The Scorn's Round Up

Wow… has it really been 3 years since my last Bacchanal Jamaica experience?
After 2015 these words come to mind:- "Why Oh Why Had I Forsaken Thee??"

>For anyone wanting to experience Bacchanal Jamaica Carnival follow our professional guidelines: - you are sure to have a marvellous adventure & vacation. Let's face it, Carnival is all about SUN, RUM and FUN (pun intended).

For those of you fortunate enough to be living in Jamaica you experience the full season which starts 6 weeks before the Easter weekend. However, for all non-residents we strongly advise you land in Jamaica on Good Friday and you leave Jamaica the Monday after the Bacchanal Jamaica parade. A total of 10 days! For all the working public that's 5 days from your yearly holiday allotment, but oh it's so worth it!

Accommodation:

Easter Weekend we spend in what the Jamaicans refer to as "country" and what us foreigners refer to as tropical paradise - Ocho Rios. Please note that even with the new highway if you land in Kingston the drive from Kingston to Ocho Rios is still a whopping 1 hour and fifteen minutes. Please be aware, there are tolls.

>We do not recommend driving this stretch to and from each day, so we strongly advise staying in Ocho Rios for the weekend of Good Friday to Easter Monday. Suggestions: Sandcastles Holiday, Ocean Sands, Mystic Ridge, Hibiscus Lodge, Jewel, RIU and if you are a baller there are numerous Sandals resorts.

The rest of your trip will mostly be spent in New Kingston. Various hotels are available such as Spanish Court, Pegasus & Knutsford Court Hotel; all of which are central to most of the events.

If push comes to shove, you can always crash by a friend, or a friend of a friend, or a friend of a sibling, etc etc … you know how that goes!!

Transport:

Rent A Car. Not anything fancy. Just something to get you from A to B. Depending on people to drive you places is a nightmare. Depending on people as a rule of thumb is a nightmare! Rent A Car … A "put put"!! And don't depend 100% on GPS, Google Maps, Waze to get you to the right destination.

Food:

At most hotels breakfast is usually included, so you would just need to consider lunch or dinner, depending on when the party is that day. We recommend maybe a budget of US$20 to US$30 a day. Scotchies and Sweetwood are good spots for Jerk and Ribbiz for the After Party. Safety!

Drinks:

Most of the events during Jamaica Carnival are drinks inclusive with one or two exceptions and they are cooler events. No need to worry there! Prices range from US$30 to US$90.

Events:

Trini Jungle Juice Carnival Connoisseurs recommended line-up:

Good Friday (Arrival date):-
Land, Relax, Lime, Eat some local food, Catch up on some sleep.

Saturday (Morning):- Frenchmen Rise Up Breakfast Beach Party – All Inclusive – Energy – Location is sexy as "your first time".

Saturday (Afternoon):- Beach J'ouvert – J'ouvert - Paint – Water – Live Performance – Drinks Inclusive

Sunday:- SUN RUM FUN – Carnival Catamaran Cruise – Drinks Inclusive (lots of Appleton Rum) – Swim Stop at some of Ochi's best beaches

Monday:- DUSK – Drinks Inclusive – Fantastic venue with a vew to die for.

Saturday:- Sunrise Breakfast Party …. *speechless*

Saturday:- Frenchmen Bazodee – Premium Drinks and Food Inclusive

Sunday:- The Parade – Road March – Bacchanal Jamaica "Untamed" (this year's presentation). Jamaica is in our Top 3 Carnival parades ... hands down.

After a Line Up like this … all you need to do is get on a plane and leave! Reality patiently awaits you.

Scorn's DO's and DON'TS for Bacchanal Jamaica:-

- Do bring your posse (circle of friends) with you. You have to experience this carnival with your peoples - Do not miss any parties or limes. It’s a full week of events - Do not speed when driving. Jamaican police officers are no joke (although they do mistake people for Machel) - Do go to Hellshire for the local cuisine. although it is an "odd"location – the seafood food and the prices are fantastic - Do not leave any valuables in any car, at any location, at any time!! - Do go to Maiden Cay and enjoy the beautiful water, the marvellous sand and the unimaginable vibe and positive energy that it provides - Do not wear your beads when jumping into the ocean … they will be lost - Do get a SIM card (Digicel or LIME). WiFi is sketchy and roaming will dig out your eye - Do drink Appleton Rum – VX, 21 Year or Reserve. Even if you are not a rum drinker, any one of these three (3) …. Heavenly - Do try Wray and Nephew overproof Rum which is a local favourite. Be warned that it's the same an Puncheon.

A huge Big Up and Thank You goes out to the entire Bacchanal Jamaica Committee – you are the best thing since slice bread; Appleton Rum, Pure Country Juice, Red Bull, Kes, and all friends and family of Trini Jungle Juice ... you know who you are. Anybody who we have forgotten … we LOVE YOU still.

That's all the Carnival said … go through the galleries … look at the videos … and if you do get the feeling, vibe and energy … we shall see you in Jamaica 2016!

Bacchanal Jamaica ROCKS!
