Rare slavigne5577 Posted January 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2022 What is smile and go? How did I know if I want to participate? Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsglow Posted January 23, 2022 #2 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Yeah, it's your Immigration check. In many ports the computer simply recognizes you from their Passport records and you're on your way. No agent. Yes, you want to participate. Makes disembarkation a breeze. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BlerkOne Posted January 24, 2022 #4 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Then disembarkation is not a breeze. But it could also be used to mark you on or off the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare slavigne5577 Posted January 24, 2022 Author #6 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Thank you, is that for when we board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinchem Posted January 24, 2022 #7 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I think they have thermal cameras to monitor crew and guests for temperature. This way if you have or develop a fever getting on or off ship they can screen you more carefully. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halterk Posted January 24, 2022 #12 Share Posted January 24, 2022 It makes getting off the ship SOOOO much faster. It's basically like a tablet that takes your picture, then you leave. That's it. No waiting in line to go through customs. Take picture and leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was in use at the time, but a great place to scan people coming back to the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also a Deck A, and Deck B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you will have to line up for manual verification of residency I suppose. Three words get a passport and keep it in your safe. What if you got injured in Mexico and have to fly home?

It happens automatically when they scan in your face at check in for facial recognition purposes...commonly called "smile & go". It's soooo much easier and convenient now.
