You might get that back when the Trump gets toppled. In the meantime, the rest of us can enjoy our Cuban holidays.

Didn't sound like we were missing much...
The embarrassing lack of demand would tend to agree

There was plenty of demand last month when I was there. Americans everywhere in Havana. Thought I was in downtown Tampa. You must have been there on a slow day?

While far from scientific, reports like these seemed to be bountiful

How can they enforce this? Will Trump send son Eric to Cuba to knock on hotel room doors and see if any Americans are staying there?

Fox News will be there to stir up the hysteria.
But seriously, I'd also wonder how enforcement would really work. Seems like the Cubans would turn the other way to receive tourism revenue.

Maybe they would block it if they tried to book them using a US credit card? I understand nothing is perfect and people could get around it by just using cash (preferred method there anyway) but that's really the only way I could imagine the US government has at their disposal to block them. Similar to how the US tried to inhibit US travel to Cuba before by not allow airline bookings on US websites using US credit cards. Flying via Mexico or Canada and paying cash was the easy way around that.

Well. You can precisely do that. Passport and visa. The Visa bought just before getting on plane. Simple.
