Viking Star/Cultural Cuba - Frequent Cancelled and Changed Ports?

Focusing on Cuba, I suspect some of the problem is the absence of a developed infrastructure for the volume of cruise business now arriving. A port like Santiago de Cuba will be swamped with  3,000 visitors in a day. And, that's easy to see.  One cruise ship will do that. I would be amazed if the city could produce 75 - 100 competent, English speaking guides and one hundred buses.

 

In five years these problems will be in the rear view mirror. In the meantime, an intensive development of cruise-worthy guides and itineraries would be a superb goal for the local government.  I don't know if English language arts are taught in the schools, several guides said they learned the language on their own.

I hope these problems will be resolved by the time we go next February.

 

Has anyone been recently?
