Falmouth
JamaicaPortRoyal Caribbean built this pier in 2011 beside a genuine Georgian town - Falmouth has some of the best-preserved 18th-century architecture in the Caribbean, most of it derelict. The port itself is a gated shopping village designed to imitate the town next to it. Outside the gate the vendor pressure is immediate and heavy, and most passengers leave on an excursion rather than explore.
- Luminous Lagoon bioluminescence, on evening calls
- Bamboo rafting on the Martha Brae
- Dunn's River Falls, about 90 minutes east
- Good Hope Estate for zip lines and ATVs
- Getting ashore
- Ships dock; the port village is at the gangway and old Falmouth is just outside the gate, but expect persistent hustling from the moment you step through.
- Best months
- Dec-Apr is driest; May and October are the two rain peaks, and Aug-Oct is hurricane season

What Travelers Say About Odyssey of the Seas
Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Odyssey of the Seas sailing. Distilled from 185 traveler threads, passenger reviews and travel blogs.
Odyssey of the Seas is a 2021 Quantum Ultra-class ship (about 4,198 guests at double occupancy) built around marquee, tech-forward attractions that older ships can't match. The North Star observation capsule lifts you more than 300 feet above the sea, RipCord by iFly simulates skydiving, and the SeaPlex indoor arena hosts bumper cars and the fleet's best Playmakers sports bar. The atmosphere is energetic, family-friendly and gadget-heavy, and its 4.5/5 aggregate guest rating sits above most of Royal Caribbean's older hulls.
What People Love
- Best-in-class attraction lineup: the North Star glass capsule rises 300+ feet on a robotic arm, plus RipCord by iFly skydiving and the FlowRider surf simulator
- SeaPlex is the fleet's best activity hub, with bumper cars, pickleball, basketball and soccer, and the best Playmakers sports bar (56 TVs) of any Royal Caribbean ship
- Modern 2021-built Quantum Ultra cabins are praised as spacious, comfortable and well-designed, with smart use of space
Common Complaints
- Feels crowded despite not being the largest ship, especially on sea days and on sailings from the U.S. East Coast
- Popular venues (Two70, Music Hall, Schooner Bar) fill up for game shows, bingo and trivia; you must arrive 15+ minutes early to get a seat
- Top attractions like North Star and RipCord have very limited capacity and sell out fast, so spontaneity is hard and app reservations are essential
