jorgecoelho Posted January 21, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) We are looking at a holiday cruise on RCI that is in Cuba on January 1, 2020 from 8 AM to 8 PM. Has anyone been in Havana on January 1? Is this going to be a ghost town given the holiday with most places closed?

CruiseFanatic223 Posted January 24, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 24, 2019 We just booked the Empress of the Seas that'll be in Havana 1/1/20 and I am wondering the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorgecoelho Posted January 24, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted January 24, 2019 That’s the same exact cruise we have booked now. We had a cruise a few years ago that stopped in Puerto Rico during a holiday and most places were closed. There’s always the option of the RCI excursions, although we’ve found that you can get similar or better experiences for a fraction of the price.

CruiseFanatic223 Posted January 24, 2019 #5 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Just found this online. I know the RC website is showing Havana as 1/1/20, but I guess there's a chance we'll be there on the 2nd. http://crew-center.com/sites/default/files/empress_of_the_seas_cruise_itineraries_2019.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdever Posted February 8, 2019 #6 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Isn’t January 1st Cuba’s Independence Day? I would imagine it would be very festive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure, but I'm looking it up now. It seems that it is a holiday, just not Independence Day. January 1 is listed as Triumph of the Revolution and Victory Day, or Liberation Day while October 10 is listed as Independence Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. That is really good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
