You can't get there by cruise ship or recreational vessel but you can easily fly in via a neighboring country.

Place was a mystery since it was closed for so many years but in reality it is just another dumpy 3rd world island nation.

Had some friends go just a few weeks ago and yes dumpy. But you know I have a little different view, why can't we go? I have been to china so much I have a Chinese name and its communist country.

I thought maybe if enough "free world" travelers went there the people would see how much better it was and force a change. But who knows, and like JS said, you can still go just stop at another country first.

I don't think it helped US/ Cuba relations any when Cuban troops helped Maduro keep control of Venezuela.

I think it’s a bummer, I was hoping to take the boat there next year... I could care less about politics, all I wanted was a good cigar and a mojito...
