Back in April 2019, a friend proposed going on a cruise to Havana, Cuba. I thought it would be an interesting to place to see and so I agreed to go. Besides, the price was quite reasonable with Royal Caribbean.
About a couple of months later, President Trump halted cruises to Cuba.
When Trump (supposedly) lost to Joe Biden in the 2020 election, it was rumored that the Biden Administration would resume cruises to Cuba. They never did.
Right now, talks are taking place between the Cuban government and Trump officials.
According to USA Today:
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel on March 13 confirmed his government is holding talks with the Trump administration, in the latest sign that the communist-run nation is open to signing a possible historic economic deal with the United States.
Díaz-Canel made the announcement in a video broadcast on national television and he also spoke in a subsequent press conference, where he addressed Cuba's energy needs amid a U.S. oil blockade, saying no fuel has entered Cuba in three months. He said the talks with the U.S. have reached initial phases only.
"These conversations have been aimed at seeking solutions through dialogue to the bilateral differences that exist between our two nations," Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel on March 13 confirmed his government is holding talks with the Trump administration, in the latest sign that the communist-run nation is open to signing a possible historic economic deal with the United States.
"These conversations have been aimed at seeking solutions through dialogue to the bilateral differences that exist between our two nations," Diaz-Canel said.
If these talks bear fruit, there may be a possibility that an agreement would allow Americans to take cruises again to Cuba.
