Souvenir Buying Tips
- If you’re buying T-shirts and are looking for larger sizes such as 3XL, 4XL, 5XL, or 6XL, expect to pay a few dollars more. These will have been custom-made and contain more material.
- The Wood carvings are hard to price; they have been lovingly hand-made, so it’s the carver’s time, years of expertise, and skill. So bear that in mind when you’re negotiating with the wood carving artists.
- Oil Paintings, the same principle as the woodcarvers, made by Jamaican artists, negotiate with an appreciation of their time, effort, and work.
- Regarding the Rum Cakes, Rum, Coffee, and Hot Sauces, you can buy a variety of packs that the retailer has put together. For example, Aanchal of Karina’s Gifts and Tees does a pack of 2 oz coffee, a small rum cake, a small bottle of Rum, and a bottle of hot sauce for $20.00. Such a bargain and you get a taste of everything Jamaican to take home.
- You have several shopping areas to choose from, and each one will sell all or most of what is listed above. There are three major cruise ship docks in Jamaica Ocho Rios, Falmouth, and Montego Bay.
Buying Souvenirs in Ocho Rios:
Taj Mahal Shopping Center is a 3-minute walk from the Terminal with excellent souvenirs.

Exclusive Souvenirs in Falmouth, Jamaica:
Falmouth Pier all the shops are right there as you come down the gangway. Several shops sell souvenirs and other goods in a secure area adjacent to the dock.

Where to buy Souvenirs in Montego Bay, Jamaica:
Shoppes at Rose Hall – with several souvenir shops.
If you are in Montego Bay, then there is some shopping right by the ship, but not much. Shoppes at Rose Hall; there is the Hop on Hop off the bus. Not such a great service, so I would recommend taking a taxi there and a taxi back; there are a couple of stops along the way so that you can have a couple of hours on a beach before or after your shopping spree.
