Montego Jamaica to Cuba ports

[Skeeterman]

Anyone here taken a cruise from Jamaica to 5 stops in Cuba? It's offered by Celestyal (I think). There's a website yourcubacruise.com. Just curious to hear any experiences.

There was a long thread under Other cruises on this cruise

Mostly taken by Canadians & British in the past 2 yrs under the Louis cruise ship (same company just name change)

You need to consider the legal ramifications of taking this cruise. It probably does not qualify as an appropriate cultural or educational experience for a US citizen and thus it is illegal for you to visit Cuba.

I saw in articles about the Fathom cruises to Cuba, that this cruise is offered to US citizens, and they are handled differently than others, and must meet the requirements of the "cultural exchange" clause (probably 8 hours/day of programmed cultural exchange, no idea what that entails).
