Although I have never ever had to use my GE card, I always bring it. bobroo, EmptyNestTravels and MarkFamMan 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPS Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Returning to Port Everglades had something I had never experienced before. You just step forward one at a time to tablet screen to line up your face in a box on the screen, it verifies you with facial recognition. A CBP agent standing near it says, "Ok. Thank you" and that's it. DONE! MarkFamMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it at security checkpoints quite frequently, instead of my drivers license or passport. WAAAYTOOO and KristiZ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twangster Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 CLEAR isn't at any cruise ports that I am aware of. GE isn't really required or used for cruising. With the exception of Tampa many US cruise ports use facial recognition for passport holders. Way better than GE. In Tampa you give a CBP agent your passport, they may or may not ask a question and away you go. There are no GE lanes in Tampa so it doesn't do you any good there.

whitsmom Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 When we returned to Atlanta from Cancun in February, we used our Global Entry for the first time. We just went up to the kiosk, touched it and looked at the camera an we got a small piece of paper and we were good to go. So easy and simple.

Traveling Mike Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 I just came thought Port Everglades last month and clearing customs was fast. We smiled at the camera, and they said goodby. Where the GE Card came in handy was at the airport. When I was going through the TSA Precheck security, they started to pull me out for extra security check until I handed him my GE Card; then he just told me to have a good day and grabbed the people behind me that just had Precheck.

Wow ! That’s pretty slick. I don’t think it would ever occur to me to do that. With my luck they would have taken me inside for a cavity search !

Pattycruise Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 I'm wondering if those people on NCL whose sailing was just cancelled at an island due to running aground can use that GE card at the airport. Seems to me you just never know anymore where you might wind up! As for the facial recognition they have it at Bayonne, NJ Port Liberty.....love love love it!
