Dr. Yes: A Secret Agent in Jamaica

Words by Kaci Hamilton

Late-night blackjack, exotic ports of call… we’re taking some risks on the high seas with bold patterns and flowing silhouettes for cruising this summer. Follow Rachel undercover aboard Royal Caribbean’s Independence of the Seas on the Welcome to Jamrock Reggae Cruise as she channels her best Honey Ryder.

Even secret agents go on vacation. Billowing and bold, it’s time to go ashore.

This red, green and gold tunic serves up a lethal dose of camouflage, as she becomes a local in disguise.

First up is a swim in the healing waters of Montego Bay’s Doctor’s Cave Beach. No shells to be found, however, amid the caverns of the aging pier.

Salt-kissed, she casts a watchful glance behind her, daring you to come closer.

The sun begins to set, dappling the gunmetal waves. It’s time for a martini. Shaken, of course. Never stirred.

Back on the Independence of The Seas, our agent indulges recording artist Kabaka Pyramid with tales from the field.

A quick change into a plunging LBD and top knot disguises her from the watchful eye of Spectre.

Shall she try her luck with the slots? A black pique mini-dress is the surefire lucky charm.

The femme fatale awaits her mark at the Ruins restaurant, an original location from the first James Bond film, Dr. No.

Ever the chameleon, she is part vixen, part ingenue.

The mission must come to an end. The final report? Go with the flow.
