British cruise ship Thomson Dream to dock in Cuba

[dipsydoodle]

A British-owned cruise ship is due to sail into the Cuban capital, Havana, on Wednesday, the first in years to dock in the Communist-run island.

The arrival of the Thomson Dream in Cuba is seen as a sign that European cruise companies are starting to return to the island.

Visits from European cruise ships dwindled after the then-president Fidel Castro criticised the business for leaving "rubbish, but little income".

The ship can carry 1,500 passengers. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-12116832




leaving "rubbish, but little income" - that's the English for you :(
