jticarruthers Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Has anyone experienced this one ? It just popped up on the excursion list so it must be fairly new ... We have it booked for Thanksgiving but just curious if anyone had feedback before we get on board :) If not said feedback will be provided when I get back from Thanksgiving !

Matt Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I noticed that too for our Allure of the Seas cruise. It's definitely a new excursion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jticarruthers Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Well, I can state that the walk to the Catamaran was pleasant (they took us out through a side gate to a small Marina right next to the dock), the walk back from the Catamaran to Margaritaville was also pleasant. However, cant comment on anything else since the captain cancelled the excursion due to inclement weather just as we arrived at the Catamaran. Full refunds given and one free drink at Margaritaville provided to everyone. I would certainly be willing to book it again next time as the Catamaran looked to be in good shape and the excursion sounded fun, but unfortunately no details to share with you all :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I am going to be in Falmouth in Jan with IOS.....can you provide any ideas or recommendations for this to do around the port if the weather isn't great either at sea or for land excursions? How was the Margaritaville there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jticarruthers Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 The Margaritaville was ok. Very crowded with everyone packing in due to the rain, drinks were ok, food was crazy expensive ($20 nachos IIRC). The pool/hottub look like they would be fun if the weather was decent and the place wasn't packed. The Falmouth area is not great (IMO) from a shore excursion standpoint which is why we were interested in the Margaritaville excursion. We did a tour a few years ago that took you to a local school, local plantation, etc. that was educational and interesting, don't think it is offered anymore. Have heard that the river tubing can be hit or miss, great if it rained recently and the river is running, terrible if its been dry and they have to haul you from puddle to puddle. Be careful looking at tours as a lot of them involve a substantial bus ride to either Ocho Rios or Montego Bay. Michel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was the Margaritaville there? Falmouth is still a new port, so a lot of the excursions available are actually a bus ride away in Ocho Rios (Dunns River Falls, et al). I'd search for things to do there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Thanks. I plan on staying near the ship/port for this stop. I have done Ocho Rios before and Dunn's River Falls. Sounds like Margaretville will be the place to be...as long as its not raining...haha. And that wouldn't surpise me if it was raining as my week in Jamaica there was only one afternoon it was sunny,.....rain and cloud for a whole week and have never been back since.
