⭐ History
The Port of Falmouth is a popular port-of-call for many cruise ships and is located on Jamaica's north coast in between the other major port cities of Montego Bay and Ocho Rios.
Falmouth was founded in 1769 and named after a town of the same name in England.
During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Falmouth was one of the busiest ports in Jamaica.
It was home to masons, carpenters, tavern-keepers, mariners, planters and others.
It was a wealthy town in a wealthy parish with a rich racial mix.
Within the parish, nearly one hundred plantations were actively manufacturing sugar and rum for export to Britain.
Jamaica, during this period, had become the world's top exporter of sugar.
This made Falmouth a central hub of the slave trade and the now notorious cross-Atlantic triangular trade.
Many slave ships arrived at this port, full of West African slaves who were auctioned off to local plantation owners
In the Falmouth Harbour as many as 30 tall-ships could be seen on any given day.
Many of them delivering slaves transported under inhumane conditions and loading their holds with rum and sugar manufactured by slave labour on nearby plantations.
Falmouth was operating as a free port in the early 1800's.
This meant that it was exempted from charging certain types of tariffs collected at other ports throughout the island.
This encouraged many ships to dock at Falmouth Harbour, bringing with them a number of undesirable individuals, especially white sailors who were often drunk and disorderly.
The Stone Cage near to the harbour was built to hold these drunken, disorderly sailors.
When Fort Balcarres was built adjacent to Charlotte Street, that function was transported there to hold these disorderly sailors.
Fort Balcarres has been the site of a primary school in recent years.
Steamboats began to arrive in Jamaica in the 1830's, and it signaled the end of Falmouth as a major port town.
These bulky vessels needed deeper waters to dock, and Falmouth Harbour was not deep enough.
Several attempts were made to deepen the harbour, but Falmouth never regained its former glory.
Railway transportation was introduced into Western Jamaica in the 1890's, and because Falmouth could not handle steamboats, the town was bypassed for Montego Bay.
⭐ Present - Falmouth Jamaica Cruise Port
On March 22nd, 2011 Jamaica had the grand opening of the Historic Falmouth Cruise Port (HFCP).
Since the recent modernization of its harbour, Falmouth can welcome some of the largest passenger ships and has experienced a sort of “re-birth” as more visitors than ever arrive to discover the treasures this lovely town has to offer.
The port has themed retail shopping spaces alongside a dock with two berths that are capable of hosting modern cruise ships.
The port has been a stop for Royal Caribbean Cruise Line’s Oasis of the Seas (which did its maiden call on the grand opening day) and Allure of the Seas, two of the world’s largest cruise ships.
The Historic Falmouth Cruise Port is being pioneered as the first-ever thematic cruise port destination and commercial development centre, transforming the historic town of Falmouth, Jamaica into a host city for the growing cruise industry.

Falmouth, Jamaica: Complete Port Tour
This is a complete port tour of Royal Caribbean's custom built port of call in Jamaica, Falmouth. Most ports are developed by a city or island and grow over time. Falmouth on the other hand was created by a cruise line as a new destination for passengers. It is built on a new peninsula near the village of Falmouth about half way between Ocho Rios and Montego Bay. The port itself is fully developed and seperated from the rest of Jamaica. All workers within the port must be approved by Royal Caribbean and granted access to the area making it significantly more secure and welcoming an area than the other ports of call within Jamaica. The port first opened in the Fall of 2010 after being delayed by over 6 months from it's original Spring date as part of the launch of Oasis of the Seas.
We visited the port on January 17th, 2014 while on board the Grandeur of the Seas and were alone in port, but it is built to easily handle two Oasis class vessels at once.

Historic Falmouth
A short video about the new Falmouth cruise ship development in Jamaica - owned by Royal Caribbean paid for by the heavily indebted government of Jamaica - Historic Falmouth Jamaica TM a new tourist destination will compete with the actual historic town of Falmouth - the development of Falmouth and the jobs promised by the government will not happen and instead existing Falmouth small businesses are being displaced, the environment is being ravaged, and yet again the people of Jamaica have been conned by fake promises
Falmouth, Jamaica | CruiseOne
Dotted with charming 19th century Georgian buildings, Falmouth is one of Jamaica’s most enchanting historic towns. And it also makes a remarkable port of call.
The adventure begins from the moment you step off the ship. Take a guided walking tour along the quaint streets of this community and admire one-of-a-kind British colonial architecture.
Falmouth thrived for decades when Jamaica was the world’s leading sugar producer – now, this town of about 30,000 people is a vibrant destination for travelers. And the Falmouth cruise port is a bustling hub of activity.
Although there are several small beaches nearby, you may want to take a trip to the sun-drenched sands of Montego Bay instead (this city is located just 18 miles from Falmouth). Or travel east to Ocho Rios, where you can cool off while hiking Dunn’s River Falls.
But you don’t have to stray far from Falmouth to find something fascinating to experience. For example, the Swamp Safari Village is the ultimate place to get up close with some of Jamaica’s most amazing creatures. Find out more about these and other Falmouth shore excursions by watching the video.
Jamaica's Falmouth Pier
We visited Jamaica's Falmouth Pier during Spring break 2011 and loved the newly opened pier so much we ended up staying there for the day.We shopped for artisan souvenirs,spoke to a local author and tasted a variety of specialty foods.
Tips for the autistic traveler:
The weather can be rather windy (you can tell by the video camera shakiness)
Since the ship stays in port several hours you can go after an hour or two to take a break back to the ship and return later

Falmouth, Jamaica - Port of Call - Golden Anniversary Family Celebration
Falmouth is a new port for the Allure and is far from the other tourist attractions in Jamaica eg Dunn's Falls. You can walk around the shops and visit the town, etc. We did not go very far since the golf cart tour into town that we wanted to take was fully booked. We should have taken it right after we went down. :-) Everyone went their own ways.
Golden Anniversary vacation (July 22-30, 2017) celebrations at the Allure of The Seas, Royal Caribbean Cruise. The whole family made the trip and had a great and memorable time.
Historic day at Falmouth, Jamaica
On March 22, 2011 the world's largest cruise ship, Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas made its first ever stop at the historic Jamaican harbour town of Falmouth.

Falmouth, Jamaica
Falmouth, Jamaica, or more specifically Falmouth, Trelawny, Jamaica is one of three cruise ports in Jamaica. Falmouth, Ocho Rios and Montego Bay handle almost all of cruise ship traffic.
Falmouth is considered by many to be like the Colonial Williamsburg of the Caribbean. Take a stroll through Falmouth's Historic District and explore an impressive collection of nineteenth-century Georgian architecture. Visit the Greenwood Great House museum, and you'll find yourself in the middle of the 19th century. Take a romantic ride down the Martha Brae River on a 30-foot bamboo raft. Hunt for bargains in Water Square, where you'll discover the Albert George Shopping and Historical center. And a trip to Falmouth wouldn't be complete without sampling one of the over 300 different Jerk recipes. See:
