  1. Just back from the Quest voyage to Cuba over Thanksgiving. OBC was not permitted to be used for the Cuban "visa". There was a lot of confusion, and anger, aboard about touring on your own, ability to get off or stay off the ship on your own and if or when you had to do a ships tour. It was the opinion of many we talked to that Azamara was forcing people to do their tours unnecessarily. We filled out the affidavit stating our reason for travel was to "Support the Cuban people", hired a private guide who was not affiliated with the government or military, made reservations and ate in paladars, listened to music in private clubs, shopped in private stores, and had many "meaningful interactions" with Cuban people. We had a wonderful time in Havana! I am confident our activities satisfy the letter and spirit of the regulations. I will keep records of my activities for 5 years, as is required by the regulations.

    I am going to Cuba on Oceania December 21 and booked in September. With the new regulations we are only allowed to get off the ship if we are on an approved tour. I am quite upset about this.

    When did you book your trip? If you booked in May or earlier you should have been on the old regulations and should not have had any problems.
