Cuban travel card

Hi guys,

I have done a lot of reading over the last day or so and am probably more confused now than I was at the beginning lol.

I am soon to travel to Cuba and the Bahamas etc from Miami with RC departing from Miami, I have read that you must meet one of the 12 categories listed in order to gain entry and that it only permits you to enter once.

This can be done onboard at a cost of $75 pp however you can apply for your own for £26 ( big difference )

Has anybody from the UK had a similar experience and am I following the right path?

I have been directed to www.visacuba.com that comes highly recommended, however the online form asks you to specify your address for your stay! Is this as simple as just listing cruise company and name of ship?

Thanks for any help offered

Welcome to Cruise Critic. I would suggest two more places to read/post: the board here for RCI, undr Cruise Lines P-Z, and the Cuba board under Ports of Call. EM

Thank you :)

My understanding is that if you are sailing from the US, you must follow US rules, regardless of your citizenship. Though I can't say for certain.

I'm doing Cuba cruise also. My understanding is that doing the visa yourself can take many weeks, as many as 3-4 months. Letting the ship do it not only is convenient but it insures that you will actually have a visa when you board.
