56. Actually the cruise industry lobbies hard against lifting the sanctions on Cuba.
Why would one waste time on a schlep thru Miami to get to a stinkin' cruise ship (and risk the Norwalk virus) just to go to Cuba when a direct flight will get one to a tropical paradise climate in less time than it takes to fight the traffic from MIA to the ship terminals.
Most all of the other Caribbean island tourism boards and US based tourism industries lobby hard against lifting the US's Cuba travel sanctions - they know that Cuba would be of such interest for decades of US Caribbean vacation seekers that it would mean a downturn in their businesses.
