DaveyHOST
I'm here to help you.
DaveyHOST
Um, still, in the months leading up to the island's 1972 general election, the opposition People's National Party, PNP, created a weekly musical political bandwagon that toured the island from Kingston to Negril.
DaveyHOST
So many of the reggae acts on the show performed songs that were banned by the JLP government.
DaveyHOST
Then at this time, the government censored songs that they deemed pro-PNP songs.

I want my girls to have fun, though.

Negril.
Beenie ManGUEST
'Cause Jamaica.
speaker_19SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Why did you say it like that?
Jacquese Pierce-ThomasADVERTISER
I'm gonna keep saying that.
Beenie ManGUEST
Why?
Jacquese Pierce-ThomasADVERTISER
I feel like Negril is where the trouble is.
speaker_19SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
With the shoulder to shoulder was crazy.
Gary SadlerGUEST
Because at, in Ocho Rios, there's a Sal- Sandals Golf and Country Club that is located in the Ocho Rios region of Jamaica where it's, where it's included.
Gary SadlerGUEST
But if golfing is not important to you and the beach, j- you wanna jog on the beach every morning, well, then, there is Negril.
Gary SadlerGUEST
So Negril, which is on the western end of Jamaica, is a complete opposite of Ocho Rios on the eastern end of Jamaica, where...
Gary SadlerGUEST
So it's, it's really a question of you deciding what you want.
Gary SadlerGUEST
If you want a little bit of everything, then Montego Bay is a perfect option.
Gary SadlerGUEST
They don't want excitement.
Gary SadlerGUEST
They don't want to be partying.
Gary SadlerGUEST
They don't wanna be in Negril where it's quiet and it's seven miles of beach.
Rick MessinaGUEST
The only vacation I ever took in my life was in 1982.
Rick MessinaGUEST
Craig Shoemaker got me a deal on a house in Negril, Jamaica for five days.
Rick MessinaGUEST

Rick MessinaGUEST
Yeah, that's my vacation.

JBHOST

Dijon PowellGUEST

Dijon PowellGUEST
In these tourist hubs.
Dijon PowellGUEST
Yes.
Dijon PowellGUEST
Yeah.
Dijon PowellGUEST
Especially in Negril.
Dijon PowellGUEST
Yeah.
Dijon PowellGUEST
Um, good point.
Marsha-Ann DonaldsonGUEST
They really are, and the distinction really speaks to the personalities, and that's why qualifying where is best suited for who is traveling is always so very important because the personalities differ, not just in the actual resorts but the sections of Jamaica.
Marsha-Ann DonaldsonGUEST
And so the expression of what you're looking for, do you want fun? Do you want adventure? Do you want a long walk along the beach? Do you wanna see sunrise and sunset? Do you want to actually be in a more relaxed setting where it's either seven miles of beach on by Negril or two miles by the South Coast? So, you know, the diversity is there, and isn't that beautiful that we're able to offer that? There is something for everyone.
Randi WestHOST
Truly something for everyone.
Randi WestHOST
How does getting married in Jamaica differ, though, from some other popular Caribbean destinations? I mean, for, as far as a destination wedding location, there are some differences.
Mark FaldmoHOST
There are several hotels there.
Mark FaldmoHOST
And this is over in the Negril area.
Mark FaldmoHOST
Yeah.
Mark FaldmoHOST
But one thing there is Rick's Cafe.
Mark FaldmoHOST
But it's a great atmosphere, kind of great Jamaican laid-back atmosphere.
Mark FaldmoHOST
Again, the best sunsets.
Patrick WiscombeHOST
