CUBA: For 1st Time Since 2006, A Cruise Ship Visits La Habana.

AP/ M.HERALD/ JENNY BARCHFIELD /

   After nearly 5 years, a cruise ship has stopped-in Cuba.

   Some1,500 tourists disembarked from the huge British cruise liner Thomson Dream in La Habana's harbor.
   Officials called it one the biggest ships to visit Cuba.
   In 2006, former President Fidel Castro complained that cruise ships only deposited trash on the isla and prohibited any more visits.
    But under Raul Castro, Cuba admits to a desperate need for the hard currencies that tourists provide.
