Disembarkation Process in Havana, Cuba?


Recommended Posts

Are there any oddities about disembarkation and re-embarkation in Havana?

 

Are waist packs examined by Cuban and/or ship personnel, extra procedures to ensure that visitors get on the proper shore excursions, limits on walking off for some self-directed explorations, whatever?

 

We have cruised to other nations, but not to one requiring a visa.

I cruised to Cuba last August you stand in line waiting to see Cuba immgration they take your visa and stamp your passport it’s not a quick process everyone has to go into the little white office one at a time but your in port a long time so no big deal they check bags coming and going

As Brits we did not need a visa but the entry process was a long slow queuing nightmare. You then need to get your Cuban tourist currency. A DIY wander around Havana isn't difficult as long as you have a town map. The large indoor market is up from the port on the left. They will not change back currency under £20 / $20? Entry a second day if still in port was quicker maybe as having been through once already. There was also a long queue to get through the port to board the ship again.

Cant remember about on shore bag checks but always checked when returning to ship.
