Bonnie,

Please can you confirm and clarify the following:-

1. We will need to buy the Azamara supplied Visa regardless of where our passports have been issued.

2. We must purchase an Azamara tour in order to get off the shi

3. How much will the Azamara visa cost?

Many thanks

Bonnie,

No, the regulations will not be different for two reasons:

• Azamara is wholly-owned by a company subject to U.S. jurisdiction
  
• the voyage disembarks in the U.S.
  

Guests will still need a visa to disembark in Cuba, and will need to participate in at least one tour per day [to go ashore.]"

Does this mean that we will need to buy the Azamara supplied Visa and a tour in order to get off the ship?.

As I am not a US citizen why can't I obtain my own visa and use that without being forced to take the one supplied by Azamara?

Whilst I understand that Royal Caribbean is a US based company the Azamara Journey is not registered in the USA.

Bonnie,

I am also on this cruise. As a UK passport holder I have checked the Cuban Consulate web site and though there are specific requirements for travel from the USA visitors from other countries need only a Tourist card unless they come directly from the USA. As the Journey leaves from Lisbon and does not go to the USA until after docking in Cuba I can see no reason why I should not be allowed to obtain my own Tourist card.

For anyone sailing before mid -March I have a referral coupon that you can use.

If you are the delightful couple who were on our trivia team on Azamara Quest's Transatlantic in November, we would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We talked about you going on this trip and how much we would love to have been able to join you.

Of course, we send all of you who are enjoying what sounds like an amazing experience on Seabourn Quest our very best wishes - and we are so envious! Antarctica is most definitely on our bucket list.

Elaine and Ray
