Cuba on Dream

Hi, has anyone done the Cuban fusion cruise on the Dream? I am looking to book for March and wondering what other people thought of it. Also any info on the ship. We have always cruised large ships. Thanks

Dear Tigerwilf

We did this cruise along with the Mayan Treasures in January this year, so good that we are booked for the Cuban Reveloution next January.

I posted a full review on the Cruise Bulletin site called Superb Cuba.

not booked yet do you pay a departure tax

they say that there is a $22 exit tax in jamaica....but no one asked for it

here's the relevant extract from my review

but, bonus! .. . the Jamaicans didn’t charge the $22 exit viza fee that thoms had taken great steps to warn us all about

not booked yet do you pay a departure tax

You do notary the departure tax in Jamacia if you have been on a cruise only holiday. The departure tax only applies to people who have had a land based holiday on the island.

thanks for that

i wonder why they always seem to go to such lengths to warn us about this tax when we are booking a cruise online?? if there is no tax to pay for cruise passengers??:confused:

Thanks Geomagot just read your review. Loved the photos.

Fwiw, my view is and I shouldn't perhaps say it here, if you want a reasonably good overview of Cuba before it becomes "Americanised", go on a 14 day escorted trip.

We did such with Saga last November and, thanks to our guides, learnt much about the place.

Dear Geomagot

I think it is because a lot of people do a cruise and stay over the two weeks, as we are doing in January and as we will be returning to the airport from a hotel, we will be due the 22 dollar charge.
