Medical-Reporting
|
|
Violation:
The 24 and 4 hour reporting being automatically submitted by the electronic medical database was reporting incorrect passenger and crew counts for several recent voyages. The current voyage from 6 - 13 September reported 2187 passengers and 911 crew members when in reality the cruise began with 2152 passengers and 897 crew members. On the voyage from 9 - 16 August, the 24 hour report listed 2,419 passengers and 903 crew members, but when the cruise began, there were only 2,385 passengers and 871 crew members.
|
|
Recommendation:
Ensure that the count of on board passengers and crew is accurate for each voyage and that all other information on cases is accurate. A corporate review should be made immediately to understand and correct the error generated by the electronic medical record system.

Recreational Water Facilities-Whirlpool Antientrapment
|
|
Violation:
It was unclear whether the two suction drain covers at each of the two newly installed whirlpools were compliant with ASME A112.19.8 requirements. Also, each of the whirlpools had 2 suction drains that were less than 3 feet apart and had no secondary anitentrapment feature such as an SVRS or APS. According to staff, these whirlpools were installed in August 2013.
|
|
Recommendation:
For RWFs with suction fittings and a single blockable drain or multiple drains (less than 3 feet apart), provide an ASME A112.19.8 compliant antientrapment/antientanglement drain cover and a safety vacuum release system or automatic pump shut-off system.

Recreational Water Facilities-Kids Pool and Slide
|
|
Violation:
There were no chart recorder records for the chlorine residual and pH monitoring for the kids water slide since April 2013. Only some of the water circulation for the pool and slide are combined, and the combined parts involve the compensation tank. To be treated as one combined system the water from the pool would fully supply the slide and all the water returning from the slide should drain directly back to the pool. As designed there should be individual monitoring and recording from the slide and the pool.
|
|
Recommendation:
Install chart recorders or electronic data loggers with security features that record pH and halogen measurements for each individual RWF. Ensure the sample line for the analyzer probe (monitoring) is either directly from the RWF or on the return line from each RWF and before the compensation tank. Install appropriate sample taps for analyzer calibration. In the event of equipment failure, measure free residual halogen and pH by a manual test kit at the RWF or return line at least hourly for whirlpool spas, spa pools, children?s pools, and wading pools and every 4 hours for all other RWFs. Record manual readings on a chart or log, retain for at least 12 months, and ensure that they are available for review during inspections. Complete repairs on malfunctioning halogen analyzer-chart recorders within 30 days of equipment failure. Provide an audible alarm in a continuously occupied watch station to indicate low and high free halogen and pH readings in each RWF.
