The last time though (March) it was facial recognition and it was so quick I didn't notice if there was still a GE line. Other Pier 26 cruises there was a GE line on the far right and it was one of the few times they asked to see your GE cart at the start of he line
Also if you have global entry you can now use Canada’s version of pre check “verified travellers”
you need your global entry card and be able to use the “front of the line” lane

There is a crown wine and spirits crownwineandspirits.com on 17th near the port which has a nice wine selection. We are on the same cruise and are staying at the Renaissance. Crown is an easy walk from there and also on the way to our traditional pre-cruise seafood fix southportrawbar.com
Looking forward to the cruise!!
Just adding our thanks for the amazing research and steady posts. We are on the 2025 horizon for our first World and you have provided some encouragement that there are some fun guests on board
Maybe Viking should take the lead from NCL. Excerpt and link

A trick for the Lufthansa group that has worked for me is to use the App not the website. Also I found that accessing a reservation via a partner App allowed me to select seats when the operating airlines App would not. I.e. I have an upcoming flight on Swiss and the Swiss app offered no seat selection. I accessed the same reservation in the Austrian App and I could select seats. It may not work in all cases but it might be worth a try. Due to previous trips I have accounts setup for each Airline (Lufthansa Swiss Austrian Brussels) which also may help
This all may not be possible until your flights are ticketed but again it might be worth a try
i just noticed the last line about it being a Lufthansa flight operating by United. Check with United and get their reservation # you should be able to select seats even if not ticketed.
good luck!
we were on a few weeks ago and full receipt mode. Table of 4 four receipts and waited for them to be signed Definitely slowed down service esp in the music venues
