Cruising to Falmouth Jamaica with service dog

[Big Red Dog]

I will be cruising to falmouth Jamaica at the end of 2014 with my service dog. I noticed on the site that Kingston is the only port of entry for animals. Is that still true? Do they still not allow animals in from the U.S. without quarantine? We will only be there for a few hours. Just need to know if I can get off the ship or if my service dog and I will need to stay on the ship.

Thank you.

Re: Cruising to Falmouth Jamaica with service dog

Only pets not vaccinated for rabies that are born and bred in the United Kingdom, Ireland or Northern Ireland are permitted to enter Jamaica. This includes service animals. The entrance requirements are very strict and pets from those countries can only enter in Kingston. You can find more details here: http://www.pettravel.com/immigration/jamaica.cfm Unfortunately, your pet will need to stay on the ship while you are in Jamaica.
