Key West - amrstack's Rating: 5+

We love Key West! It is such a low-key, completely relaxed, anything goes environment, and it absolutely offers something for everyone. Take your time and enjoy the local flair. Some of the friendliest people we've ever met have been Conchs. We are the pub-crawler type, but if you like to shop there is definitely a huge selection of shops to choose from. This visit we also took some time and browsed the Weiland Art gallery which was just amazing.

Grand Cayman - amrstack's Rating: 5.0

I'm giving Grand Cayman a "5" simply because it was very clean and we felt very safe there. We didn't do any shore excursions here because we had planned to go to Seven Mile Beach on our own, but it was overcast and drizzling so we window-shopped instead. We also got our passports stamped at the port authority office. We then tendered back to the boat, just in time to miss a huge squall. I would really like to visit Grand Cayman again and actually spend a couple of days there as the beaches and water look amazing.

Ocho Rios - amrstack's Rating: 3.0

No! I do not need a taxi! No! We do not want any illegal drugs! Do NOT touch the hair. Ugh.

We didn't book a shore excursion for Ocho Rios either. I really wish we would have booked something. We ended up at the Twisted Kilt, an "Irish" Pub in the Harbor Shops. The house lager is very, very good, and they have an upstairs with a great view of the port area and steel-tip darts. While the pub was fine, and the views of Jamaica were superb, I did not feel safe there and would probably think twice about going back.
