SkaterJasp Posted June 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Just got off Empress of the Seas! Another amazing trip. Put together a quick video that highlight what I did in port. I opt for the self guided people-to-people which included hiring a taxi for 40 cuban peso per hour and met with local skateboarders and talked about their day to day life. 90 Miles South 90 Miles South: Photo Journey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petstylist94 Posted June 25, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I've heard cash is the only option there. What would you guys recommend as far as carrying it? I've heard that pickpocketing can be an issue. I considered getting a fanny pack lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petstylist94 Posted June 25, 2017 #12 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Also does anyone know anything about the medical coverage that the Cuban government requires? Vacation protection from carnival covered that but we opted out. I didn't realize it was a requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's even an option to opt out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess what she meant was medical coverage on the ship. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
