Reviews
The Travel with Kids franchise, created by husband-and-wife filmmakers Jeremy and Carrie Simmons—who present themselves and their two kids as “the Roberts family”—sallies forth to Jamaica as the couple and sons Seamus and Nathan, age 5 and 7, roam the tourist-friendly tropical coasts of the nation. The capital city of Kingston, although an airport hub, is not on the itinerary; instead, the trip covers the island’s north shore—including Montego Bay—and the less frequented west coast. The parents’ alternating narration offers tips and recommendations on resorts offering personal nannies, one-time pirate anchorages, horseback rides through water, a bay that glows at night with bio-luminous organisms, and the open-to-the-public Jamaican dog-sledding center. The family also takes occasional detours off major tourism routes to absorb Jamaica’s more “authentic” small villages and culture. Pop-up tips and website references advise viewers on where to go for further information. DVD extras include a trip planner, bloopers, tips and resources, and a “Jamaica at Home” section (featuring recipes and crafts). Recommended.
