Cruiserbarbie Posted January 13, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I agree. We are on MOS at the end of August and can't figure out if I have to book a tour as a requirement or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzeit71203 Posted April 13, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 13, 2018 On Holland America in March to Havana and Cienfuegos. We used Old Car Tours in Havana for a six hour tour. Cost was $240 total for three of us with driver and English speaking guide. I highly recommend this company! You do NOT have to book a tour through your cruise line. I found Cuba to be a wonderful port. It seemed very safe to me and the people are welcoming. All people easily accepted American dollars for tips. Exchange dollars for CUCs after going through customs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzalady1 Posted April 14, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 14, 2018 You do NOT have to take a ship tour! And YES, you can get off the ship and do anything you want on your own. When you complete the OFAC Affidavit, select "in support of the Cuban People". We are also using Old Car Tours www.oldcartours.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailor_Sally Posted June 21, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Any feedback on Majesty of the Seas for Cuba n cruise? How is the ship? Took Brilliance in Med last year and a bit disappointed. Thoughts? The Majesty is older than the Brilliance and smaller . The rooms are tiny but all the ships going to Cuba are small and older .We just got off the Majesty and it was fine for our trip to Cuba ..

Sailor_Sally Posted June 22, 2018 #11 Share Posted June 22, 2018 We did a tour with fer Tours . Six hours for $140 cuc . They start with a walking tour if you are able and then pick up a old car for a tour to Fustlandia , Havana Forest , Revolution Square and any place you want to go . We had lunch in a tiny place . Two Cuban sandwiches which were very good and two beers for $6.00 .We also stopped at Sloppy Joe's Bar . The tour was well worth the money .
