However, at extreme stress points, along boarding a cruise ship, there has to be a better way to address discrepancies without insulting those who have paid $10s of thousands of dollars to get to that point. Hard copy documentation is not always the best source for authentication of a person's identity. Seattle is a great city and deserves better treatment of tourists traveling...
