Would Cuba be a popular cruise destination if we didn’t have an embargo against it ?

Would Cuba be a popular cruise destination if the embargo against it were lifted? Given its proximity to Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and other well-frequented cruise destinations, what factors might influence its appeal to cruise travelers?

Yes- for a while, Obama opened up travel to Cuba, and I know quite a few people who took cruises there- and many more who planned to. Then Trump shut it down again. Cuba was a wildly popular vacation spot back in the 30s and 40s- there are several movies that feature this, 

A few years ago, cruises did go to Cuba.  They just didn’t embark from the US.  I know a few people who went and really enjoyed it.  But Cuba doesn’t have the port infrastructure necessary to handle many ships.
