Creator's Key Takeaways

It's incredibly windy here today. I don't know if that's easy to tell or not, but it's crazy windy.

The water here was very nice, very clear. There was quite a bit of seaweed, but the workers were doing their best to kind of rake it up and get it out of the way.

We got three dresses for $30. So, $10 each, but he only said 40. And then I panic.

This is one of the nicer ports that I've I've seen so far.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Always check the excursion desk for potential discounts on excursions.
Be prepared for windy and cloudy weather, even in a tropical location.

YouTube Video Description

Our stop in Falmouth was a meaningful one. The town is still rebuilding after Hurricane Melissa hit last October, and we were on one of the first cruise ships back in port. It was special to see the resilience of the community and support the local vendors while they continue to recover 🇯🇲 We started the morning with an excursion to Blue Waters Beach Club. It’s a beautiful beach location, but the weather didn’t fully cooperate—very windy and cloudy for most of the morning—so we didn’t get to enjoy the water as much as we hoped. Still, it was great to be there and experience it. After heading back to the cruise port, we walked through the shops and explored the local craft market. I picked up a hand-carved wooden swordfish, and @its.mackdavis bought sun dresses for our friends’ children. You’ll see the full negotiation in the video — part of the fun of shopping local! This was all during our sailing aboard Freedom of the Seas with Royal Caribbean International, and it was great to be back supporting the island as tourism begins picking back up.
