NIGHTMARE IN JAMAICA CARNIVAL SHORE EXCURSION

[honestokie]

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. I am planning a cruise on Princess in January that includes Jamacia with my father (60). I will definitely tell him about this and I for one will not leave the ship in Jamacia!!!!

Ken,

I too am horrified by your story. I hope by now your family is feeling much better.

This type of stuff has been going on in Jamaica for years, and years.

One of my vendors got married 2 weeks before I did in July of 1991. Like me, she did a honeymoon cruise.

Fortunately for me she was able to tell me of the Jamaican Nightmare some of the passengers she cruised with experienced.

Their ship sponsored tour bus was highjacked. Three robbers came on board with guns and knives, and took everyone's jewelry, and all their CASH. Then a couple of years ago, I heard of the same thing happening.

This is one of the reasons why I carry very little cash, and only small bills when I am in the islands. I also lock all of jewerly in the room safe, and don't wear any at all when doing a tour or just walking around.

As for the Jaimacan's looking terrified, I am positive many of those folks have gone through this many times.
