It was selected because he really wanted to go to Jamaica, and it was one that offered that port of call in the time period in which we all could travel.

Our party had a total of thirteen people including 2 over 60, 3 in their 40's, 3 in their 30's, a 19 year old, and four children. We did not stay in a hotel because a relative lives in Miami so we stayed there, instead.
