MPC app was a waste of time for Fort Lauderdale’s port Everglades..

Talked to everyone on my way to the bus starting at the gangway. Showed my QR code to anyone who would look. They all acted like I had two heads. “Disney doesn’t have one of those machine” I was told by the customs officers.

Do they have Global Entry at the DCL terminal at Port Everglades?

Can't say for Port Everglades since it is so new but I have never seen Global Entry at any cruise port. I always look as we have Global Entry.

Many ports are using facial recognition.

I can't recall which port it was, but I saw Global Entry signs at one of them (non DCL cruise). The signs didn't mean anything though, even with Global Entry you still had to go through the queue with everyone else. That was many years ago and newer facial recognition makes the process much smoother.

Some of the terminals at PE used to have a GE line, but passengers needed the card because there were no self-use machines, just a separate line.

Now, as someone mentioned above, many (most?) of the terminals have facial recognition. Just pause, get face scanned, wait for the green light, proceed.

Of course, if you have to declare, you need to indicate that to an officer.

Thanks. I was curious as the Royal Caribbean terminal had it and we were able to flash our NEXUS cards and go through that lane. Saves us a lot of time.
