Happy you enjoyed my homeland! Nice to learn about an excursion we haven't yet done... Good Hope Estate! With the jerk chicken, that's festival, not cornbread. In Jamaica, we say rice and peas. It's cooked and tastes differently than Spanish rice and beans. Yes, as we say, Jamaica nice! 🖤💚💛

[@kimdee4275]

I thought the same! Yah mon! 🇯🇲 Rice and Peas - Festival - Big up, JA! See you next reach in Negril - Happy Cruising🥂

[@ameliarennie]

Screaming Rice and PEAS Griff!!! Rice and PEASSS 🤣. Not even gonna touch on the "cornbread" debacle 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Nice to see you guys enjoying my island. Definitely makes me miss it. Thanks for contributing to the local tours 💜

[@eleanor4482]

So happy you enjoyed my island home. Good Hope is so beautiful. Love it there. Thanks for sharing.😎

[@lacylouful]

Me and my husband were on this sailing and excursion! What a small world. My husband was fascinated with all your equipment and asked about it! Super cool. This was our first Royal Caribbean cruise.

[@Lori_L]

What is the name of the place?

[@catherinekayne1071]

Thank you so much for the review of Good Hope. Hoping my sailing adds this to our sailing in March. Alyssa I love the cover up!

[@queenofweaves916]

My husband and I are taking this cruise in April I’m so glad I found your channel. Congratulations on the baby 🥰

[@FraserAtSea]

This excursion looks great fun - what a beautiful little spot with the river!

[@suzannefoster6573]

As I tell my husband all the time, it is rice and peas not beans and rice and festival is not cornbread. From a Jamaican 😊. Love you guys!

[@cydneystephen2814]

Hey guys. Maybe I’m seeing things. Saw stuff floating in the pool. The waterfalls and zip line looks cool. Lad it’s a cozy spot. Food ok. Never heard of alcohol removed wine. That is awesome and chocolate 🍫 covered strawberries 🍓. Must be nice meeting your subscribers indeed. Thanks for sharing and see you next video.

[@trishkeller920]

We enjoyed Good Hope - we did the estate, not the water or other attractions. The building with the food is so nice and the food is great

[@genevievethompson3502]

Glad to hear you will be cruising with baby G

[@KathyLofmyshipiscalling]

It looks beautiful there! You look great Alyssa.

[@tonyh6438]

Me and my wife went on the zip line tour when we were there very fun. The guides were more than friendly.

[@davidrichardson474]

Love you guys channel. I’ll be cruising with RC on the Harmony of the Sea right after the New Year you guys channel is helping me out ALOT‼️ THANKS 👍🏾

[@mercyrodriguez5780]

We haven’t been in Falmouth in years! Apparently they are starting to go back! We liked it when we were there!

[@vilmasvacation8599]

Amazing video was the excursion through the cruiseline

[@candimax7775]

As cruisers just getting into the game, we stumbled upon your channel. Thanks so much for highlighting my beautiful island but they are not cornbreads....they are festivals. They are fried and not baked like cornbread. Also, when you're in Jamaica, it's rice and peas and not beans and rice. Great video, however!

[@FraserAtSea]

Welcome to 'the game'!

[@candimax7775]

@@FraserAtSea I thank you!

[@benpeters1940]

Here in the south we fry cornbread, but Jamaica's festivals look different than our fried cornbread.

[@kennywalker4091]

I've lived in the South for 40 years and our cornbread is always fried.

[@fluffytail6355]

Great video even though she’s wrong about all the food?

[@ScottTaylorRealtor]

Hey Griff and Allysa, I couldn’t quite make out what that excursion was. Congrats on the birth of your baby!❤🎉

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Wauw looked a lovely place to hang out in ,food looked so yummy. Love chicken . That was an awesome gift to get ❤️ nothing beats. Chocolate coated. Strawberries 😜 Have a good weekend 🥰

[@pamparham8630]

Wow nice scerny Jamaica is beautiful. My mother in law loves elephants too. Take care pam&gus

[@aliveandhearty7321]

Glad you enjoyed it. i held my breath when i saw your title "rude awakening" Good hope is one of my favourite local places to take people who are visiting. It was an old sugar plantation so if you are interested in history the great house tour is good. I also love to take visitors to YS falls and the black river safari but have no idea how people would get there from a cruise ship

[@vzp-so4rg]

Great video will definitely add this location to a list of potential excursions for us next time we port there. Great work!

[@guitarmayun]

You guys did a great Job...well done. The "cornbread" is really called "Festival". I enjoyed watching this.

[@fluffytail6355]

Festival is so NOT the same as corn bread!

[@TracyMault]

@griff & alyssa what exactly was the excursion called that you went on to Good Hope Estate? Heading there soon and I do not see this as an optionin our excursion list with RC.

[@dcaharelful]

Congratulations on the Babino good video. Cheers

[@GriffandAlyssa]

Jamaica SHOCKED us this round. I love when my expectations are shattered. If you think you’re not gonna have a good time here…you’re in for a rude awakening 😉

​@@GriffandAlyssathank you! Trying to pick our excursion as Jamaica can be a bust if you don't do your homework.

[@Kgrant0036]

Its crazy, how they built a cruise dock right in the town i grew up i lived at the bottom of the mountains in the background, where its hot

[@DarLa0341]

Great vid. Will remember this next time in Falmouth. Not a Delta but I love elephants.

[@AllthingsYo]

This was my favorite spot!!!! The staff was great!!!

[@sarahgreen7704]

When we visit Falmouth, we always buy Blue Mountain Coffee.

[@christianoliver3572]

I agree and although I buy it here from time to time But it never tasted the same.

[@thedaviszone5187]

Every time Aylissa was climbing a rock I was holding my breath. She makes me nervous lol. Bank G was in Jamaica!!

[@paulinegooden5630]

So happy that you are having a wonderful time in Jamaica 🇯🇲. . I think you had festival, not cornbread. Any enjoy your trip and be safe. I am a Jamaican living in the United States so I am happy to see you having fun.

[@roseannaenglish8353]

EXACTLY! Not cornbread no beans, peas.

[@crystaldixon7773]

I cruised last week with my six month old and we are going again in Nov It’s different but still awesome 😎

[@aliengineeringinc]

Great video! How did you get your drone on the ship and even better.. use it.. I thought ships didn't allow drones ...

[@dennischerone6780]

We hung out at Margaritaville & ate cheeseburgers in paradise. Bought "rastaman" magnets and some paintings from the local artists. And yes it was hot.

[@angelabrown3994]

Love Jamaica as well.

[@BuddyTheElf98989]

Does anyone know what this shore excursion is called? I was trying to look it up but was having a hard time finding it?

[@SamuelJMartinIII]

8:14 me too, as they are 1 of my totem animals + I collect elephant & Ganesh figurines 🐘

[@arosenweig]

It’s best to book a shore excursion thru your cruise line when calling in Jamaica because it’s safer than exploring independently.

[@regularjoe123]

Cracking up at the end Griff. “My mom loves elephants. She would love that.” 😂 🇯🇲

[@craigc1463]

Puff Puff Pass

[@regularjoe123]

I’ve thinking about taking the Harmony on a 5-night cruise this spring. We always do ocean view balcony but they’re so pricey! Your balcony looked great

[@karenmbbaxter]

I have a few kids so we are always broke and we choose the inside cabin and fit four of us in it and then sit in the solarium deck chairs or the many other comfy chairs with windows and watch the sea all day from there.......You then save heaps of money so you can go on another trip.

[@jamessexton4506]

As about 1 million comments have said (lol), it's true that Jamaicans call it "Rice and Peas" but the funny thing is that it *usually* contains kidney beans not peas so you observed correctly! Anyway, glad you enjoyed your trip.

[@PrettyAce07]

Thanks for sharing about this excursion. I would definitely consider it on my next non-resort trip to Jamaica. You were definitely eating festival not cornbread. Your mom may not appreciate that the elephant is green lol.

[@GriffandAlyssa]

Most definitely!

[@the1slowwine]

Griff, Your mom’s my Soror! Elephant collector here❤🔺🐘

[@andrewsabol5045]

Enjoyed the video Great excursion ❤️ elephant 🐘 😍

[@rabjmhb]

Looks like an elephant weed pipe you were looking at for your folks 😆

[@Lifewithalyssenandwilson]

love Jamaica!!!!

[@garyhart3408]

Saw your video, everything looked great! Just wondering what the “rude awakening” thing was.

[@saraoviyach4839]

Woohoo first here! Love the videos

[@DMRMEDIA]

Its actually called Rice and Peas (not beans and rice as most Americans call it), and festival is not cornbread, its made with flour and just a little bit of cornmeal in it before being fried in hot oil

[@GriffandAlyssa]

They called it rice in beans with cornbread tho…I’m so confused

[@IslandSPACE]

@@GriffandAlyssa I am so sorry they confused you with that...I know hispanics and other countries in the americas with a similar side item called theirs "beans and rice" so they just went along to make it easier (which honestly I have done that as well) but the I am definitely confused about the cornbread part, if you went to any other restaurant in Jamaica and asked for cornbread they would tell you "we don't carry that" cornbread is not even a common staple in Jamaica,but "Festival as well as Fried Dumplings" are a Jamaican staple for more decades upon decades. .....Love you channel though guys..keep up the good work

[@Lori_L]

​@IslandSPACE so are they actual peas or beans?

[@scplumme]

Where is this? What’s the name of the place you went? I couldn’t understand what you said

[@cocomill9468]

Can this excursion close to the Ocho Rios cruise port?

[@takedownspecialist1767]

Lol the elephant 🤣 Wasn’t that a bong or weed pipe of some sort. You crack me up. Looks like a fun day in Jamaica.

[@Lori_L]

Now i want one! Lol

[@johnfarmer1691]

good thanks

[@brendagrant2399]

I want to go home 😭😭😭😭 enjoy...look at the water, home sweet home 🏡

[@AshleyTravis]

You shoulda gotten your mum that elephant pipe hahaha this was a great video as always, thanks!

[@campincampbells2573]

do you get to pick when you leave the estate or are you stuck there all day?

[@melanieorr8022]

😂the “corn bread” is called Festival. It is made with flour and yes a little sugar is added and it is deep fried

[@sanfordpress8943]

This place is beautiful

[@beachbum333]

I'd like to check out the elephant myself!! (Most especially in Jamaica) I travel to Jamaica once a year, it's my favorite place to be. Peace to all.

[@clerveauremy4279]

What excursion was that?

[@keithjenkins109]

Where is located at from the Cruise Port?

[@robertbradt8249]

You guys are awesome ✅

[@dena-mo118]

We were on the Liberty and ported with you at Falmouth. Wish we'd been able to run into you. Loved this review of this excursion. Have to try this one the next time we're in Falmouth.

[@GriffandAlyssa]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@SamuelJMartinIII]

6:43 it’s not cornbread, it’s Festival (like you said before) 🇯🇲

[@NyahFyah1]

Jamaica looks awesome...

[@GriffandAlyssa]

It was! =]

[@artsyabbykadabby]

I initially didn't pick this excursion for our November Harmony cruise because it's marked "strenuous". But after watching your video, we want to try it. It is really strenuous??

[@GriffandAlyssa]

Not strenuous at all!

[@kymlyte]

Ohhhhhh... Jerk Chicken with Peas & Rice (or Rice & Peas) and Steamed Veggies!! OMGOODNESS... I need to book this specific cruise... Just Because of You!! Especially never being to Falmouth, Jamaica 🇯🇲 Griff, are your Pina Colada libations, Alcohol-Free or Spiked? Your footage during the excursion... Phenomenal Vibrancy.. Postcard Perfect 👍🏽

[@annparry8524]

How do you look after all your personal property when going off for a walk. We are cruising in November and have invested in some waterproof waist packs.

[@GriffandAlyssa]

I just leave it!

[@dbuchanan82]

This was a great video and the drone B-rolls were awesome. Just a tid bit or an editing tip, the food you enjoyed was rice and peas not beans and rice.

[@gabriellexoxo21]

What’s the name of this excursion?

[@marcpercy9538]

Since I know you have camera equipment, etc with you, did you feel safe with it or always keep it with you? We are going in March and are considering this excursion and I like to take my Nikon with me to get better pictures, but with all the reports of crime, etc on Jamaica, I wasn't sure if I should leave it on the ship and just use my phone. Also, I'm assuming the restaurant accepted cards?

[@ginadavis3309]

Yes elephants are awesome

[@mayratorres3879]

Hola, what is the name of the place please in Jamaica?

[@BlackPanther-yv7ib]

I notice you have some drone footage. Our papers from travel agent say we can’t fly drone on cruise and some islands prohibit from you flying as well. They will confiscate your drone on the ship. How did you circumvent this?

[@deniecey2]

I need your connection on the ship as we are going on Oct 16th to the same plsces for our 20th wedding anniversary!!!

[@frankhoo-mook5039]

Cornbread - correctly described as “festival” by the Jamaican viewers …….this is the Jamaican version of “Hushpuppies” which has long been on the menu of Long Jong Silver’s, the fast food seafood chain. The taste is virtually indistinguishable, unless you’re a gourmet/food expert.

[@christinamendoza9820]

What excursion is this. I leave Jan 29 on harmony

We do miss Ocho Rios thou. We now just hang out at the pier area and shop and eat at one of the restaurants. This place you guys went to does interest us and we will probably go there next time.
