Quick question about Global Entry. Do cruises count as travel outside the U.S.?

Hi all, so we went on a cruise in June of 2015, and we did go back through Customs from our Disney cruise. Does that mean we have to remember the islands and put that down?

Just a guess here, but since cruise passengers usually are covered by a 'blanket visa' for all passengers at the vast majority of port calls- and you don't get a visa stamp in your individual passport, I don't think you would have to note each one.

We've been on cruises where we had to (or the country visited had people onboard to process the passports) clear immigration and get stamps. China and Russia most notably.

Since your cruise occurred almost 5 years ago, I wouldn't note anyplace that you didn't get a visa stamp. No other evidence would exist that would contradict this.

Unless it was Cuba, it’s not a big deal. I would put down what you remember. The web site probably has a similar itinerary to jog your memory.
Cheers

Cuba really slows things down. Wife and I just renewed our Global Entry, about two months apart. Hers was renewed and new card received in about three weeks. Mine took just over FOUR months. Only difference? I visited Cuba.

I just applied for renewal of my Global Entry two days ago. Got approval today, no interview needed.
