Welcome everyone!
For P&O passengers aboard the P&O Arcadia, it was "Like arriving at Guantanamo Bay," according to the Daily Mail.
News giant " The Telegraph ", reports that passengers arriving in Los Angeles during a two-and-a-half month cruise from the UK to Alaska were put through extensive, passenger-by-passenger security check points that included fingerprinting, retinal scans and verbal questioning.
It was uncomfortable and reached up to a seven-hour event that delayed the departure of the ship. People had to stand for long periods of time and did not have access to bathroom facilities, food and or water.
You might question why I have mentioned news about a popular British cruise line when this is supposed to be about American cruise lines! Well my answer is that this deals with the U.S. Customs and Boarder patrol and I don't think they should have delayed these passengers when they have been cleared at many other ports. This just gives more bad reputation towards them and U.S. cruise ports and downgrades their process. I would be furious!
Please leave your comments and thoughts below! Again please spread the word about this blog and we appreciate your return! Thanks again.
