Confusion between resort and viator
There was confusion about the shuttle time. Royalton told us that the shuttle left at 12:15, despite our email advising us of the meeting time of 1:10. We were in the lobby at 1:10, and the bus that said West Negril was leaving. The boat ride was decent. Rick's Cafe was fantastic.
Just book it at the resort to save you the headache.
Operator response
I don’t know who gave you any such information, we sent you an email and a text message the day before which you read both, with the correct pick up times on both. The bus was at the lobby at 1.10pm and picked up 15 other persons that all managed to be there. Royalton do not operate any catamaran excursions hence we have no idea whome you apparently spoke to, as the text you sent us said you were waiting in the lobby at 11am for a 1.10pm pick up.. we
Have your texts that you send within the group

Not for adults over 60
If you are considering the Jamaica catamaran tour starting from Montego Bay that includes stops at Margaritaville and Rick’s Café, I recommend fully understanding what the experience entails before booking.
The tour is approximately ten hours and is centered heavily around a party atmosphere, with loud music and profanity that some guests may find offensive or degrading. The bus ride is nearly two hours each way, and the music was played at a very high volume throughout much of the trip. Unfortunately, the driver seemed to cater primarily to the party group, making the experience especially unpleasant for those of us seated toward the back of the bus where the speakers played directly in our ears.
The stops at Margaritaville and Rick’s Café did not allow enough time for a proper meal. There is no food provided on the boat, so unless you can purchase carryout at one of the stops, you could potentially go nearly eight hours without a substantial meal while consuming alcohol—a combination that is not ideal.
I have enjoyed several wonderful excursions during my stay in Jamaica, but unfortunately, I thoroughly regret making this tour my final night. Based on my experience, I would encourage anyone considering this excursion to carefully review what is included and make sure the party atmosphere, music, transportation time, and limited meal opportunities align with their expectations before booking.

The host, Festive, is the best with a fitting name!!! The vibe and energy was fantastic. It was a non-stop party from beginning to end.

Great boat experience, pick up location not the best.
It was advertised as adult only on trip advisor but when we got to the departure spot there were children and we were told that adult only days were different to what were advertised.
The boat trip was amazing but the pick up venue had very slow service. We ordered food (only chicken wings and fries so it shouldn’t have taken very long) a hour before departure and we ended up having it given to us in a takeaway box to take on the boat. Not ideal as you have to walk through the sea to get to the boat and I wouldn’t think a lot of people would want to eat soggy fries on a moving boat so we ended up throwing the food away.
Operator response
Hi there thanks for your review, I’m glad you enjoyed your cruise, yes there were 3 under 18 on the boat that day as we had a issues with beach person at the other location and moved the guests to the other location to avoid beach person issues, we do value the happiness of our guests. Again I’m very glad you had a good experience and I will be getting in touch with the restaurant staff to make haste when dealing with cruise guest orders
Travel home safe see you next time around

What better than best? This boat cruise!!
We made a mistake and they gracefully adjusted and that made the amazing cruise immaculate. The staff on the boat were extremely attentive and very fun. My only complaint is it ended but i will be back!!
