[Presentation]

Flies in the food preparation areas. Milk, cheese, eggs and yogurt kept in too-hot temperatures. Soiled and clogged machinery.

These were some of the conditions uncovered by two inspectors from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention during a routine November inspection of the Carnival Triumph.

We were on in December and on the 23rd they were expecting a new inspection so this is likely old news. Triumph was one of the best ships we have been on - great crew and things ran like clockwork.

I believe this is the second Carnival ship to have failed an inspection.

 

Wondering how many heads will roll.

I think this is good news for those of us on cruises after that one - they'll be scouring everything on all the ships to make sure that everything is inspection-ready! Not that they shouldn't be all the time, but these things seem to snowball.

That was only reported on crewsweeper' date=' and is not validated by the CDC website. In fact, while reviewing [b']every[/b] score for Carnival going back to 2000, while there have been some low scores, this appears to be the only failure across the fleet during this time frame.

 

Not sure if "heads will roll", but certainly senior management needs to be reprimanded for allowing a general lack of awareness of sanitation requirements. This is why at NCL, we did a "USPH inspection" every week, using nearly every supervisor on the ship. Each area was inspected as a USPH inspector would, by a team of two supervisors, one from the area being inspected, and one from a completely different department, to provide "fresh eyes" to see things that the people in the area go "blind" to. Certainly, the Staff Captain, HD, F&B Director, Executive Chef, Staff Chief Engineer, and Sanitation Supervisor need a large kick in the butt to get training, and the "mind set" where USPH procedures are second nature, back to where it needs to be.

Fascination failed in 2013 and 2016 with a score of 84 each time

 

Legend received an 83 in April 2017

Hmm, my bad. Guess its the snow melting on my glasses. Thanks. Something up with their filtering, as I couldn't filter to just failing scores like I used to.

Thanks for the info.

I sailed on Triumph in September and the ship showed a lot of wear and tear but we had fun anyway and did not have any issues with spoiled food or getting sick. I thought the food was pretty good with the exception of the buffet - but I haven’t cared for the buffet on any ship I’ve been on so that was no surprise. I am surprised to hear this news.

Well duh, he's not paid to share bad news about his employer. I love John's page but he's not an independent source. He's there to project a positive brand image for Carnival.
