irina==are you are talking about the cruises through that Carnival affiliate? If so, they are legally authorized.

OK, you are worried about something happening in Cuba or you are worried about US officials? They have full permission from the US government to go there, so if your concern is US officials, I don't think you should be concerned.

Sorry to hear that you won't be able to go. I am looking forward to when there are better opportunities to visit Cuba myself. The Carnival cruises seem really expensive for what you get..

Price may have gone down some. I think to begin with it was something like $3000 a person.

Prices for seven-day itineraries to Cuba start at $1,800 per person, excluding Cuban visas, taxes, fees and port expenses and including all meals on the ship, onboard experiences and several on-the ground activities. Reservations can be made at www.fathom.org/cruise-to-cuba.

Irina--I see in the paper today that Cuba has backed down on their policy. Are you thinking now about going?

According to that story, that warning has been on the website since 2015, so it is not a new warning. I will be interested to hear if there are any official updates to the Cuban policies, especially in light of their changing their policies regarding those coming by sea, versus air, immediately prior to the cruise. I definitely do understand your trepidation though!
