Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Backflow Testable Assembly Log
Violation: The testable assembly log indicated that 22 Reduced Pressure Zone Assemblies (RPZ) were not tested within the one year requirement. Thirteen were to be tested by 22 Janyary 2023 and 9 were to be tested by 25 January 2023. The inspection took place on 26 January 2023. Staff stated testing for these devices was in progress.
Recommendation: Inspect and test backflow prevention devices requiring testing (e.g., reduced pressure backflow prevention devices and pressure vacuum breakers) with a test kit after installation and at least annually. Maintain test results showing the pressure differences on both sides of the valves.
Item No.: 10
Site: Recreational Water Facilities-Main Pool
Violation: When the inspector and staff approached the main pool, the water was gathering and filling the forward skim gutters exclusively. Visually, half of the pool was not 'effective' skimming. The inspector and staff called the bridge to verify if the ship's trim was unusually forward. The bridge stated the trim was insignificant. Staff explained conversations with the shipyard concerning the design dynamics and calculations concerning compensation tank/turnover rates specific to this pool. The inspector and staff decided that along with turnover rate calculations being verified, conducting a visual skim test was appropriate. Further correspondence is taking place.
Recommendation: For RWFs with skim gutters, ensure that the fill level of the RWF is to the level of the skim gutters.
Item No.: 16
Site: Dining Room-Deck 6 - The Wake Menu
Violation: The asterisk used to denote food items that could be served raw or undercooked was very small and hard to decipher when reading the menu.

Locate the advisory at the outlets where these types of food are served. Ensure that raw shell egg preparations are not used in uncooked products as described in section 7.3.3.2.3. Ensure that disclosure is made by the following methods: On a menu using an asterisk at the animal-derived foods requiring disclosure and a footnote with a statement indicating that consuming raw or undercooked meats, seafood, shellfish, eggs, milk, or poultry may increase your risk for foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions.
