We signed up for the Rose Hall night tour, but the hall was closed for a private event the night of our tour, so the order got switched around and we did Rose Hall during the day. Rose hall was fine, but our guide at the hall was unenthusiastic. I can't blame her because they wear period clothing and it was over 90 degrees F that day, but still. The Montego Bay highlights was neat. We were going through downtown when school was letting out, and got a nice view of city life in hectic downtown MoBay. We stopped for lunch at…”
