点评:We went on this excursion to Discovery Bay whilst passengers on the Celebrity Beyond. Though I hesitate to write anything bad about Jamaica now as Hurricane Melissa is barreling toward the island as a Cat 5, I must say that this is a shore excursion to be avoided when the island recovers. It was well managed and organized however, by Ashore Group, and our guide Katie was fabulous. But the venue itself and it's amenities, were meh. The beach is not all that sandy, seems a mix of sand, rocks and broken coral - so in order to be safe, best to wear beach shoes. It is a nice beach to swim, very calm, warm water - got in a lot of laps, so the exercise element is a positive one. And there are plenty of beach loungers under large umbrellas, a good point. The food is ok, but it is limited, you don't go back for more if you take a fancy to the jerk chicken for instance. And oddly, there are no rum punches included. As many times as we've been to the islands, not once was there a time on an excursion where at least one rum drink was not included. Very disappointing. If they gave us one, the chances are good that more would be purchased! Grease the wheel, so to speak, but alas. Our tour guide, Katie, was fantastic! She really was. She told us so many stories, told us so much history, we learned a lot! And the driver, Trevor, was also very good. But Katie truly was wonderful, really enjoyed her perspective as a local, lots of insights.
翻译:我们乘坐 Celebrity Beyond 号游轮前往探索湾。虽然我现在犹豫着要不要写任何关于牙买加的坏话,因为飓风梅丽莎正以 5 级强度向该岛袭来,但我必须说,当岛屿恢复正常后,这是一次应该避免的岸上旅行。不过,Ashore Group 管理和组织得很好,我们的导游凯蒂也很棒。但场地本身和它的设施就很一般。海滩的沙子不是很丰富,看起来像是沙子、岩石和破碎的珊瑚的混合物——所以为了安全起见,最好穿沙滩鞋。这是一个适合游泳的好海滩,非常平静,水很温暖——游了很多圈,所以锻炼身体是件好事。大遮阳伞下有很多沙滩躺椅,这是个优点。食物还可以,但种类有限,比如如果你喜欢牙买加烤鸡,你就不会再来了。奇怪的是,里面没有朗姆酒潘趣酒。我们去过这些岛屿很多次,每次旅行都至少包含一杯朗姆酒。真是令人失望。如果他们给我们一杯,很有可能还会有人买!说白了,就是为了锦上添花,可惜了。我们的导游凯蒂太棒了!真的太棒了。她给我们讲了很多故事,讲了很多历史,我们学到了很多!司机特雷弗也很棒。凯蒂真的很棒,她以当地人的视角,分享了很多见解。
