The news that the U.S. and Cuba are moving toward normalizing relations after half a century has many people buzzing, including the cruise industry. Quoting from the website TravelPulse, who asks "Could Cuba Be the Cruise Lines' Next Big Port of Call,": "If Cuba opens up to U.S. tourists, it would have an immediate and impressive impact on the cruise industry. For decades, cruise ships have sailed around the 780-mile-long island, which sits smack-dab between South Florida homeports and popular islands such as Jamaica and Grand Cayman. 'It needs some lipstick and love to bring things up to standard,' said Vicky Garcia, the Cuban-American COO of Cruise Planners. 'But it could be very exciting.'"
Very exciting, indeed. As they say in TV, "stay tuned."
