Carnival Cruise Line recently sailed their very first cruise ship to Cuba when Carnival Paradise visited Havana on a round trip cruise from Tampa, Florida.
Carnival is sailing a total of 12 cruises to Cuba and in addition to the opportunity to experience and explore this fascinating and previously off-limits destination, guests sailing aboard these four- and five-day voyages are enjoying a wide variety of Cuban-themed activities and entertainment, highlighted by Amor Cubano: A Caribbean Dance Romance, a dazzling high-energy show that showcases both classic and contemporary Latin hits.
Part of the Carnival Cruise Line’s popular Playlist Productions shows, Amor Cubano: A Caribbean Dance Romance features a sizzling four-piece Cuban band and a talented eight-member cast who have audiences singing and dancing in the aisles as they perform songs by top Latin artists, including Gloria Estefan, Celia Cruz and Pitbull, amid a tropics-inspired backdrop of Cuba and Miami.
The show leads into the Havana Nights Deck Party, a Cuban-themed soiree where Amor Cubano cast members are joined by a DJ to keep guests dancing on Lido Deck into the wee hours.
During Carnival Paradise’s cruises to Havana, guests can also participate in Cuban-themed games and hone their dance moves with salsa lessons led by the Playlist Productions team. There’s also a lecturer on board who discusses the country’s rich history and culture.
