Royal Caribbean has changed the itineraries of three of its cruise ships to avoid Falmouth in Jamaica, according to the local mayor.

Colin Gager said the cruise operators “have decided to take their businesses elsewhere for the coming season and next year”.

He added: “The pullout of the three vessels, which together bring in about 10,000 visitors per call to the port, will result in losses of about J$5 million (£30,347) monthly.”

Mr Gager said the lines are concerned about the security of their guests, namely “visitor harassment, among other issues”.
