Msc repositioning to and from cuba

We are looking at a repositioning cruise either to or from Havana. Has anyone done this cruise, either or both ways. I would like to know if MSC provide the tourist visa and if it is included in the cruise cost or an additional charge. The reason I am asking fellow CC members and not MSC is that msc admin is not great, as we all know, so I would like to hear from someone that has actual experience. Thanks in advance.

MSC do not supply the Tourist card you apply your self either through The Cuban Consulate by Post, filling in their form

Hello,

I was just on Opera out of Cuba, MSC does provide the Cuba Cards they charge $15 EUROS for them. No problem you will receive them on-board.

Thats ok If you are on board travelling to Cuba, but

If you are flying in to Cuba, then you need the Tourist Card prior to the cruise, otherwise the airline will not take you.

Thanks for the information. Krikket will you be posting a review of your trip, I would love to hear your opinion
