Our final cruise stop was Falmouth Jamaica. Falmouth is an interesting port with a significant historical role in the world trade in sugar and (more notoriously) slaves. It's also the home of Usain Bolt.
However we didn't get to absorb any of this history. After our less than stellar shore excursion in Cozumel we limited our visit to the specially constructed tourist focussed shopping enclave at the recently built large cruise ship port. We didn't really have the energy or motivation to venture further afield.
Back on board there was plenty of time in the afternoon and evening for photos as we upped anchor and sailed off into the sunset. I (Eric) did get one dose of Jamaican and Caribbean culture - watching the cricket on TV while doing my evening treadmill run while we sailed away.

It was still an interesting excursion and we brought a few small trinkets unlike our one big purchase at Grand Cayman. We even joined the Cruise shopping director for a while as he guided a group of eager shoppers from venue to venue.
