Leaving child on board - visa?

[chadci]

Our child has been on several cruises with us, she just turned 6 and has a gold card. She LOVES going to camp and typically goes when we're in port. We're excited to visit Cuba in November. We're Booked with Blexie and we'll plan to leave her in camp during our tour. Will she be required to have a visa to stay on board in port? It's fine if so, I just don't want to spend the $75.00 if I don't have to.

Yes, I believe so. Check here for further clarification: https://www.ncl.com/freestyle-cruise/cruise-travel-documents#Cuba

I'm kinda thinking so too.

Check with your cruise line.  I know MSC had an option to return the Visa and not be charged if you were not going ashore in Cuba.

RCI said no visa if you are staying on board.

Cruiser933,

What did you check off on the GUEST CERTIFICATION FOR AUTHORIZED U.S. TRAVEL TO CUBA

for your reason to visit Cuba?

Support for the Cuban people (31 C.F.R. § 515.574) ?

That has absolutely nothing to do with a visa.
