Getting Around Falmouth, Jamaica

Falmouth, Jamaica cruise port

As cruise ship passengers exit the cruise ship into the Falmouth cruise port you’ll enter a gated retail complex. Passengers concerned about safety can feel comfortable within this gated area. 

Just outside the gates is the historical town of Falmouth. It’s easy to walk around “Old Town” Falmouth. However, cruise passengers will want to use the usual caution when walking down the streets or alleyways.

To visit beyond the port of Falmouth, it’s best to book shore excursions through your cruise line or a reputable third party tour provider.  

The gated retail complex in Falmouth is easy to get around on foot and is also wheelchair accessible. 

Public Transit

Just before you exit the main terminal for both piers, you’ll find an information booth and a large lot where you can meet tour buses and vans for shore excursions. 

Nearby you will find a fixed-rate taxi stand, with non-haggling rates posted to nearby sites. 

You can also catch a bus from Falmouth to Montego Bay on the Montego Bay Metro. The trip will take about an hour, but public transportation should be used cautiously since there are not many buses and departure times available.

Blue Hole is about an hour and a half drive from the Falmouth port.

Green Grotto Caves in Jamaica

Known by several names describing the use of the caves over the years, Green Grotto Caves is a large labyrinth cave system with a history just as long as its tunnels. Measuring 1,525 meters in length and 12 meters in depth, the Green Grotto Caves are the island's most prominent natural attraction.

From the pier, your guide will take you on an approximately 30-minute scenic drive to the opening of the caves. Once you have arrived at the Green Grotto Caves, you will descend below ground to view magnificent stalactites, stalagmites, and other unique limestone formations. Look up into the ceiling pockets to find several species of Jamaica's bats, including the Mustache and Jamaican fruit-eating bat. The Green Grotto Caves have several sunlight holes that help illuminate the numerous chambers. Keep an eye out for various life forms, including snails and snakes. This extensive cave system also boasts a river and Grotto Lake, a crystal clear underground body of water.

Discover the Green Grotto Caves' diverse cultural history, starting with the Arawak Indians, whose pottery shards are still unearthed from time to time. Learn how the Green Grotto Caves were used as a hideout by the Spaniards during the English invasion of Jamaica in the 17th century, and then used to smuggle arms to Cuba in the 20th century. At one point, the Green Grotto Caves were used by runaway slaves, as well as a storage place for rum barrels by the government during the Second World War.

If you like mystery and adventure, you will love this chance to discover Jamaica's hidden underworld. Book this scenic tour now and be sure to bring your camera.

Royal Caribbean Suspends All Visits to Labadee in Haiti

  • March 14, 2024

Symphony of the Seas

Royal Caribbean International is suspending all of the upcoming calls at Labadee, its private island in Haiti.

“Due to the evolving situation in Haiti, and in an abundance of caution, we’re temporally suspending our visits to Labadee for our entire fleet,” the company said in a prepared statement.

“We continue to monitor and assess the situation with our Global Security & Intelligence Team,” Royal Caribbean added.

Several ships were scheduled to visit Labadee over the next few days, including the Symphony of the Seas.

Offering a seven-night cruise to the Western Caribbean, the Oasis-Class ship was set to visit the Haitian destination on March 19.

According to a statement sent to the guests, the call will be replaced with a day at sea, as well as extra time to a previously scheduled visit to Falmouth, Jamaica.

The Mariner of the Seas was also set to visit Labadee next week. Offering a five-night cruise departing from Port Canaveral, the ship was set to arrive at Royal Caribbean’s private destination on March 18.

Instead of heading to Haiti, the Voyager-Class vessel will now visit Nassau, the Bahamas, the company said in a letter to passengers.

In a similar change, the Grandeur of the Seas is also replacing a visit to Labadee with a stop in the Bahamas.

According to a statement sent to booked guests, instead of docking at the Haitian destination, the ship’s upcoming cruise is now set to visit Perfect Day at CocoCay on March 23.

Pre-paid Royal Caribbean International shore excursions will be automatically refunded to their original form of payment, the company explained in all three statements.

Other vessels set to visit Labadee in March include the Oasis of the Seas, the Liberty of the Seas, the Adventure of the Seas, the Independence of the Seas, the Adventure of the Seas, the Odyssey of the Seas, and the Explorer of the Seas.
