Many watching the fes- tive arrival praised a Cu- ban government decision to drop a longstanding ban on Cuban-born people return- ing to their homeland by sea, a step that allowed 16 Cuban-Americans to make the journey from Miami. "This is history," said Mercedes Lopez, a 54-year- old nurse who waited for hours to see Carnival Cruise Line's 704-passenger Adonia pull up to Havana's two-berth cruise terminal. "We Cubans must unite, all of us. This is a step forward, a little step toward normal- ization, peace, family unifi- cation." The passengers of the Adonia were welcomed by live music and dancing in- side Havana's single state- run cruise terminal. Out- side, police carved a sin- gle lane into the crowd of hundreds of Cubans wait- ing in Old Havana's Plaza San Francisco for passen- gers taking walking tours of the restored colonial center. The group included dozens of plainclothes se- curity agents and hawk- ers promoting restaurants and souvenir shops, as well as many trying to witness history. Cruise ships stopped crossing the Florida Straits from the U.S. after a brief window in the late 1970s when President Jimmy Carter allowed virtually all U.S. travel to Cuba. U.S. cruises to Cuba once again become possible after Pres- idents Barack Obama and Raul Castro declared de- tente on Dec. 17, 2014. Both sides hope it is the first step toward a future in which thousands of ships a year could cross the Florida Straits, long closed to most U.S.-Cuba traffic due to ten- sions that once brought the world to the brink of nu- clear war. "I feel hopeful for the people of Cuba and for Cuba, hopeful that Cuba can realize its full poten- tial," said North Miami Beach City Manager Ana Garcia, who left the island nation in 1968 when she was 6. Setting sail from Miami shortly before 5 p.m. Sun- day, the Adonia took nearly 17 hours to cross the Florida Straits, steaming through a waterway blockaded by the U.S. during the Cuban Mis- sile Crisis. Tens of thou- sands of Cubans have fled to Florida on homemade rafts in recent decades, with un- told thousands dying in the process. The number of Cubans trying to cross the straits is at its highest point in eight years, and cruises and mer- chant ships regularly rescue rafters from the straits. U.S. cruises are expected to bring Cuba tens of mil- lions of dollars in badly needed foreign hard cur- rency if traffic increases as expected. More than a dozen lines have an- nounced plans to run U.S.- Cuba cruises, and if all ac- tually begin operations, Cuba could earn more than $80 million a year, the U.S.- Cuba Trade and Economic Council said in a report Monday. The Adonia will take eight days to circumnav- igate Cuba and return to Miami. Part of the Fathom brand, the Adonia is one of Carnival's smaller ships, roughly half the size of some larger European ves- sels that already dock in Havana. Environmental scientists fear that if they're joined by dozens more ships, there will be serious damage to an island that boasts the Caribbean's healthiest ma- rine life in large part due to decades without large-scale development.
