Frequently Asked Questions
What is the A-Pass Security System?

A-PASS: Automated Personnel Assisted Security Screening.

The A-PASS is a computerized system for tracking all persons, both guests and crew, who enter and exit the ship. Upon arrival at the ship, each guest is issued a boarding card (Sign & Sail) which they must swipe to be officially logged on to the ship. The system imbeds a full color, digital photograph together with personal database information on their boarding card. When an individual slides his or her card, a computer displays a corresponding photo with database information and merges time and date tracking information upon entry or exit. This system saves valuable time and effort for the Shipboard Security as they only have to verify the individuals' photo and database information on the computer screen rather than having to physically match the guest with their photo ID and boarding card. 

Note: This system has been implemented on all ships in our fleet.
