点评:We arrived in Jamaica on a Carnival shore excursion called "Beach Break: Harmony Beach and Craft Market", a few months after a hurricane hit the island. Our guide, Sasha, was a vibrant lady with a contagious positive attitude and the ability to make things happen. Our cruise ship did not arrive at the port on schedule, but she immediately informed us that the beach is only 15 minutes away from the cruise terminal. Additionally, Sasha provided us with an overview of Jamaican culture and examples of how to communicate using the local dialect.
The beach was beautiful, and the water was an aqua blue color. Despite comments from previous reviews, there was absolutely no chaos at the beach, only tourists and locals enjoying the beautiful scenery. Life guards and security were present in adequate numbers. However, I recommend bringing water shoes because there are occasional small rocks and shells on the bottom. Lunch at the beach exceeded all expectations. From our arrival at the beach to our departure, it was clear that Sasha had a close working relationship with all the key groups, making sure we enjoyed a wonderful beach day.
Previous reviews indicated that vendors at the Craft Market stalked tourists like prey. Our visit was the complete opposite. The vendors were friendly and seemed to enjoy negotiating over the sale of each item. Our 13-year-old son enjoyed this part of the excursion the most. Sasha's presence and relationship with the vendors made a huge difference.
I strongly recommend this shore excursion when visiting Jamaica.
翻译:我们参加了嘉年华邮轮公司名为“海滩假期:和谐海滩和工艺品市场”的岸上游览项目,抵达牙买加。当时距离飓风袭击该岛已过去几个月。我们的导游萨莎是一位充满活力、积极乐观的女士,她总能把事情办成。我们的邮轮没有按时抵达港口,但她立即告诉我们,海滩距离邮轮码头只有15分钟的路程。此外,萨莎还向我们介绍了牙买加文化,并举例说明了如何使用当地的方言进行交流。
海滩非常美丽,海水呈现出碧蓝色。尽管之前的评论中提到了一些混乱的情况,但海滩上完全没有,只有游客和当地人在欣赏美景。救生员和保安人员数量充足。不过,我建议带上水鞋,因为水底偶尔会有一些小石子和贝壳。海滩午餐远超预期。从我们抵达海滩到离开,萨莎与所有相关人员都保持着密切的合作关系,确保我们度过了美好的一天。
之前的评论说工艺品市场的摊贩像猎物一样盯上游客。但我们这次的经历却截然相反。摊贩们都很友善,而且似乎很享受和游客讨价还价的过程。我们13岁的儿子最喜欢这个环节。萨莎的出现以及她与摊贩们的良好关系起到了至关重要的作用。
我强烈推荐大家在游览牙买加时参加这个岸上观光项目。
