, where we would then be taking a boat towards stingray city. It was another gorgeous day out…

Honestly some parts felt like an extension of the ship. However, it was very clean and the beaches were amazing, so we definitely made…
Back from another vacation! I had the most relaxing week onboard the Celebrity Beyond while in the Caribbean. With four ports on this cruise, I got to cross off another four countries I’ve visited. That finally puts me at 20 countries! Initially when I was planning my trip, I knew I wanted to be away for my birthday but I wasn’t sure where I wanted to travel to. Even though I’ve never gravitated towards cruises or all-inclusive vacations, I wanted something simple…
