I doubt it will be straightened out until the U.S. puts Brazil in the Visa Waiver Program. Countries that are in the program are very easy to travel to and those that are not are harder. China is another country where it is becoming harder and more expensive to obtain a "travel" visa for.

A South American cruise is one of the most beautiful cruises you can do. Brazil, Argentina and Chile are gorgeous and very friendly. I would say more so than most Caribbean islands.

Take care,
