Jack805 Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 Just got off of a sailing in Los Angeles, and in the 2 months since my last trip CBP has added the facial recognition tablets to the Customs clearance process. Wanted to share with the entire community since it dramatically improved clearance times after debarkation. Seemed to have a few hiccups still being new to LA, but it was great to be off the ship and in my car in less than 10 minutes this time. (Also, @Matt could you update the RC Cruise Terminal directions and parking post to show LA parking at $20/day?) 14Terry, WAAAYTOOO and KJones 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 LA has been the worst port customs I've ever seen. Hopefully this speeds things up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was through there in March and it was a breeze since they had facial recognition there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 I was all excited about how efficient facial recognition was until we disembarked in Boston last Sunday. The CBP agent was by the gangway and we just flashed our passports as we walked by….that was all. I’ve never experienced anything like that.

Hopefully this speeds things up The experience was night and day for me between the two recent sailings. I'm sure the efficiency of this at customs will only be increased in coming weeks as it seemed like a VERY recent addition with the setup and the queueing still to go through the facial recognition lanes. But most I talked to after had a longer wait to get scanned off the ship than the walk and going through customs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
