Three things:
1) Well, we know the City of New Orleans used to be called the Panama Limited, and cruise lines do call at New Orleans...
2) Sounds like a good tie-in for Amtrak to finally shoehorn its way onto the FEC, and for the State of Florida to support it. "We need to plan for the throngs of tourists and visitors coming from Havana! *wink, wink*"
3) Along with 2, Amtrak should consider a Thruway to Key West if any of the Havana ferry lines run there. Just because a flight would be considerably quicker doesn't mean a flight would be nearly as cheap as ferry + bus + train.
