cyntil8ing Posted July 19, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2022 It's been a few years since I disembarked in Baltimore, but having used facial recognition in Miami and Bayonne, it certainly seems to speed things along for those with passports. https://www.baltimoresun.com/maryland/baltimore-city/cng-co-face-biometrics-port-of-baltimore-20220719-oi4w74m6rbfcbbn5kyx7yhde6e-story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipgeeks Posted July 20, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Thanks for the news. We've never found Baltimore disembarkation to be time-consuming, but every bit helps.

Rare vadersprincess12 Posted August 9, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 9, 2022 After you disembark the ship and walk into the terminal area for customs you will simply step up to the monitor which will capture a photo of your face and then you'll be on your way. They do recommend that you keep your passport handy in case there is an issue with the photo. It's a very quick process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTJ Posted August 10, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2022 The more important issue, as least for those of us who desire to limit Big Brother, is the training of those individuals directing inspection traffic. At Bayonne, New Jersey, I have found that it is very simple to decline photo recognition and instead have regular immigration inspection, with all persons involved cooperative and efficient in doing so. Hopefully Baltimore personnel are being similarly trained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
