We are going to Cuba on a cruise in June. Im aware that you need a Visa as an American to go there and that it has to meet one of 12 different conditions to qualify. However, the cruise line leads you to believe that you have to do one of their shore excursions to qualify and I know that isn't the case. So my question is, how do you go about getting off the cruise ship and meeting one of the qualifications that meet the visa?
From what I gather Trump did roll back some of Obama's shit that does make it slightly harder to go now. Apparently it used to be easier to just walk around by yourself but now you're supposed to actually have something set up with a company of some sort. But I was kind of figuring that nobody really checks shit like that so i'd imagine it's basically the same as it was.
I was just there a few months ago. Flew in from CostaRica for a 3 day trip. No visa, no paperwork, they didn't even stamp my US passport. I actually wanted them to. They want US tourists and the money. Hung out in Old Havana, very cool there. Cheap, goodrestaurants and a bunch of bars and clubs to go to. Very safe, you can walk around the city at 2am and nobody will mess with you. Nice people, nice place, lots of old US cars are all over. Lots of women too. Have a great time.
