leerathje Posted June 19 #1 Share Posted June 19 For those of you who have embarked in Vancouver the past week or so, have they used this system? Did it speed up things for you? https://www.biv.com/news/transportation/facial-scanning-technology-speeds-boarding-on-vancouver-cruises-9101253 Leanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nw gardener Posted June 19 #2 Share Posted June 19 It was used for our June 1 embarkation, yes it does seem to speed things up, at least for us with only 2 ships that day. We arrived at the port at 11:30 and were in our cabin at 12:10. Amazingly painless for Vancouver . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH has all but threatened divorce if he has to endure the fiasco that is embarking in Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nw gardener Posted June 19 #4 Share Posted June 19 @Haljo1935, Vancouver still has it's issues and have read that 3 ship days are still bad at times since all have to go through the same choke points of security and CBP. The terminal has a lot of walking and changing different levels with few escalators/elevators which makes it worse. Yes, we have endured some nightmares there! but they have streamlined the process better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouremco Posted June 19 #5 Share Posted June 19 The article only mentions Alaskan cruises, but hopefully we will benefit from this technology later this year for our Hawaiian cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
