Ortega: You know, the cruise business benefits Vancouver,
it benefits the U.S. and you know, our whole purpose here is to
provide the best experience that we can to our cruise line guests.
Pre-inspection is a benefit that Port Metro Vancouver offers to cruise line guests.
CBP processes passengers here in Vancouver
so when they arrive at their first port of call in Alaska,
they can basically get off the ship and start enjoying their vacation.
They don't need to worry about, you know,
finding their passport or you know, getting processed again.
They're there; they can start their shore excursion and having fun.
