kskelley40 Posted October 6, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 6, 2018 We did the 5-day Cuba cruise in September. Only went to Havana and LOVED it. It is quite easy to embark and not at all the hassle others have posted. Just fill out the forms the cruise line gives you ahead of time. This will save time at embarkation. You will get your Visa at check in. Take it to your cabin and fill it out later. Don't need it until you dock in Cuba. At the Cuba pier, once you get off the ship you will go through customs. Must have your passport, photo ID and Visa. They will scan your passport and stamp it. Next is money exchange. Both lines were short for us, but we had a ship's excursion and were ones of the first one off. I heard that if you did not have a ship excursion, the lines at custom got longer later. Havana itself is wonderful. We did the Walking tour of Old Havana through the ship and it was great. Lasted about 4-5 hours and was well worth the time and money. We had 4 hours after our tour to go on our own. Found a great local restaurant for lunch, shopped a little, and finally grabbed a couple of beers from a street restaurant and sat on the curb watching the old cars drive by. We enjoyed it so much that we have booked a longer cruise next year for an overnight stay in Havana and 2 other cities in Cuba. You do not have to do a ship's excursion according to the information we received on the ship. They had several seminars leading up to our arrival for information and questions. They also replayed it on the TV. We found it easier to do a ship's tour to get an overview of the city and we definitely did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted October 6, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Terrific trip. Sailed Empress the first time Majesty the second and loved both cruises. Those sailings are for the itineraries, not the ship. Royal Caribbean does a great job (once on board) to prepare you for your experience.
