Item No.: 10
Site: Recreational Water Facilities-Whirlpool Spa Antientrapment Drains
Violation: The two whirlpool spas were open at the time of inspection, but no passengers were onboard. The antientrapment drains appeared to be cracked, so both whirlpool spas were drained during the inspection. Upon inspection of the drained whirlpool spas, both drains had multiple cracks near the screws and near the center drain cover. When the inspector evaluated the integrity of the port whirlpool spa drain cover, the drain cover broke into two pieces. One large broken piece completely disconnected from the screws and the bottom of the pool, leaving an exposed drain line below. Crew immediately installed new antientrapment drain covers. Crew reported that the drain covers were due to be replaced in early 2018.
Recommendation: Maintain antrientrapment drains in good repair. Ensure there are no cracks in the drain cover. Ensure the drain cover cannot easily break into multiple pieces.
Item No.: 13
Site: Galley-Culinary School
Violation: The approved variance for the culinary school states 'persons under the age of eighteen may not participate in the Bon Appetit Culinary Center Workshop'; however, blank youth program participation forms for minors were located in the culinary school. Crew stated there was no youth program onboard, but the participation form may be for when minors want to join their parents/guardians. The inspector referred to the variance condition regarding the age restriction, and crew reported they did not know why the form was present. No forms signed by parents/guardians were presented to the inspector.
Recommendation: Ensure compliance with the approved variance for the Marina "Bon Appetit Culinary Center" Workshop.
Item No.: 16
Site: Pantry-Waves Refrigerator 4
Violation: The temperature of two samples of a previously opened carton of heavy cream, dated 25-31 DEC 2017, was measured by the inspector at 45°F. A previously opened container of egg nog was measured at 45°F. The egg nog was not dated, but crew reported it was opened and served on 25 DEC 2017. Crew stated this is the only day of the year the egg nog is served. The margin of error of the inspector's thermometer was +/- 0.7°F. Crew measured the same temperature of one of the samples as the inspector. Both products were immediately discarded.
Recommendation: Except during preparation, cooking, or cooling, or when time is used as the public health control, maintain potentially hazardous foods at 57°C (135°F) or above, except that roasts may be held at a temperature of 54°C (130°F); or 5°C (41°F) or less. Ensure refrigerated, ready-to-eat, potentially hazardous food: (2) Prepared and packaged by a food-processing plant and held on the vessel after opening for more than 24 hours must be clearly marked at the time the original container is opened to indicate the date by which the food must be consumed (7 calendar days or fewer after the original container is opened). The day of opening is counted as day 1.
Item No.: 16
Site: Preparation Room-
Violation: Fish Trolley 9 and Butcher Trolley 10 were labeled 'time control' but there was no time control plan present. Crew reported that food in the area was kept on temperature control. Crew from deck 14 would come to the preparation room, label food on time control, load the trolleys, and then bring the food on time control to their respective areas. Crew reported they would post a time control plan in the preparation room. When the time control plans were presented to the inspector, Butcher Trolley 10 was listed on the time control plan, but Fish Trolley 9 was not. The time control plan was labeled for deck 14, but did not describe the flow of food starting at the preparation room on time control.
Recommendation: Maintain a written time control plan(s) that ensures compliance with these guidelines on the vessel and make it available for review during inspections. Post a time control plan at each outlet where time control is used. Ensure plan(s): (1) Includes set-up and discard times for each outlet. (2) List refrigeration and hot holding units (compartments and cabinets) on time control (the physical units must also be labeled as such). (3) Describe or show the flow of potentially hazardous food from when last in temperature control to placement in time control and discard.
Item No.: 19
Site: Bar-Barista
Violation: The sneeze guard above the two trays of self-service cookies did not adequately protect the food from contamination. Crew reported it had recently been installed. This area was open for service; however, no passengers were present.
Recommendation: Protect food from contamination by storing the food: (1) Covered or otherwise protected; (2) In a clean, dry location; and (3) Where it is not exposed to splash, dust, or other contamination. 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). Protect food from contamination that may result from a physical, chemical, biological origin.
