The cruise lines seem to think we really want to go to Cuba. I live in South Florida and have many Cuban people( that I love) and many Cuban restaurants to eat at but do you really want pay extra and jump through hoops just to go here?

Almost 5 million tourists visit Cuba every year. It's the second most visited island in the Caribbean behind the DR.

That probably helps the cruise lines come to the decision that it's a worthwhile stop.

We've decided to not take my 22mo old DS's car seat on our 9-21-13 cruise.

 

If the hotel shuttle is a mini bus, I know it won't be a problem, but if it's a "van" will we be denied a transfer to our hotel?

 

Anyone else in the same boat? :D (lol) Any suggestions? This is our only concern, as we have booked a shuttle service (with car seats) to the port.

I'd book a car/shuttle service from the airport to the hotel just to be sure.

I had this same problem a couple of months ago when we took our 20 month old on a cruise out of San Juan. Where we live there's a car seat exemption for cabs and limos so to and from our airport was no problem, but I looked up Puerto Rico and they have no such exception. So rather than try my luck at the taxi stand at the San Juan airport I decided to bite the bullet and pay a bit extra for a private shuttle. The big shuttle companies all have car seats available for request.

Having it taken care of and not a worry was worth the extra $$
