Paid4c4 Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 For those interested I am including a link to all of the health inspections for cruise ships sailing from the US. We will be on the AdOS in August so I thought I would have a look. Historically AdOS has almost always had 95-100 percent cleanliness and sanitation reports. Sure glad we're not sailing on some ships with under a score of 50 or less! Here is the link; https://wwwn.cdc.gov/InspectionQueryTool/InspectionDetailReport.aspx?ColI=MjEyNjAyMjI%3d-No%2fPuGLgR0g%3d Bill Neesa, Kathleen, The Fox and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 Yet this is the kind of stuff they get dinged for. The same kind of stuff your local pizza place gets dinged for (though obviously those places aren't as rigorously cleaned as a cruise ship) Item No.: 28 Site: Other-Sorrento's Beverage Station Violation: One wet cup was out for service. This was sent to be rewashed. Recommendation: After cleaning and sanitizing, ensure equipment and utensils are air dried or adequately drained before contact with food. Item No.: 33 Site: Buffet-Windjammer Forward Jade Line Violation: The deckhead where the fire screen door slides was soiled with more than one day's worth of dust. This was cleaned immediately. Item No.: 39 Site: Galley-Sorrento's Violation: A fruit fly was observed near the dishwash area. The pest manager was called. Recommendation: Effectively control the presence of insects, rodents, and other pests to minimize their presence in the food storage, preparation, and service areas and warewashing and utensil storage areas aboard a vessel. teddy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Done Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 Inspect away. If trivial items are reported that's a good sign the ship is very clean and compliant! ChessE4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. I pulled that from Indy which had the lowest score of all RC ships at 90. The worst ones were dripping pipes on various pieces of dining room machines. There were a couple food temperature-related ones, but frankly those really aren't that unsafe even though they technically break rules.

LovetoCruise87 Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 Harmony's last inspection rated a 96!! Good to know. We are sailing on her in September Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 I found it interesting that Rhapsody, which gets picked on for being old and decrepit, scored a 100 on its last inspection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ship inspections aren't a reflection of onboard amenities, which is usually why people hate on Rhapsody Paid4c4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same kind of stuff your local pizza place gets dinged for (though obviously those places aren't as rigorously cleaned as a cruise ship) Yup. I’ve shown inspection reports to coworkers who try to tell me how unsanitary cruise ships are. The interesting part of this fact is that I am a meat cutter for a large regional chain. My coworkers and I deal with cleanliness and food safety inspections all the time. When I have shown the reports, they have gotten a kick out the fact that ships have the same hits we typically do. I did the behind the scenes tour on Vision pre-pandemic. Everything I saw was spotless, and it was neat to see the same sanitation program in the galley that we use.

memebag Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 This is fascinating. I love reading health inspection reports for local restaurants. Does anyone know why there aren't any RCI reports on that site after the pandemic? February 2020 is the most recent one I can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxboroCruiser Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 Yeah I wish I hadn’t read the details of one of those reports. The ship I dove into had a 96 or 98 score but the list or issues was looooong. Many we not problematic but some were. Credit to the CDC for doing a tremendously thorough inspection. Now I just want to forget everything I read! WAAAYTOOO and Paid4c4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChessE4 Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 On the lighter side, I'd wish they'd test the temperature of breakfast items served in the MDR. My hot meals are generally lukewarm, and the syrup is cold instead of room temperature! WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
