11. From what I am reading it may be the Cruise lines that get in there first

Although there are hotels in Cuba many may not be up to standards for what Americans might like (again they want Corporate USA hotels in there). Hence why it would be the Cruises lines first to invade Cuba because Americans could visit the country for a few hours and then go back to all their fancy surroundings that night.

Me, if I go I want authentic Cuba!
