In transit in US, or not, for ESTA?
Upvote:3
While the phrase "transit" is not clarified in the ESTA Online help it is amply clarified on the transit visa page:
A passenger embarking from a foreign port on a cruise ship or other vessel which is proceeding to another country, other than the United States, but during the course of the journey, the vessel makes port in the United States with no intention of landing in the United States.
So: you are not in transit for sure. However, updating this kind of info in ESTA is easy and painless and for free. Look at ree-nyc's answer in this thread.
