Cuba cruise ship ban unsettles travelers

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Travel to Cuba has become more difficult -- and more confusing -- for US citizens and travelers subject to American jurisdiction.

Cruise ships will no longer be allowed to sail to the Caribbean island, according to a Trump administration announcement Tuesday, and the industry is scrambling to understand the full implications of the policy change.

Norwegian Cruise Line said in a statement that the company is "closely monitoring these recent developments and any resulting impact to cruise travel to Cuba. We will communicate to our guests and travel partners as additional information becomes available."

Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines announced that it is changing itineraries for June 5 and June 6 sailings that were scheduled to go to Cuba. The cruise line also said it is still evaluating the impact of the announcement.

1. I have a co-worker that is stuck in this limbo

They are travelling from Boston to South Florida and have no idea what happens next.

Never mind whether the policy makes any sense (it doesn't), the arbitrary and unscheduled nature of this is just crazy.

But you know....Obama.

2. Glad I went there in 2018.

3. Why does Trump want to give this trade back to Mexico?

Who is he punishing other than U.S.A. citizens who want to take a more direct route to Cuba?
