Cuba-less cruise rates are slashed

In the wake of new Cuba regulations, prices for Caribbean and Bahamas cruises have dropped to as little as $38 to $50 a night.

New rules for travel to Cuba banned cruises there, and the lines were left with extra capacity. The lines are trying to recoup by slashing prices on itineraries throughout the Caribbean and Bahamas.
