Arrived 7/16 - Smooth Experience

I find it interesting how comfortable you are with blatantly lying and seeming to be proud of it, or maybe just find it amusing. If you start to show symptoms, will you contact the health department, or was that also a lie? And I would expect that no matter where you are staying, you could order meals to be delivered if you cared to, rather than just declare that the rules you agreed to follow are unrealistic.

Reading this thread and the attitudes you express makes me think I need to be much more cautious about travel.

I agree, it's this type of arrogant attitude that will get the whole island shut down again.
Perhaps someone should pass this thread on the the health authorities.

Don't worry, they already know about the thread. The JTB has been checking out our site for decades.

I was talking with some higher ups at the JTB last night - will write more shortly.

It's too bad that there are some people who think that the rules and guidelines do not apply to them. They just affect things negatively for everyone else. Jamaica is handling this pandemic well, and it is because of these rules and guidelines that the death toll has remained at 10. Let's all follow the guidelines and adhere to the rules so that Jamaica can also recover from the economic impact of this virus and everyone, visitors and residents alike, can be as safe as possible.

Not only do they think the rules don't apply to them, they go ahead and post it on the message board including where they are staying.

Rob - With all due respect... Masks have been required since the country re-opened.. yet I do not see you reporting these in your posts as "Tourists" for not being within protocol...

Did JTB come and get them??? Did you assist in capturing the violators?

Please consider that not only hotels are open but also businesses that offer excursions are open.. both approved by JTB.. so how can excursion companies be approved to open (with Covid restrictions), while at the same time ALL visitors are supposed to stay on their hotel property???? Common sense people... The same JTB that certified the hotels, certified the excursion companies… SMH

I have a residence in Georgia an was leaving out of ATL, where the the Mayor requires masks in public places, and at the same time the Governor was suing her... clearly heading in a direction of being added to the high risk list, I went ahead and took pre-test while not required as an insurance policy against stupid leadership of the state...

So had I not been considerate of the conditions and the risk... I would not have ever taken the test.... but as my post said.. my family is from the island and I am not here as a mere tourist, but my knowledge of how the island works I :

1 - Took the precautions of taking a test while not required
2 - Answered the question as if any other person who would NOT been required to take the test would have answered, since I could not respond with a test result...

I am proud of having knowledge of how the island works and knowing and understanding how "the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing".

As for ordering meals... hahahaha.. no I prepare my meals in my apartment. If the Prime Minister and the Jamaica Tourism Board are not on the same page with regulations and restrictions, do you think that the unregulated "Jamaica Uber" could ensure produce and/or meals are delivered with sanitary protocols being adhered to? Gimme a break...

If you have any doubts in vacationing in Jamaica because of someone who has experience in traveling here shared some common sense... Then stay your ass at home...

Oh your such a sweat heart. I bet Georgia really misses you.

Not as much as Jamaica misses me... that's why I'm HERE!!!
