An overdue answer to Mr Black

Alberto Gutiérrez answers Randy Black's commentary about "Cubana" and the cruise ships visiting Cuba on regular basis: "Aeroflot resumed flights to Havana, just as Mr Black said. Some "Cubana" services, however, are provided by other airlines such as the Brazilian "TAM". As for the 11 cruise lines going to Cuba according to Mr Black, using his internet information sources I did my best trying to get a reservation "on any boat going there". I phoned "Cunard"(1-800-2214770),"Norwegian Cruise Line" (1-800-327030), "Carnival Cruise Lines" (1-800-3279501), "Royal Caribbean Cruise Line"( 1-800 3276700) ,"Holland America Line" (1-800-42603270) and a few others just to confirm what I already knew: THEY DON'T GO TO CUBA . After seven negative inquires I gave up. The sources Mr Black cited are not adjusted to the facts, but it doesn't surprise me. Propaganda always has been one of Castro's greatest assets. In other words, no Cuban seaport is a regular playground of foreign cruise ships . As matter of fact not even the port of Miami, which according to many people is the world's capital of cruises, is the base and much less is visited by 11 cruise lines".
