Miami: Passengers set sail from Miami on a historic cruise to Cuba, the first in decades. Carnival Corp’s 704-passenger Adonia will visit the ports of Havana, Cienfuegos and Santiago de Cuba on the seven-day outing. The cruise comes after Cuba loosened its policy banning Cuban-born people from arriving to the country by sea, a rule that threatened to stop the cruises from happening. Restarting the cruises was an important element of a bid by President Barack Obama to increase tourism to Cuba after the December 17, 2014, decision to restore diplomatic relations. AP
