Creator's Key Takeaways

Right before I went, the US State Department said, "Do not travel level four." We're talking kidnappings, crime, civil unrest.

When I docked in Montego Bay and while the port area was full of shops and felt secure, I heard multiple stories from people who left the port and came right back after being harassed or feeling unsafe.

Right before I arrived, the US warning was at level two. exercise increased caution. And there had been 18 murders the month before, some in broad daylight.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check the latest travel advisories from the US State Department or UK foreign office websites.
Be cautious with excursions; avoid random taxi tours at the port and book with a cruise line or verified tour operator.
Stay on board or within secure port areas if you feel unsafe.
No flashing jewelry, no designer bags, no wandering solo into back streets; stay in busy areas and trust your gut.
