Facial recognition door opening

[neverbeenhere]

Do we need this feature?

It’s used all over the world. It’s not new

I must have missed it on my last cruises.

Norwegian Cruise Line uses facial recognition to get off and on the ship (not using SeaPass cards). The NCL system is a little slow because it is also scanning and recording your temperature. So your face has to match and you can't have a temperature, else get grabbed by the medical team. Every time you leave or come back to the ship.

Oh good...slow and eliminating more jobs.  But must be cost effective.

Customs had a similar setup in Galveston. Fastest I’ve ever been out of that place.

Taking temperature is probably the most useless factor in if someone has covid. Especially after being out in the hot sun for hours.

Did you look at the picture?  It still takes security personnel to monitor it.  It just means they aren't scanning cards, but they're still there.

It's fantastic especially in my last few cruises.  When disembarked picked up my bags went and on to customs.  No passport or any other inquiries and simply walked out after using the face technology system.  On my last cruise on Oasis out of Bayonne it took me no more than 15 minutes from ship to street.

Some airports are using this the as well in lieu of the TSA agent checking your ID and boarding pass, also for boarding the plane at the gate

Oh, i've seen a lot of facial recognition technology(Yes, I've disembarked at Galveston) just not to open my stateroom door.
