Item No.: 07
Site: Potable Water-Distribution System Maintenance
Violation: The far point records for the lower loop indicated that on 21 February a section of potable water piping was replaced. There was no documentation to show where or what maintenance took place, nor did the staff know what was done. It was also unclear if the new section of piping was disinfected with at least 50 ppm free halogen residual for 4 hours prior to service.
Recommendation: Clean, disinfect, and flush potable water tanks and all affected parts of the potable water distribution system with potable water: (1) before being placed in service; (2) before returning to operation after repair, replacement; or (3) after being subjected to any contamination, including entry into a potable water tank. Disinfect after potential contamination by increasing the free residual halogen to at least 50 mg/L (ppm) throughout the affected area and maintain this concentration for 4 hours or by way of another procedure submitted to and accepted by VSP.
Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Distribution System Maintenance
Violation: The far point records for the lower loop indicated that on 21 February a section of piping was replaced. There was no documentation to show what or where the maintenance took place, nor did the staff know what was done. It was also unclear if the new section of piping was disinfected with at least 50 ppm free halogen residual for 4 hours prior to service.
Recommendation: Maintain documentation of all inspections, maintenance, cleaning, and disinfection for 12 months and ensure it is available for review during inspections.
Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Bunker Hoses
Violation: As the inspectors boarded the ship before the start of the inspection, three connection ends to two bunker hoses were observed uncapped and laying directly on the pier prior to the start of bunkering. One uncapped end was observed hanging between the side of the pier and the ship, but was not close to contacting the water. It was unclear if the connections were sanitized prior to the start of bunkering.
Recommendation: Handle potable water hoses with care to prevent contamination from dragging their ends on the ground, pier, or deck surfaces, or from dropping the hose into contaminated water.
Item No.: 11
Site: Medical-24 Hour Isolation
Violation: Medical records indicated that a reportable non-food worker was isolated for less than the required 24 hours from the last symptom. The electronic medical database showed that a singer who met the reportable case definition, had her last GI symptom on 26 April at 1416, but was released from isolation on 27 April at 1405.
Recommendation: When nonfood employees meet the case definition for AGE, ensure the following actions are taken: (1) isolate in cabin or designated restricted area until symptom-free for a minimum of 24 hours.
Item No.: 16
Site: Bar-Cafe' al Bacio
Violation: The posted time control plan for this operation specified the food to be labeled with the product discard time. The time labels on containers of food in the display cooler which was on the time control plan specified only a set up time.
Recommendation: Ensure the posted time control plans are followed.
Item No.: 16
Site: Galley-Normandie
Violation: Two quarts of cream were found at 50F in reach-in cooler #144. The cooler thermometer was reading 9C (48F). The temperature was recorded in the monitoring log at 6 AM (4 hours earlier) at less than 41F (5C). The cartons of cream were discarded.
Recommendation: Except during preparation, cooking, or cooling, or when time is used as the public health control, maintain potentially hazardous foods at 57C (135F) or above or 5C (41F) or less.
Item No.: 16
Site: Galley-Bistro
Violation: The posted time control plan specified a color coded dot system for managing individual containers of potentially hazardous foods. A system of time control labels for individual containers with setup and discard labels is actually being used for this galley. The new plan was posted before the inspection team left the area.
Recommendation: Ensure the posted time control plans are followed.
Item No.: 16
Site: Bar-Cafe' al Bacio
Violation: Half pints of milk in reach-in-cooler #1 were measured at 42 - 46F. The reach-in thermometer indicated a cooler temperature of less than 41F. The milk had just been transported to the bar which may account for some of the elevation of temperature. The air flow in the small cooler may be impeded by the solid trays that the milk was being stored on.
Recommendation: Except during preparation, cooking, or cooling, or when time is used as the public health control, maintain potentially hazardous foods at or 5C (41F) or less.
Item No.: 19
Site: Other-Gelateria - Deck 5
Violation: The ice cream dipper well located on the service bar was not protected from potential contamination. There was less than 40 inches of unobstructed space between the dipper well and where passengers can stand while ordering.
Recommendation: Protect food on display from contamination by the use of packaging; counter, service line, or salad bar food guards; display cases; self-closing hinged lids; or other effective means. Install side protection for sneeze guards if the distance between exposed food and where consumers are expected to stand is less than 1 meter (40 inches).
Item No.: 21
Site: Room Service-Bell Box
Violation: There was a hole at the bottom panel of the grooved grill near where the drain pipe penetrated that was difficult to clean.
Recommendation: Ensure nonfood-contact surfaces are free of unnecessary ledges, projections, and crevices, and designed and constructed to allow easy cleaning and to facilitate maintenance.
Item No.: 21
Site: Galley-Normandie
Violation: There was hole that was difficult to clean near the bottom panel of the deep fat fryer near where the oil drain pipe penetrated. The adjacent grooved grill also had a similar problem.
Recommendation: Ensure nonfood-contact surfaces are free of unnecessary ledges, projections, and crevices, and designed and constructed to allow easy cleaning and to facilitate maintenance.
Item No.: 26
Site: Pantry-Deck 7 Aft
Violation: There was an accumulation of granular black sediment in the water return bath to the deck mounted ice machine.
Recommendation: Ensure food contact surfaces of equipment and utensils are clean to sight and touch.
Item No.: 26
