On Board Seabourn Odyssey

[EagleRocker]

We were on the cruise that disembarked in Vancouver on May 26 and went to YVR on the next morning (Saturday).  We have Global Entry and CLEAR and did not use the mobile passport control app.  We used the Global Entry lane and went to the scanners where you scan your passport, but did not even have to make that minimal effort.  A quick look at the mirror for a retinal scan and we each got a "good to go" type message.  We then walked a few feet to the lines where people were waiting to go through passport control and there was a separate lane (no one in it) for those with Global Entry.  We had only just gotten to the lane when the passport officer called out our two first names and simply waved us through.  We both laughed out loud at how fast and painless the whole going through immigration control had been (all of about 1-2 minutes, tops).  We never showed anyone our passport (other than the gate agent when we arrived at the airport).  Global Entry has always saved us time and effort, as has CLEAR (which YVR does not have).
