U.S. government has authorized commercial ferry service to Cuba

OK so Cuba does not meet your standard of human rights, then should we have lifted our sanctions?

Yes. It was a major flaw, and hypocrisy in our foreign policy.
 
Cool.

Just normalize relations already.

Cuba is a threat to the United States? Don't make me laugh.
 
Wow!

I was wondering if this day would come while I was still alive?

(and while I'm not the youngest, I'm not exactly ready for the grave either)
 
US approves ferry service to Cuba by four Florida companies - Sun Sentinel

For the first time in five decades, the U.S. is allowing ferry service between Florida and Cuba. At least four companies said they were notified Tuesday of approvals by the U.S. Treasury and Commerce departments, the first since Washington imposed a trade embargo on Cuba. Licensed were Havana Ferry Partners of Fort Lauderdale, Baja Ferries of Miami, United Caribbean Lines Florida of Greater Orlando and Airline Brokers Co. of Miami and Fort Lauderdale.

A Treasury spokeswoman confirmed approval of ferry licenses but would not say how many were approved. Cuba also must approve the operations. "I'm very excited, because this is a historical event in U.S.-Cuba relations," said Havana Ferry's managing partner, Leonard Moecklin Sr. The ferry companies plan to offer trips that would be less expensive than charter flights, while allowing more luggage free. Many Cuban-Americans haul down hefty supplies for family homes and new private businesses.

I hope they have armed guards on those ferries. They will have to try to keep Cubans off the boat for the return trip.
 
Yes. It was a major flaw, and hypocrisy in our foreign policy.

Then your OK supporting repressive regimes, keeping political prisoners and no human rights for it's people and the dictators claiming all the money. Got it.
 
Hell yea! Visiting just got a lot easier come September.

I'm very glad I got to see the place before the eventual avalanche of US tourism kills it. How long will it be before it is covered with McDonalds and Starbucks and all the old cars are gone ? :(

This is me in Guardalavaca back in 2012 in a '58' Chevy Bel Air

Does Cuba meet your standard of human rights? Just asking. BTW where does all that money go when you visit Cuba?

Stop whining, we're going to Cuba.
