若旅客从以上三个建议机场抵达，游轮公司将收取60美元/人/单程的接送机服务费。
旅客必须选乘登船日当天中午12:00PM之前抵达的航班。

如果旅客想要从哈瓦那抵达/离开，则游轮公司将收取120美元/人/单程的接送机服务费。哈瓦那 - 游轮所在码头城市(Jucaro)大约有6小时的车程，旅客必须提前至少1天抵达哈瓦那。因为登船日当天，接机公司的工作人员会在清晨06:00 - 08:00AM前往酒店接人，并且从哈瓦那的接送不适用于除正规酒店外的一切地址，如民宿，当地人开的Casa等。

古巴签证 & 注意事项 :
古巴没有严格意义上的签证，而且中国与古巴历来是老铁，实行互相免签。不过即使这样，旅客还是必须要在第三国办理值机手续时向航空公司购买一张所谓的古巴旅游卡(Arjeta Del Turista)，有效期30天，入境古巴后，可以再办理延期30天，价格为25CUC (约25美元)。旅游卡需要和所有重要物件一样妥善保管，在古巴离境时，海关会收走该卡。

若在美国转机，选择去古巴的理由，请选择："humanitarian and environmental projects" general license.

货币：古巴流通两种货币：CUC(古巴红币 - 外国人专用)和CUP(古巴土币 - 古巴人专用)。旅客必须要入境古巴后在机场或者当地的银行用美元、欧元、加拿大元、英镑兑换CUC。用美元换汇有时还要加收10%的罚金，也就是所谓的“仇恨税”，所以一般建议在行前换一些欧元或者加拿大元。
