On Wednesday, the crew of Brilliance of the Seas, operated by Royal Caribbean and chartered by VACAYA, a vacation company for the LGBTIQ+ community, spotted a distressed vessel near the Yucatán Peninsula. Acting swiftly, the crew launched a pilot boat to rescue the Cuban immigrants in small groups and brought them on board. The migrants, who were exhausted and showing signs of malnutrition, had been stranded at sea for at least one or two days. At the moment of rescue, their fragile boat was damaged and taking on water.

A Group of 20 Cuban Balseros, Including Several Children, Await Deportation in the Bahamas – Translating Cuba
The migrants join 37 others who were rescued last January by the U.S. Coast Guard.
Unfortunately the death toll of Cuban balseros keep growing. The ones caught attempting to reach the U.S,, are deported back to Cuba. They are between a rock and a hard place. The deportation process in Bahamas of this group of Cuban balseros takes about six months, at least they can enjoy that time in freedom before been returned to the island of Dr. Castro.
Cuban rafters attempting to reach the U.S., as a consequence of the economic and social crisis facing the island, has decreased significantly, influenced by the crisis in Cuba and Trump’s policies. The sea route to the U.S. have become increasingly inaccessible.by Manuel Lopez July 1, 2025
The U.S. Coast Guard reported Thursday that its vessel Robert Yered detained six Cuban citizens as they attempted to cross into the U.S. by sea, in an operation carried out in Bahamian waters. Following the interdiction, the migrants were handed over to Bahamian authorities for processing, in accordance with international conventions and current immigration regulations.
These actions are part of a broader strategy deployed in the Florida Straits and the Caribbean to deter irregular travel in rickety vessels. The U.S. Coast Guard continues to intensify its operations in the Caribbean and the Florida Straits to curb irregular migration from Cuba, following two recent interdictions of Cuban rafter groups in Bahamian waters.
Images shared by the Coast Guard show the rafters aboard the U.S. patrol boat, receiving water and basic care before their transfer. According to authorities, these types of precarious vessels pose a high risk to human life due to their instability and lack of safety equipment.
Due to the economic and social crisis created by the Castroist communist regime, there are still people who leave the island on home maid rafts, risking a dangerous journey to reach the U.S. The rafters flow from Cuba, in the fiscal year 2025, shows a significant reduction.
What does "greeted by the mainstream media" mean? And the Castro brothers are dead.
