Once inside the terminal, we showed our passports and boarding passes and were directed to security. There were only a couple people ahead of us, so we were thru that line quickly and off to the actual check-in line. Once again, it was just minutes before we were at an agent who completed the paperwork.
Princess Cruises would be retaining the passports throughout the voyage, so a label was affixed to the passport and
claim checks presented to us. We didn't know it then, but they would make copies of our photo page and deliver that to
our staterooms. That would be needed in Vietnam along with a landing card.
After completing the check-in, there was one more security point - Singapore immigration. We were directed to one of
the lanes which have a passport scanner. Once your passport is read, a gate opens and you enter. There's a second gate
which blocks your progress. To open the final gate, there's a fingerprint scanner. You may recall that our fingerprints
were taken upon arrival at the airport immigration checkpoint. Passing through this gated area, we were now off to the waiting area.
Since we are elite members, we were directed to Group 2 waiting area. After a brief wait, it was time for our group to board the ship. There was the usual photo opportunity in front of a green screen, followed by scanning of our cabin card and photo by the ship's security.
This was a very efficient embarkation process. We'd left our hotel around 11 am and were onboard in our stateroom before noon. It was time to explore the ship and get some lunch.
