Operational properties of cubic sets are first investigated. The notion of cubic subsemigroups and cubic left (resp. right) ideals are introduced, and several properties are investigated. Relations between cubic subsemigroups and cubic left (resp. right) ideals are discussed. Characterizations of cubic left (resp. right) ideals are considered, and how the images or inverse images of cubic subsemigroups and cubic left (resp. right) ideals become cubic subsemigroups and cubic left (resp. right) ideals, respectively, are studied.
