Cuba revised down its tourism arrivals forecast for 2019 due to the US cruise ship ban.
Tourism minister Manuel Marrero lowered the target by 15% to 4.3 million, down from an initial 5.1 million tourists.
Last year cruise tourism accounted for nearly 900,000 arrivals with about 40% from the US.
Before the ban was announced in early June tourism leaders were looking forward to a bumper year for cruise ship calls.
In the first four months it welcomed 250,000 passengers, which was double the previous year.
Under the latest restrictions, the Treasury department announced a ban on group educational travel, cruise ship calls and private yachts by Americans.
Still, Cuba has been wooing China as an alternative source of tourism revenue with some success and the ministry signed a MoU with Turkish Airlines to boost visitor arrivals.
