Carnival cruise to Havana triggers controversy with Cuban/Americans who allege discrimination
A federal lawsuit is claiming that Carnival Corporation is discriminating against Cuban-Americans who weren’t allowed to book tickets on a cruise to the Castro brothers dominated country.

The answer is no.

However if you are referring to the UK (which isn't my country dumbarse) you are obviously showing your Argentinean education. The UK does have a constitution. It just isn't codified into a single document.
Why do you bother posting? Honestly I don't think you have ever posted something factual correct, Hepatia.
Do you deliberately wish to make Argentineans look bad or is it inadvertent?
It isn't discrimination of you can't OFFER the service. You can't offer a cruise to a country when that country won't allow passengers entry.
Next thing you are going to tell me is that airlines are discriminating against people that don't have valid visas?
People in the USA are getting fed up with the whining victim mentality.

So, despite not having a constitution itself, the UK does have a constitution for Australia.
