All our other visits to Europe during the past 20 years are by air. Prior to arrival the cruise ships transmit a passenger manifest with passport info to their respective ports of call. Speeds up disembarkation so you can get to the tourist traps faster, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each time Immigration scans your passport, the information and dates are probably kept in a database for future retrieval. If the passport number is part of the manifest, port authorities can quickly retrieve your information if something is not right. Also, depending on the country issuing the passport, the chances of a secondary screening increases or decreases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Entry card works as well... you can keep the drivers license in your wallet... the TSA agent doesn't need to know my address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
