Jamaica Excursions w/Toddlers

[jktmom]

We are looking at a 7 night on the Fantasy in May with a stop in Jamaica. Are there any beaches close to the port? What excursions do you recommend with a 2 year old?

No beaches near the port but there is an AI resort across the bay that books through (shoreexcursioneer (https://shoreexcursioneer.com/falmouth. Have seen it booked on other cruise lines as well so maybe you can do it through Disney. Royalton hotel in Falmouth. Very sheltered beach and decent food. We actually prefer the Hilton or Occidental (Montego Bay area but went through Falmouth port excursion). Haven't seen these through Disney but have only been to Falmouth once with that line. Usually we go with Royal. In May you still may be required to take ship excursions.

Last Disney trip took tubing excursion at Good Hope Plantation with a 7 year old. A two year old would love it but the ship won't book that young. Tubes are closed bottom type and even 7 year old was kind of down inside the tube.

Disney excursions for Falmouth are here https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/port-adventures/caribbean/list/falmouth-jamaica/ . Not many for 2 year olds. Our kids loved killer whales at that age but granddaughter freaked when touching dolphin at age 4. You might want to look at the Jewel Beach excursion. This has had mixed reviews over the years (tends to be crowded) and it is a good hour from the port on the other side of Ocho Rios. We've booked it a couple of times but the cruises got cancelled and we never got to go.
