Jamaica's Falmouth Port Still Not Ready

Royal Caribbean has announced that the port of Falmouth, Jamaica is "still not ready to deliver the high standards we are striving for."   Because of that, they have once again pushed back the schedule for their ships to begin their stops at the new port.  Royal Caribbean was scheduled to start using the port on January 7 with a visit from Navigator of the Seas.  This has been rescheduled to February 17 with the honor going to Voyager of the Seas.  Ships scheduled to call on Falmouth prior to that will instead visit Ocho Rios or Montego Bay.

The Dutch construction company working on the port has stated that the facilities and shops will not be ready until March and the terminal will not be 100% until April.  Royal Caribbean has been working with Jamaica since 2008 to build this new port with enough space to accommodate the massive Oasis Class ships.  They are developing the entire area to make it a tourist zone complete with an old town 17th century look to celebrate the area's history.
