Any cuba cruise reviews yet???

Looked on search forumn and maybe too early,,,,not sure when they started this yr.

Booked on one for next yr. and am curious...esp .with all the new travel restrictions.

There were some earlier this yr but only to Havana

Next up Nov 24th to 3 ports in Cuba

Thanks for update, mine is the 3 port one next yr.Will have to wait a bit for any members on next one to post a review.

Know when I booked this, it was almost all full for this yr.to Cuba, and much of next.Sure O will do its best to make cruises safe and enjoyable,,,even under tighter restrictions.If people cancel,,,sure many on waitlist to take their place.

I know, we booked many months ago for Dec 2018 and it sold out months ago. Rick

Good, then look forward to your review here. Hope all goes well and you have great time.But, let us know.

Sure would like those cruisers who leave Nov 24 to set up blog and photos here,,,would be appreciated.

Alexandra, I’m with you... I want to hear how Oceania does the 3 port cruise now that there are greater restrictions. No excursions listed yet for my Dec 10 of 2018 departure yet but the ship appears fully booked. Time will tell but I’m hoping to know by April - trying to surprise my DH with the reservation as a birthday gift.

You could always look at the upcoming cruises for the excursions offered

They will probably be the same for next year

Thanks for the tips. Will check that out. First cruise seems to be leaving today,,,,if I got date right. So any of you onboard,,,lots of us eager to hear how it goes.

Does anyone know if private tours will still be allowed?

CalledO and they didn’t know. Very confusing.

For US citizens? Has Oceania issued a statement?

Just to clarify

When is your cruise ?

When did you book it?

On the left side of the FAQ's page there is a tab

https://www.oceaniacruises.com/faq/

CUBA then read through the rules there

Also check on the Ports of call forum here under Caribbean > Cuba

Lots of discussions from US citizens on their visits to CUBA

Just booked. Dec. 15. Will look at FAQ. Thx, helpful.

If you just booked your cruise, you will have to take the ships tours. Only those who booked prior to June are grandfathered in and allowed to take private tours.

Thanks. How do you know?

I doubt they will have "minders" following US citizens around so you can take a chance & do your own thing

This is the official party line

What if I purchased my voyage on or after June 16, 2017?

Guests who purchased their voyage on or after June 16, 2017 can travel to Cuba under the group people-to-people general license and participate in OFAC-compliant people-to-people exchanges through Oceania or a third party U.S. sponsoring organization accompanied by a U.S. individual of the sponsoring organization to ensure a full-time schedule of educational exchange activities intended to enhance contact with the Cuban people and that will result in meaningful interaction between the passenger and individuals in Cuba.

I agree that you are unlikely to get caught, especially since almost everyone else on your cruise purchased before the June deadline. Of course, I have no idea of the level of scrutiny US cruisers to Cuba are receiving at Miami customs.

I’m sailing on Insignia December 21 to Cuba and booked in September 2017. I was looking forward to going off on my own but now I am concerned.

Will be interested in how they handle this. Check ea.passenger as they leave ship for booking date? Seems odd. If on O excursions,will we need a special sticker? Talk about standing out as VISITOR.

Wonder if this will cause many to cancel?

Maybe O customer service will let us know??

So far Oceania's response when I called them was to blame President Trump. I was told that we will not be allowed off the ship if we are not on an approved tour.

I must say that I think that will be impossible to enforce.
