Read through enough CDC Vessel Sanitation inspection reports, and you see that sometimes cruise ships get written up for some rather petty stuff. “The plastic tasting spoons [in the Deck 3 Galley] were not dispensed with the handles all facing the same way,” read one violation in the Feb. 26 report on the 41,000-ton Norwegian Wind. But more often than not, the CDC inspectors find scarier problems. Like possible poisoned food and toys scary. In the same report cited above, inspectors also wrote that, “mold was noted inside a sealed package of mozzarella cheese.” And over in the Kid’s Corner, “the Lego toys were found still wet with disinfectant in a large plastic bin.”
