whitsmom Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 I used my Mobile Passport app for the first time on Saturday when we arrived into Atlanta from Punta Cana. The line was crazy long and we got into the Mobile Passport line and in less than 10 minutes we were done! We would have been at least an hour in the regular line and probably would have missed our connecting flight.

SpeedNoodles Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Was this at the airport or at the cruise terminal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disembarked Mariner on Friday and had my passport in hand, but nobody ever asked for it or looked at it - I was stopped by someone who scanned my face, it must have matched up with something they had on file, and I was on my way - nobody ever looked at my ID of any kind, spoke to me, or looked in my bag. I flew in from Punta Cana, Dominican Republic to Atlanta airport and had to go thru customs before continuing to my connecting flight. I think the only port in Florida that uses the Mobile Passport in Port Everglades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody even spoke to me - they scanned my face at the exit, and off I went, without my ID, anything else about me or with me being checked. It was faster than getting out of the airport on a domestic flight, lol. whitsmom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one looked at our passport, bags and we didn't have to declare anything. The only thing I had bought was some cigars, but I didn't exceed the limit so I knew I was OK. @SpeedNoodles , how did the house/dog sitter go?

This trip was solo, so my husband was home taking care of the pack. We'll be using the sitter in June for our Alaskan cruise on Ovation - and we're hoping it goes so well and that she likes it (and the compensation) that she'll agree to do it again for our Symphony cruise in 2020! tiny260 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of thought that was the case after I had already hit submit. But wanted to know anyway. Not to hijack this thread, so this is just an FYI, we are having the same problem, or I should say people are having a problem gaining my wife's trust. We had a young lady that was sitting for us but then she went off to college a couple of years ago. SpeedNoodles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firemanswife2 Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Can you use Mobile Passport at Port Canaveral? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is correct, but it has been since 2012 that I cruised out of Port Canaveral. Going out of there on Harmony in October though.

twangster Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 6 minutes ago, Firemanswife2 said: Can you use Mobile Passport at Port Canaveral? Not as of December. I asked, then stood in line like everyone else. To be honest it works in airports because a large number of fliers tend to be non-US citizens so having a lane for Mobile Passport or Global Entry works because of the number of eligible people who would qualify for that line. At a cruise port, the vast majority of guests are eligible to use Mobile Passport so it doesn't work as well in my experience at a cruise port like it does at an airport.
