    I recently took a cruise to Mexico, when we returned the customs line was very quick because of this technology. It scanned my face it and gave me a green light and I moved along.

    Since we were on a dedicated ship to one port I didn’t even get the where are you coming from and going to questions.

        To be honest no one did since it was just a three-day to Mexico and only one port of call everyone was just shuffle through.

        I’m not saying it can’t be miss used, or that new tech is often riddled with issues. I appreciate not having to wait three hours to get through customs.

        I can’t imagine offloading one of the new 8000 passenger ships without this.
