My son, @Ethernut clued me to a post yesterday, from @GotaCohiba who is on a cruise to Havana, and having immigration procedure delay issues. I'm in Florida for the cold months, and scheduled to sail on this cruise, with Royal Caribbean, on Sunday from Miami. We stop in Nassau, Key West, and Havana (7am to 5pm) on Jan 25. To be legal, we scheduled a 3-4 hour tour, and will have 3-4 hours to ourselves and the Cuban taxi drivers. The tour is actually looking pretty good, with a drive down the Malecon, and stops at Revolution Plaza, the Capitol, Morro Castle, El Cristo del la Habana statue, and a drive through Fusterlandia. Royal Caribbean makes trip certification easy by using the following procedure: For ease of completion, of travel docs, Royal Caribbean has arranged the affidavit Into 3 parts: Part A: Guests exclusively participating in the Royal Caribbean tour program should select Part A and complete the identification information in the last section. Part B: Guests traveling on a self-guided people-to- people exchange program should select Part B and complete the identification information in the last section. Part B does allow for guests to split their full-day schedule between tours purchased from Royal Caribbean and activities organized on their own. I chose Part B, and looking forward to a day of full of running around and enjoying Havana for a day. If anything unusual happens in the procedure, as with GotaCohiba (above), I'll post back here.
