I've been to Jamaica 18 times in 2 years and still haven't been able to bring myself to do the day trip to Cuba. Air Jamaica goes there thru Montego Bay and Kingston.
They DO NOT stamp a US Passport. And, they welcome you with open arms. However, you just have to weigh the risks and benefits.....
I, personally, think it is going to be best to wait.......

The original question asked about how to get to Cuba from Cayman for a day trip.
Getting there is easy enough. Cayman Airways has twice weekly scheduled flights to/from Havana. Check their website for schedule. HOWEVER, the last I recall it was not conducive to making a day trip. Seem to recall it was an evening flight on Fridays and (not sure here) Mondays and sold as a weekend getaway to locals here in Cayman.

They don't stamp your passport, only the tourist visa. Canadian dollars aren't worth much, everyone I know goes down with US$.
I liked it both time I went down(I'm Canadian). But then again, if there's warm weather, a beach, good rum and clear water, I'm bound to like it/

Just got back.. the Canadian Dollar is not too bad ... they also take Euros.. US Dollars can be used but there is a surcharge or 10% to try and crack down on the underground economy. The Best rates available were for US Dollar travelers cheques from someone other than American Express.
Water is warm and clear, dives are cheap, people are generally nice.. and they make a good beer. Saddly there was an lot of dead coral this year .. much more than in the past, but I understand that that is happening all over the area.
Don't count on things changing too fast when Fidel goes .. his brother is the heir apparent and he seems to have quite a bit of support. On the US side there are a lot of people supporting sanctions for reasons that have nothing to do with Fidel or even Comunism..
