The Port Antonio port is much smaller, but it is by far the most romantic spot with its tranquil surroundings and relaxing setting.

The winter season, which starts in December and end in March, is actually the most popular time for the cruise ships in Jamaica. To a greater extent, this could happen because of the appeal of the beautiful sunshine at this destination even throughout the winter, which help to make the visitors from up North flock the shores of Jamaica. Because of the traffic during this time the Jamaica cruises will end up being more costly.
