Potable Water-Cross-Connection Log
|
Violation:
The cross-connection log did not include all the non-testable backflow prevention devices in the recycling center nor did it properly list the type of backflow prevention devices that were installed. Additionally, the air gaps for the mineralizers in the engine room were not on the list provided to the inspector for review. At the end of the inspection, crew presented a different list to the inspector that had the mineralizers listed.
|
Recommendation:
Ensure the cross-connection control program includes at a minimum: a complete listing of cross-connections and the backflow prevention method or device for each, so there is a match to the plumbing system component and location. Include air gaps on the listing. Ensure a schedule for inspection frequency is set. Maintain a log documenting the inspection and maintenance in written or electronic form, and ensure it is available for review during inspections.

Bar-Deck 10 Red Frog Bar Glasswash
|
Violation:
The hood-type glasswash machine had a maximum 131F wash temperature and 141F plate surface temperature with the inspectors thermocable. The second cycle measured a maximum 141F wash temperatuer and 143F plate surface temperature. The inspector was told the glasswash machine was in operation all morning. However, it was immediately taken out of service after the temperature checks. A technician was called immediately to fix the machine.
|
Recommendation:
Ensure the temperature of the wash solution in spray type warewashers that use hot water to sanitize is not less than: (1) 74C (165F) for a stationary-rack, single-temperature machine; (2) 66C (150F) for a stationary-rack, dual-temperature machine; (3) 71C (160F) for a single-tank, conveyor, dual-temperature machine; (4) 66C (150F) for a multi-tank, conveyor, multi-temperature machine.

Housekeeping-Bleach Solution Spray Bottles
|
Violation:
Spray bottles stored inside housekeeping pantries on Decks 7, 8, and 9 had bleach and not 50-200 ppm bleach solution as indicated on the spray bottle labels. Test strips were sprayed with the solution in the bottles and no color change registered on the chlorine paper test strips even though there was a strong odor of chlorine. The inspector sprayed into a drinking glass and added water and re-checked with the paper test strip which immediately turned a dark blue color. Multiple housekeeping pantries on these decks were checked and all pantries had 2-3 spray bottles labeled as 50-200 ppm bleach solution; no other deck pantries were checked. Staff reported the spray bottles are used by housekeeping stewards to sanitize the passenger stateroom refrigerators on turnaround day. Staff reported the bleach solution is mixed on turnaround day in bulk and then portioned into individual spray bottles for the pantries. Staff believed the spray concentration was incorrectly diluted when mixed on the last turnaround day on 8 April. Corrective action was immediately taken by staff.
|
Recommendation:
Ensure sanitizing solutions are used with the following concentrations: (1) A chlorine solution with a concentration between 50 mg/L (ppm) and 200 mg/L (ppm).
