GETTING OFF THE SHIP WAS A DISASTER, CRUISE NEWS
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator describes a frustrating experience disembarking a cruise ship in Los Angeles. After experiencing delays with customs clearance, the creator notes that the ship's lounge remained crowded with passengers and luggage because the terminal was not yet ready to receive them. Although the creator eventually exited the ship about an hour and fifteen minutes behind schedule, the primary issue occurred during the customs process. The creator explains that the terminal utilized separate lines for United States citizens and non-United States citizens. While the lines for domestic travelers and those with mobility assistance moved steadily, the line for foreign passport holders remained stagnant for over ninety minutes. The creator observes that officials appeared to process approximately 3,500 passengers from the other lines before addressing the foreign passport queue. Despite the long wait, the actual processing time once reaching the officer was very quick. The creator concludes by questioning the logic of the terminal's organization, noting that elderly passengers were forced to stand for extended periods while watching other lines move past them.

It was unbelievably ridiculous to do it this way. to have people stand up and we're talking there's some 80 and 90 year old people standing up for over an hour and a half in line with their luggage.
I literally walked up, handed him my passport. He looked at it, said, 'How was my cruise?' I said, 'It was terrific.'
