We just completed 2 7 day cruises that were back to back spending Sat and Sun on both cruises in Havana arriving around noon on Sat and leaving at 4 pm on Sunday. We had a great time seeing Havana. If anyone is interested about the Cruise let me know.

Thanks, Paul. That’s very kind of you. Glad you got to visit the island. They need all the tourism they can get. Such a beautiful place with a fascinating culture, an incredible history and very interesting people.

It appears more Cruise Ships are going to Havana. We had to fill out a form for ea that we turned in when checking in at the port. Because everyone on the ship wanted to get off, a form for everyone was dropped of at the cabin(because they were numbered, you had to turn in or else would be charged for the Visa). It was a very simple routine with the cruise ship handling the Visa application. We had to get a Visa for each cruise.

So did you bring home Cuban rum and cigars to share with your friends?

I'll never tell. Had the famous rum drink at the bar Hemingway made famous- talk about standing room only. Everyone wanting to try his rum drink.

If you went to "La Floridita" then that drink would be the daiquiri. I think he drank too many of those. Mojitos were my drink of choice in Cuba, but when I lived in St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands rum punch was my dancing juice.
Here I am helping "Papa" with those daiquiris at "La Floridita" (or defiling his statue, whichever).

The bar was La Floridita and we had the mojitos- the bar is a tourist trap but a must place to go. We also had the drink at the National Hotel- a institution and must see. What a joy riding around Havana in a 1949 Chevy convertible taxi- that was a must do for Kathie. Kathie got a painting of a convertible in front of the capital building to hang on our travel wall. We really enjoyed the tours offered by the MSC Cruise Line we took seeing Havana. What a experience doing the tourist tour of Havana on the double decker bus for over 2 hours and being able to hop on/off along the route.
