Hello, We will be disembarking our cruise ship in Vancouver. Can anyone tell me the procedure for disembarking? Will passports be checked as we are getting off the ship, the night before or after we get off the ship? Is there a "fast lane" for checking passports for those of us going directly from the ship to the airport? Do they do in-depth background checks on everyone getting off the ship? If they do, I imagine the wait time to get off the ship would be crazy long. Thank you!
