If you enjoy observing people in proverty living in the 19th century, than have fun.  I went and it was the worst mistake in my life.  Not a good idea for a vacation if one wants to have fun and be cheerful, could not be more depressing.  I am not alone many of my friends and acquaintanes went and sorry they did.  It was a mistake and I hate giving my hard earned money to that dictator's country, where people don't have enough money for medicine, food, and other things necessary for daily living

 


Sorry you were not  aware of this being a cultural trip in advance. 


I understand the remarks. Just like St Thomas VI, beautiful beaches but if you venture outside the tourist areas, there you will see poverty and probably crime.

@reiki604 Do you need a chaperone, a cabin mate, a tag -along or just an old bud to go with you?  Smiley Happy

So jealous, Reiki604, I fell in love with Cuba when I worked with a nurse that emigrated from there in the late 50's..she told me beautiful stories when we were on our breaks..she was never able to return to visit her family. I still can hear her beautiful accent.

@Then my nephew was stationed with the Navy @ Guantanamo, for 4 years..unfortunately they were rarely allowed to leave the base! 

I hope you tell us about your upcoming trip!

Sadly this is exactly what Cuba is. If I get lost you will never find me in that Caribbean island there are many others. Try St. Lucia or Dominica.🌻And I love to travel and explore the world like tropics 21 does however if when I cruise the Caribbean is to charge my batteries and get some vitamíne D, generate serotonine, dopamine, run away from the never ending cold...not go back home drepessed. I admit that de gustibus non est disputandum.
