The photos from Montego Bay are below.  The Lirica arrived a bit late at Montego Bay (probably due to leaving Ft Lauderdale 2 hours late), and we found we were going to tender instead of dock.  We left on the first tender at about 1:15PM, & the tender pilot came in towards the dock too fast & brought the waves from his own wake with him, which caused the tender to bob too much to dock.  The tender did not almost turn over as reported by one reviewer.  After edging back & forth for a minute or so, the tender pilot moved the tender out away from the dock until the waves died down, then went in much slower & was able to dock .  We found a great taxi driver at the dock, Vince, who charged us $5 each ($20 for the 4 of us)  to go to an all-inclusive resort.  Vince came back at the time when we had requested, & it was the the same fare back to the dock $5 each ($20 for the 4 of us).  When Vince picked us up, he told us the Lirica had come into Montego Bay & docked, & Vince delivered us to the docked ship, after a brief stop at a small bar & shop, up high, overlooking the bay.  We visited the shops at the dock for about 30 minutes before going back onto the ship.  The Lirica did not leave Montego Bay until around 9PM.
