As much as I wouldn't like to see Fidel Castro get any money out of the port
fees & think the people would benefit more from the cruise ships stopping
there. The average Cuban citizen doesn't get much from their "government" &
at least the tourists would help generate some sort of an economic boost.

Since most cruise ships aren't American flagged there probably isn't a
reason that they can't go to Cuba, is there?

They would not be able to leave from American Ports. So you'd have to have
cruises embarking from Cancun or Cozumel, or other ports in the Caribbean to
do so.

Castro's sitting pretty and has been all through this "boycott."
Whether ships with Americans come to Cubaor not is not an issue for
Cubans. Millions of Europeans and Canadians with common sense enough
to know these sanctions have done absolutely nothing at all to impact
Castro, who's living quite nicely, thankyouverymuch, go to Cuba every
year.

Just as a point of clarification, Americans are not prohibited (by the
State Department) from going to Cuba, they are just not allowed to
spend money in Cuba, a Treasury Dept. restriction.

Yes, but a cruise means paying port taxes, those port taxes to Cuba would,
by definition violate the Treasury department restriciton.

Yes and yes. Unfortunately there is a very large and politically powerful
group of Cubans that do not want American citizens to be able to do this
so
until the politicians finally tell these clowns to take a hike don;t look
for it to happen. It certainly will not happen during an election year.
Maybe summer of 2005 right after the big elections and as far away from
the
secondary elections as possible.

But it's this same group that is sending American dollars to their loved
ones still living in Cuba. It's ironic~US dollars still make their way to
Cuba by the very same grouup that does not want us trading with Cuba.
