Welcome to episode #125!

Cuba has become an enigma and a curiosity to travelers, especially to cruisers for many decades. It is the closest foreign island to the United States, but it was the least visited and restricted to Americans. 

Not anymore now! 

For over two years now the cruise lines have been making port stops to Havana, Cuba and Americans are learning, experiencing and enjoying the sights, sounds, entertainment, food and drink and so much more.

On this new episode, we have our listener, Ron, share his recent cruise on Royal Caribbean's Empress of the Seas and his two day port stop at Cuba.

Ron shares some amazing stories, tips and helpful hints on how to prepare and what to expect when you visit this beautiful and intriguing destination. 

Here are a few video clips from his cruise to Cuba and his 92 year old friend having the time of her life.
