twincheryl Posted October 26, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Our Alaska cruise 5/21/20 on Solstice has Hawaii to Vancouver right before... and before that is Tahiti to Hawaii. Will they likely do all their immigration stuff in Hawaii before going on to Vancouver? We've been the first cruise after a TA before, and know it can often delay boarding. Wondering if we should just hang out in Vancouver and board after lunch. Thanks, in advance, to all the experts on here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouremco Posted October 26, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Whatever "immigration stuff" that US authorities might undertake in Hawaii is really not particularly relevant to the customs and immigration process that will be undertaken in Vancouver by Canadian authorities. Unlike the delays experience following a TA arriving in Port Everglades, I read nothing about post-TP delays in Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having noticed that ours is the first Alaska cruise of the season, I looked to see where the ship was coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge, Canada doesn't maintain staff for immigration/customs in Hawaii, so the ship/pax can't clear Canadian immigration until it actually gets to Canada.
