Cuba the new destination?

With the news that USA restored their relationship with the old enemy, Cuba, Carnival have announced yesterday go ahead to sail to Cuba. The company said it was still seeking clearance from the Cuban government but the trips could start early next year. With the world largest cruise company adopting Cuba as one of their destinations, I am sure lots of others will follow very soon. The United States and Cuba have been working to thaw relations after more than five decades of animosity that had led to trade embargos against the communist-led country. Americans are still banned from visiting Cuba as tourists but are allowed to go there for one of 12 reasons, such as visiting family or participating in academic, professional, religious or educational programs. Carnival will use the 710-passenger vessel, the MV Adonia, for its Cuba cruises, which it said would start at $2,990 per person, excluding taxes and other fees. It is exciting news as Cuba has so much to offer and to my opinion is a lot more interesting than most Caribbean Islands. I hope more cruises will be available in the future featuring Cuba!
