All language subtitles for Cruising with Jane McDonald Series 2 4of4 Cuba 720p_ENG_Subtitles01

Hi! I'm Jane McDonald!
Did someone mention cruise?

'I caught the cruising bug
more than 20 years ago when
I was working as a singer on a ship.'

See, when I were on the ships,
I had no window.

I used to have to put the television
on to see what type of day it was.

'It's not just us Brits
who are crazy about cruising.

Last year, 25.8 million holidaymakers
worldwide choose to cruise.'

There's a cruise for everyone.
There's quiet cruises,
there's party cruises,

there's island cruises,
there's river cruises.

'And I'm just gonna carry on cruising
till I've found you your perfect
cruise. Try stoppingme.'

There's a cocktail bar over there.

'This time, I've booked myself
on four very different ships

to give you an idea of just how
individual every cruise can be.'

All these adventures to have,
all with you.

'There's a romantic leisurely
river cruise through the stunning
French countryside from Lyon

and down the Rhone to Arles.
And I get to see it all from the air,
as well.'

It's breathtaking.
'Who could resist seven days of
city-hopping, sun and fun in the Med

on the world's most cutting-edge
cruise ship? Not me.'

It's not a bad life, this, is it?
SHE LAUGHS

'And a cool Scandi tour
around the Baltic.'

Welcome to my yacht.

I like big ships, small ships,
thin ships, fat ships,

friendships, relationships.
I like all ships!

'Coming up...'
You'll never guess where I am!

'..I'm off round Cuba
for some sun and fun.'

This is just perfect.

'Cruising in a convertible Cadillac.'

Keep your eyes on the road, love.
THEY LAUGH

'Things get hot and sweaty
at a dance class.'

Open, release.
Are you married? Open...

THEY LAUGH

'And luxury dining Caribbean style.'

You thought it was
Cruising With Jane McDonald.

Now it's Dining With Jane McDonald.

CUBAN MUSIC

Look at this!
This is happening in the street.

Havana, baby!

It's fabulous! It's sexy!
It's vibrant!

It's hot! And I love it.

Whoo!

'No other city
beats to a rhythm like Havana.

Tourism is only just starting
to take off,

so get here quick
while it's still got its sass.'
There's music everywhere!

'I haven't been here for 24 hours
and I'm already smitten.'

It's got a hint of Spain
and the heat of the Caribbean,

but it's got a feel all of its own
has Cuba. Nowhere is like this.

Look at these pink cars!

We've got to go in one of them!

What you talking about?
About everything. About sport.

Sport? Nice. Good.
Where are you from?

Yorkshire in England. Oh, right.
Hi to England, British people!

Bye, everyone! Bye!

The buildings are crazy here.

Half of Cuba looks like...

it needs finishing.
SHE LAUGHS

What does the other half look like?
It's finished.

SHE LAUGHS

So, some of it
is absolutely all finished

and looks magnificent
and it's fabulous.

And then next door, you think,
"They've run out of money."

'Cuba couldn't be more different
from our disposable society.

Here they keep and fix everything.
Well, they have to!

Since the revolution in 1959,
it's been pretty much isolated

from the rest of the world.

Nowadays it's all change
and tourists are welcome everywhere.

And where there's tourists,
there's souvenirs.

And they even take credit cards now!'

When you're in a different country,

you just see loads of things that you
think, "I'm gonna have to buy that."

And when you get them home,
they end up in your loft.

But it doesn't matter
cos it's part of the experience

and you've got to buy
a little bit of the economy.
Come on, let's be honest.

I need a hat. Don't forget,
I know I've said this before,

when you go on your holidays, don't
bother with a hat, because they never
look right when you've packed them.

Just buy another one when you get
there. They're not that expensive.

Alright. Watch this,
it'll cost a fortune now.
SHE LAUGHS

CUBAN MUSIC

What do you think?

I like this one. Perfect.

And I like the man and the woman.

Yeah, I'll have both. Two. Thank you
very much. Have a good day. Bye. Bye!

I love a shop. I think
it's a bit of an illness with me.

But look. I've got a little thing
here and, er...
MAN SINGS IN SPANISH

Ey up. Oh!
HE SINGS IN SPANISH

Hello!
HE SINGS IN SPANISH

Yeah.
HE SINGS IN SPANISH

What you doing there?
HE SINGS IN SPANISH

Is this a love song?

Sing it back to me.
THEY SING IN SPANISH

THEY SING IN SPANISH

I haven't had as much to drink
as you.
SHE LAUGHS

THEY SING IN SPANISH

HE LAUGHS

Whey! Perfect!
Thank you for that love song!

Ooh, ey. Thank you very much.

'Everywhere I look,
I see life, passion and colour.

I've never fallen in love
with a city before,

but Havana, I'm hooked.

I've been here a day and I know
I haven't even touched the sides.
But I'll be back in a week.

And right now, there's a ship
arriving and I need to get on board.'

Hola! Senora? Cruise ship.

Cruise ship? Le barco.

Shhhh, shhhh.

Boat. Hoooo! Hoooo!

HE SPEAKS SPANISH
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

You like Havana? Oh, yes!

Fabulous place! Fabulous! You?

We'd be rubbish in a relationship,
me and him, wouldn't we?

Epic everywhere you look.

It's just so different
to anything else.

And that's what I'm loving.

Thank you. Gracias.

Gracias. Gracias. Gracias.

'Ships are like books.
Never judge them by the cover.'

Look at this! This is my new home!

'The Crystal is an older vessel
and I don't think
she'll mind me saying that.'

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

'She started life as a ferry
in the Mediterranean

and now she's living the dream
here in the Caribbean.'

Oh, it's like a yacht! I feel like
the Queen on the Britannia.

Red carpet, look at that.

Hello. Ooh.

That's it, I can cruise now? Yes.
Thank you! At last, you are inside.

I'm inside the ship with air-con!

'All ships have their own character
and atmosphere

and already I know I'm gonna love
the small-ship feel.

This is old-school cruising.'

And I'm looking for 7204.

So I'm here. So I'm that way.

Is that right?

I think it's that one. I found it.
God, that were easy, wasn't it?

Usually I'm walking for miles!

Ah! Well, this is nice, isn't it?

I've got a balcony. Look at this.

I like this.

That's where I'm gonna get my tan,
have a cup of tea on a morning.

Good.

Dressing gown. Lovely.

Safe. Extra pillows.

Ooh, this is good, isn't it?

What's that? Shampoo. Body cleanser.

Everything you could possibly want.
Everything you need on a cruise
is here.

Hooks, ladies and gentlemen.
Me and the hooks.

'We're sailing right round Cuba,

starting in Havana,
then south to Cienfuegos.

Then a quick day trip
down to Montego Bay in Jamaica,

then back to Santiago de Cuba
in the south.

And then home to Havana.

But before we set sail,
there's one more thing I have to do.'

Hello! You alright?
Yeah. Where you off to?

I'm going to, erm,
Havana's Club Tropicana.

You see, the thing is, at home,
we don't do anything.

Cos, you know, people think
I've got this really glamorous life,

and unless I'm working,
I don't go out at all.

So for me, this is hugely exciting!
I'm going out!

I think that you need an umbrella
cos it's raining very hard outside.

Is it strong? Yes. Really strong
rain. Enjoy your night. Monsoon?

Thank you. I will enjoy. Thank you.
You're welcome.
And thank you for the brolly.

THUNDER BOOMS
Oh, my goodness!

I need this like a hole in t'head,
don't I? Right, this is...

This is quite bad weather, isn't it?
Hang on a minute. Just one minute.

THUNDER BOOMS

I came prepared.
Now let's go clubbing.

THUNDER BOOMS
Agh!

'The rain here is not like
the rain in Wakefield.'

THUNDER BOOMS
'It's like a warm shower!'

Ta-da!

Look at the state of me now!

I look a bit like a Smurf
cos of all the blue lights.

But me toenails...
SHE LAUGHS

They're amazing! Look at that!

SHE LAUGHS

'This is THE Club Tropicana that
George Michael wrote his song about.'

Club Tropicana...
drinks are not free.

'Beyonce came here last year
and joined in with the dancers.

I think I'll stay in me seat.'

Oh, look!
CUBAN MUSIC

Look at all these people!

There's a lot of flesh,
but it's very sexy flesh.

And they do a lot
of this chest thing going off.

What do they call it? Isolation?
There's a lot of isolation going on.

I can't do it, but...
SHE LAUGHS
But they can really well.

Has the rhythm taken you, Jane?
Oh, it is.

Mind you, it could be something
to do with the Havana rum.

Whoo!
APPLAUSE

THUNDER RUMBLES

'Coming up, we cruise the Caribbean
and I get some new skills.

Postcard making.'

Is it this way? Yeah.
Yeah. Like that? Oh, thank you!

'And salsa dancing. Oh, yes.'

Oh. Whoo!

SHE LAUGHS
Ooh, I quite like that bit.

CUBAN MUSIC

'My round-Cuba cruise has begun
and today we're in the Caribbean,

heading to Cienfuegos.
Now, I wonder what's for lunch.'

Ooh! Ooh, it's barbecue.

I love a bit of a barbie.

'I missed breakfast because of
me late night and I'm starving.'

Hello! Would you like to have
some fresh meat?

Er, yeah. You can't beat having
a bit of fresh meat, love, can you?

You want a small piece or big one?
If the cameras weren't rolling,
I'd take the biggest.

SHE LAUGHS

This is what happens
on a cruise ship. You start the line
and you like everything on it.

And that's why usually people
on cruise ships have a plate...
like that.

It's just basically greedy.

Ooh, hello.

Gosh, look at the melons there.
That's an art form, isn't it?

It's not every day you see a melon
with a face on it, is it?

Oh, that is really good.

'It's the end of the season here,
so the ship isn't full.

Sometimes that doesn't work,
but here it does.

Everything is just... well,
it feels so relaxed and chilled.'

Ooh, hello! How are you?
What are you doing?

I'm doing a selfie-stick tour.

Oh.
So you've just starred in it, love.
SHE LAUGHS

Hello. Hello. How are you?

I'm really well. How are you?
Fine, thank you. Super.

Hello. Hello!
Are you alright? Yes, thank you.

Good. It's lovely to meet you.
Oh, hello! That's an English accent.

Yes! Oh, hello! What's your name?
Everyone calls me Minnie.

Oh, Minnie, nice to meet you!
Where you from? Birmingham.

Are you alright?
Yes, thank you. How lovely!

How long have you been on here?
Three months.

Three and a half, actually.
Are you enjoying it? Yeah.

It's great, isn't it? I found it hard
at first to settle in,

but now that I've settled in,
made friends, I love it out here.

Oh, that's good.
It does take a while, doesn't it?

You know, I was just exactly the same
as you when I first got on a ship.

Give us a hug. Lovely to meet you.

And you, too! No doubt
I'll see you a bit later on. Bye!

Aww, she's adorable.

And I know exactly how she feels.

Cos, you know,
when you're away from home,

you miss the normal things,
you know, like your mum and your dad.

And everybody thinks
you're having this glamorous life,
which in their eyes, you are,

but there's another side to it
when you work on a ship

and it's that you miss your family.

'Maybe it's having all these families
on board that's giving this cruise
such a great vibe.

And even though it's only day one,
I already feel completely at home.

I've never been on a cruise
that didn't do towel folding.

So today there's a master class!
Hey, why not?'

What's the name? Lucky. Lucky!

That's a British penguin!
APPLAUSE

You can make your own postcards.
I thought I'd make one for me mum.

Cos I miss me mum when I'm away.

Can I join you? Yeah.
Are you sure? Thank you.

What's your name? Yug. Yug?

Yug? Yep. I like that.

Have you done that? Yeah. How do
I do that, then? How do I pleat it?

I think I've got it now.
Aw, thank you!

This is good, isn't it? Look at that!

I tried. It's really lovely.

I'm having a great time!
And I've got a good friend here
who's teaching me everything.

How's that? Good.
Is it? Are you sure?

Are you just being nice? You're just
being nice to me, aren't you?

He's a gentleman.
But he's also honest.

THEY LAUGH

'The crew on any ship
is so important.

They can make or break a cruise,
and here on the Crystal,
they really are like a family.

Everyone is so friendly
and can't do enough to help.

And you don't always find that
these days.

Tonight's a big night on board

and I need
a bit of a buff and polish, too.'

Alright, Jane? What are you up to?

I'm milking a cow.
What does it look like I'm doing?

Why do you have to follow me,
everything I do?

The viewers wanna see you, Jane.
No, they don't!

No, go on. Can I start?
Yeah, please do.

'It's the captain's cocktails,

when all the passengers
get to meet the man in charge.

It's always exciting.'

The captain's cocktail
is a huge night on a ship

cos it's when everybody's
in their finery,

er, there's always one dress
that you look fabulous in

that you've bought for the cruise

and tonight's the night you wear it.

It's very exciting, you know?

What's the captain like, Danielle?

The captain? Yeah.
Yeah, he is so good.

Is he nice? Really, so nice.

Aww. Is he handsome?

Handsome?

No?

OK.
SHE LAUGHS
Handsome?

Han... Good-looking?
Yeah, he good-looking.
Oh, he's good-looking. He is young.

Things are looking up! Is he married?

Yeah. Yeah.

Right. Exciting night.
Put my light out.

Right. I love this bit.

Hello!

There's the queue.

It's like waiting to see Santa.
It's very exciting.

Hello! How are you? I'm really well!

Allow me to introduce our captain.
Oh, hello!

Hello, captain. Jane comes
from England. Very nice to meet you.

Hello! Do you mind if I join you?
Can I join you? Yes!

Is that alright?
Aren't this band amazing?

We listen to them every night
and sometimes
we're the only ones in here.

Really? We stay until they finish.
I love them! They're fabulous!

CUBAN MUSIC

APPLAUSE

It's old-school fun. That theatre
is one of the best I've ever seen

cos it's like a proper cabaret venue.

Not only is the entertainment
absolutely brilliant,

but they've got a live band, which
you don't often see on ships now.

CUBAN MUSIC

Tonight I might go out
and find where the party is

because, actually, it's everywhere
on this ship. So cheers.

'We left Havana 24 hours ago

and are heading south to Cienfuegos,
known as the Pearl of the South.'

Morning. Are you coming in?

'I'm excited.
I have a salsa lesson today and
I think I've got the perfect skirt.

I got it from a charity shop
at home.'

Look.

Now, I'm sorry, but that's
proper good... Look at that!

It's got flounce on it, look.

You know what I mean?

Two of them, I think they were
about £12 for both of them.

So I'll probably get more wear
out of these on this cruise.

And then, you know,
if I don't do another Cuban cruise,
cos I've done one now,

I'll probably give them back
to the charity shop.

'Cienfuegos is a world heritage site
on account of its urban planning.

I can see why.
The streets are nice and wide

and there's not a problem
with parking.

Wakefield Council, are you listening?

I'm here to dance myself dizzy

and I've roped in some of my mates
from the crew for moral support.

Minnie from the shop and Sonny and
Vlad from the entertainment team.'

Can you dance Cuban salsa?
Course I can't!

I'm a lot older than I should be
and me hips aren't what they were.

But I'll have a go.
Have-a-go Jane, that's me.

So, there's dancing and singing and
everything going on. Yes. Ooh, look!

They practise every day at the same
time. Ooh, it's like Fame.

Yes. Fame. Pain is what you pay.

Look at the figures.
They're all about that big.

I'm not intimidated at all.

So, Jane, let me introduce you
to a friend of mine.

His name is Joyo.
Joyo. Thank you. Nice to meet you.
Aw, nice to meet you, too.

My English is very bad.
It's better than my Cuban.
HE LAUGHS

Very important is to move
from the core, OK? OK.

So...
HE SPEAKS SPANISH
OK.

Uno, dos, tres.

And cinco, seis, siete. OK?
HE SPEAKS SPANISH

One more time.
And one and two and three.

'Joyo lives in Germany and is one
of the world's best salsa teachers.'

Two and three. And five, six, seven.

'He's back here on holiday.
SHE LAUGHS
Some holiday!'

Uno. Ah! It's the hips.
HE SPEAKS SPANISH
One more time.

CUBAN MUSIC

SHE LAUGHS

SHE SQUEALS

Very nice! And forward!

Cinco, seis...

Nailed it. Nailed it. Come on!

HE SPEAKS SPANISH
And turn. Oh, oh, oh.

Whoo! Oh, yes!
SHE LAUGHS

Ooh, I quite like that bit.

One, two, one...

Feeling a bit fabulous
and a bit smug, actually.

Cos I'm into it, I'm going for it.

Just cos there's snow on the roof,
doesn't mean to say
the fire's gone out, you know?

SHE LAUGHS

OK! I'm back! Good.

HE SPEAKS SPANISH

These are Jimmy Choos.
SHE LAUGHS

HE SPEAKS SPANISH

OK.

This OK? Perfect.

CUBAN MUSIC

Uno...

HE SPEAKS SPANISH

OK. Open and release.

Open, release. Are you married?

HE LAUGHS
Yes. Are you sure?

THEY LAUGH

And uno and dos and tres

and cuatro. Uno and dos...

Yay! Gracias. Thank you.

You did great! So did you!

We did it, we did it.
HE SPEAKS SPANISH

CUBAN MUSIC

I understand now
why they're all so fit.

Cos they all do all this isolation,
don't they?

Ooh! It moved!
Did you see that? It moved!

It... Oh, look! It's moving!

Oh, I've got it now. I'm tribal.

Exit's that way, Jane. Oh.
SHE LAUGHS

'Coming up,
fine dining Jamaican style.'

Oh, we're in paradise.
I've got the best job in the world!

'And I learn how to party
like a Cuban.'

SHE LAUGHS

LOUD TRUMPET BLARES

'I'm halfway through
my round-Cuba cruise

and already I don't want it to end.

We left Cuba behind us
and headed south to Jamaica

and I've just woken up
in Montego Bay.

Apart from Florida, 103 miles away,

Jamaica is Cuba's closest
Caribbean neighbour.'

STEEL DRUMS PLAY

Oh, look at this!

Oh, this is a bit fab, isn't it?

This is the beach in Jamaica
and it's paradise.

SHE GASPS
Look at that sea.

Ohh. It's just really relaxed.

It's completely different to Cuba.

I mean, Cuba's like,
everywhere's dancing and,
you know, everybody's, "Whooo!"

You come here and it's like...
"Irie."

Everything's really relaxed.

Could be something to do with
what they're smoking.

STEEL DRUMS PLAY

Hi! Yeah!

How are you doing?
I'm really good. How are you?

Yeah, man. This is where we have
the nice stall here,
we got the nice souvenirs.

I'm actually hungry.
Do you know somewhere I can eat?

That thing over there
in the sea over there.

You eat there? Is there a cooker
on there or something?

It's a restaurant.
Ohh. I've gotta try that, then.

Is that good? No problem, no problem.

Fantastic. Thank you very much.
Oh, what do you do? Sorry.

It's shake hands, no problem. Yeah.

I like that. Let's do that,
and all, though. I like that.

Oh, you like that one?
Yeah, I like that, yeah.

Nice to meet you. All the best.
And you. Bye.

Oh, wow. Look at this.

How do you get out there? Hi!

How you doing? I'm Jane.

Aww, what's your name? Trace. Trace.

How do I get out there? Just walk.

I... How... I just... Do I?

Just walk.
You just walk on water. Right.

Ooh!

'I've done some mad things
for this series, but eating lunch
on a homemade Rasta raft

in the middle of the Caribbean
really takes the biscuit.'

So, how you finding Jamaica,
my lady? Oh, it's just so fabulous,
Jerome. I love it.

I'm called Jane.
You don't have to call me my lady.

That's so very nice of you, though.
SHE LAUGHS

OK, Jane, definitely.
The sun complements you very nicely.

Yes, this is the finest dining
you can get in Jamaica, you know?

Thought it was
Cruising With Jane McDonald?

Now it's Dining With Jane McDonald
Jamaican style.

I do feel like I'm in a dream

cos this is just
what dreams are made of,

sat here right now in the beautiful
breeze of this hot weather

and, er, and having fresh seafood
just prepared.

Rocky the fisherman
has been down here
and caught all this fantastic fish

and he's just cooking for me now.

It doesn't get any better than this,
really, does it?

I'm really quite hungry, as well,
so... I'm really gonna enjoy this.

Hope you're hungry
because we have a whole lot of food
and fruits for you.

Oh, smashing! Alright!

Respect Jamaican style. It's good.

'Jerome's Rasta raft isn't just
a gimmick for tourists like me,

it's his philosophy for life.'

Rastafari teach us to be humble,
you know what I mean?
And humility is the key.

So we use that to go through life.
And that the sky and the Earth
creates and gives us things

so you get to eat this natural food.

Cos if you have a whole lot of money
and in the fast world,

you're not gonna go to fishing
and grow plants and food.

You know what I mean?
You're amazing, you are.

Thank you, thank you.
And such a great cook, as well, man.

Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you so much. Thank you.

You're very good company, too.
SHE LAUGHS

She's eating up that food
like crazy. It's good. I know.

It's so good. Yeah. Really good.

I'm only here for a day,
which is a real shame,

cos look at it, it's beautiful.
Watch that step.

Hello! How are you? I'm really well.
How are you? I'm alright.

Have you got such a thing
as a postcard? Postcards.

Postcards are right here.
They're all of cricket, yeah?

Yes, all cricket, cos that's
all we like in Jamaica, cricket.

It's either that or that, really.
I've got a choice of two.
Not much choice.

It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
I think I'm gonna go for that one.

How you doing, sir? Shoes? How you
doing? Yeah, shoes. Come in!

Oh! Jane!
Oh, it's Jane from the cruise ship!

Hello! Oh, my God! How are you?

You're the lady that convinced us
we only needed nude knickers!

That's true!
THEY LAUGH
That is definitely me!

Yes! You were on Loose Women! Yeah!

Well, I'm sorry to interrupt.
You carry on.

Look at that. That's the only
postcard I can find for me mother.

Dear Mum.

Hope you like cricket.

It's the only postcard...

..they had.

Today I'm in Jamaica.

Lovely and warm.

The only thing

missing...

..is you.

Hello? Hello!
Hello! Good morning!

Can I send this to England, please?

Alright, so that's 100 Jamaican
dollars. 100 dollars?

Sounds an awful lot, doesn't it?
Sounds a lot.

100 dollars to send a postcard?

So I do this.

Bit of Bob Marley on me stamp.

Right, are you ready?

This is going to me mother.

It's gone.

'Next stop, Santiago de Cuba

in the far south of the island.'

STEEL DRUMS PLAY

We have docked this morning
in Santiago de Cuba.

Look at that.

Look at the beautiful day there.

All this...
All these things to explore,

all these adventures to have.

All with you.

So I think I'd like to go off today.

Ooh.
Summat's just dropped on me head.

Oh, are you painting?
Hello! Hello! Morning.

Are you painting?
No, we put the grease.

Oh, you're putting grease. Great.

Just got grease in me hair. Ooh!

SHE LAUGHS

Maybe not... I've just got drenched.

'Santiago de Cuba
is the home of Bacardi rum

and the city where Fidel Castro
began the revolution.'

It's like Wacky Races
everywhere you look. It's so busy.

Get off the road.

See what I mean? Look. I mean,
it's just everywhere you look.

It's just so busy and so loud!

HORNS BLARE
It's like...

It's like Lala Land in Cuba.
It's mad.

CUBAN MUSIC PLAYS
See, there's probably
a party going on in here.

Hello! Hello. How are you?
Is there a party going on?

Yeah, it is a party.
Can I go in there?

Yes! Yes! Are you sure? Yes, sure.

Right. Wait, wait, wait.

Oh, my God, I'm getting stamped! Yes.

Oh, it really is like
an old-fashioned Yorkshire disco.

Thank you! Yes. Thank you!

Come on in here!

CUBAN MUSIC

This is ace! This is ace!

CUBAN MUSIC

SHE LAUGHS

Oh, my God, look at this!

Wow!

I've just walked into a musical!
It's bizarre!

HE PLAYS TRUMPET
A band in somebody's house.

BAND PLAY CUBAN MUSIC
There's people dancing.

It's 20 past 12,
everybody's drinking rum!

Not everybody. Nope.

I need to drink some rum!

I need a drink.

Cheers, everyone!

I think we're gonna have to do it
all in sign language

cos it's seriously loud in here!

CUBAN MUSIC

'Santiago de Cuba
is the musical capital of the island
and the birthplace of salsa.

It's closer to Haiti than Havana.'

CUBAN MUSIC

'If Havana is hot, Santiago sizzles.'

HE PLAYS TRUMPET

No-one knows how to party
like the Cubans.

HE PLAYS TRUMPET

It is amazing!

'Coming up, back in Havana.'

Is this for me? Yes, this is
just for you! Oh, look at this!

'And I finally get to ride
in a pink Cadillac!'

All I need now is a cigar.
Oh, my God. And a glass of rum.

You tell me
and we can go to the place.

'We're back in Havana.

It's our last day
and I'd do it all again if I could.

This place has got
right under my skin.'

Ooh. Ooh, oh, hello!
SHE LAUGHS

'It takes a lot to get me up early,
but I wanted to see
as much of Havana as I could,

so I've skipped breakfast
and come for a wander.'

This is amazing. I love it.
Just the vibrance of it all. It's
great. There's all sorts happening.

LOUD TROMBONE BLARES
Hang on, what's that?

Now, that's a hairstyle.
I love that. What's this?

Screwdriver. Juice of an orange.

Sugar cane? Everything's
so laidback here, it's like,

"You've gotta queue? Who cares?"

That's what sugar looks like.
I just thought it came in packets.

That's terrible, isn't it?

I've got pure sugar here.

I don't really do sugar.

Ooh! Ooh, I can't have that.

Here y'are, love, you have that.

That'll keep you going, energy. Bye.

'Cuba's like the sleeping beauty.

It's been hidden away from most of us
for over 50 years

and it's only just catching up
with the modern world.

Everywhere I look, there are
reminders of its revolutionary past

and I just hope its future
does that past justice.'

Oh! It's hot!

I mean, it's not just
turn your central heating up hot...

..it's searing hot!
Look over here. Look. Look at these!
SHE LAUGHS

Hello! Hello! How are you?

Oh! Are you hot?

Yeah? Taxi. Taxi? Yeah.

I like your car. That's a good idea,

to just have a nap, yeah, shade.

Is this your car? Yeah, my car.

Do you look after it like woman,
you know? It's my boyfriend.

Oh. It's your boyfriend.
Oh. Say no more.

OK, thank you very much. Bye!

This actual cruise
book you in these trips,

they book you
on one of these amazing cars.

So I've booked myself in!
Come on, let's go and have a ride!

Oh, wow! Look at this! Is this
for me? Yes, this is just for you!

Wow! Oh, look at this!
I'm going round Cuba in this!

Oh, that's like...
Hello. Are you the driver?
Yeah, I'm the driver. Oh, hello!

My name is Alexis. Nice to meet you.
Alex.

Alex. Yeah, you can call me Alex.
Are you married?

Er, not yet. Not yet. Whoo!

Whoo-hoo! OK. I feel like
a film star! It's great, isn't it?

I'm so happy! And you're lovely!
Thank you very much.

It's so colourful
and the people are so alive

and it's great, isn't it?
This is Cuba.

We love music. Yeah!
We laugh all the time.

I need to live here! Yes.
THEY LAUGH

So, where do these get imported from?
How do the cars get here?

Mainly through America. Yeah.
They came from America before '59.

Wow. They've all been here since '59?
Yes. The revolution in '59. Yeah.

Most of the rich families,
they abandoned the island.

Yeah. But, of course,
they had to leave the cars here.

And there's a lot! We don't know
the number exactly, but many.

Many. All over Cuba. Mainly Havana,
but all over Cuba. Wow.

These cars, a few years ago,
nobody wants it. No.

Maybe you can buy it
for 2,000, 3,000.

Right now, 15,000. Wow. 30,000. Wow.

This part of the old Havana
is called Centro Habana.

Centro Habana. Yes.

The colours are so vibrant,
aren't they? Yeah.

It's a Caribbean island,
we love yellow, orange...
Coral, pinks, everything.

All I need now is a cigar.
Oh, my God. And a glass of rum.

You tell me
and we can go to the place.

Ohh. Thank you! Gracias.

Cheers. Salut. Salut.

Whoa!

That's like boom in my mouth!

That is so good! I'm jealous.

THEY LAUGH
Poor boy. He cannot drink.

ALL: It's hot, it's sticky,
it's fantastic,

it's Havana, baby!

THEY CHEER

This reminds me of my very first ship
I did years ago.

It's typical old-fashioned cruising

and I've loved every minute
of the charm of it,

with the amazing staff,

the family-like atmosphere,

the fun,

and this takes me back
to the love affair

that I have with cruising.

I feel like I've been in a musical
all week.

Everywhere you went, there was
a beat, there was a beat of music,

and it was like
the heartbeat of Cuba.

Cuba is passionate,

erotic, sexy...

..addictive.

And you know what? I wanna come back.
