Monarchs getting to finally sojourn in Caribbean destination (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kingston

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'caribbean destination' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'monarchs getting to finally sojourn' is the wordplay.
'monarchs' becomes 'kings' (king is a kind of monarch).
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'finally' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'sojourn' is 'n'.
'kings'+'to'+'n'='KINGSTON'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kingston that I've seen before include "Capital of Jamaica" , "island capital" , "Jamaican capital" , "Royal borough on river Thames" .)
