Hoping this is the right location as Jamaica sits off the coast of Central America.
As Ian pointed out in another post, Cruise Ships take too to a location, they Dock between the hours of 0700 to 0900 and then leave the ports between 1700 to 1900. That means it leaves you with the most unflattering light of the day to take photos. It's a challenge but can be done.
On these images we Dock in Falmouth at 0800 and left at 1800. Our tour started at 1000 as we boarded a bus and had to travel 1 hour to Montego Bay, where we stopped at the Montego Bay's Oldest Church. St. James Parish Church,, built around 1775. We had 10 minutes to use the rest room and take photos, before heading off to the next sight.

Jamaica is a very poor country, despite that the government has a 25% flat tax on income + 2 1/2% School Tax + 2 1/2% Social Security Tax + a 16 1/2% Consumption Tax on everything you buy. As you travel down the roads and see the housing, it makes you wonder what the government does with the monies they collect.

Our last stop must be run by the tour company as it was in an enclosed farm where we were able to taste some of the local cooking that they adapted for tourist taste. Here on some of those images:

Form there it was a long bus trip back to the ship, then board before the 1800 departure time.
