Disembarkation form/immigration forms for return to US

[redroses]

Does anyone have a copy of the disembarkation form where you are able to choose your time? Also, on a cruise with a stop to Canada and returning to the US, does one have to fill out any immigration or agricultural forms before entering the US?  Thanks.

On my Alaska cruise in May 2022 we had a stop in Victoria and we had to fill out Canada immigration form before we ported in Victoria.

I'm not sure how much benefit the form to choose your disembarkation time will be because the options and times are going to vary by ship and itinerary.

 

CBP stopped requiring the blue immigration forms from everyone (at least on round-trip cruises returning the US) before COVID.  Presumably if you told the CBP officer you had something to declare they'd have you fill out the form.

We just disembarked from the Enchanted a few days ago, Canada/New England to/from Brooklyn. A few days before entering Canadian waters, Stewart left two copies of the Canadian Customs forms as mentioned above (the same ones used on airplanes entering Canada). We filled them out and handed them back to him and that was it. On returning to Brooklyn, absolutely nothing to do but walk up to a camera, let it take your picture and when the light turns green, away you go. Never needed to speak with anyone.

 

As to the Princess disembarkation form, it will probably vary from ship to ship, sailing to sailing as was mentioned above. The first timeslots for us were self-walkoff, which we did, starting at 7AM, though we were actually at our car in the parking lot by 6:50AM. They go all the way to the last disembarkations with collecting bags, at 9:30 by which time everyone was expected to be off the ship.  Keep in mid that if the time slot and baggage tags they give you don't work for you, just head down to Guest Services and ask for your desired disembarkation time and a new set of tags.
