Cienfuegos, I believe I visited a city in Cuba which shares your name. Are you from there?

 

No, although I once made an un-escorted walking tour through that city on my own.  It was amazing how different neighborhoods look when you are off the designated tourist pathways.

 

In Cuba, tourist buses and escorted tours travel on very precise pathways. I figured I would be picked up by the police, but I had no problems at all.  Saw what I wanted to see, hailed a cab, and went back to the ship.

It looks like the dining venues don’t have many tables for two.  Do you get seated with strangers?

This particular trip, we were traveling with another couple.

 

I think there were enough tables for two, and/or not enough parties of four to fill up the four-tops, so we would’ve been able to dine alone if we were traveling by ourselves.
