Item No.: 06
Site: Potable Water-Bunker Analyzer
Violation: The analyzer at the right bunker station was reading a chlorine value of 2. 24 ppm during active bunkering. The inspector had a chlorine test result of 2.97 ppm and the crew member had a result of 3.00 ppm. Staff stated that the analyzer was malfunctioning and could not be calibrated during the inspection. This is a new requirement of the 2018 VSP Operations Manual.
Recommendation: Calibrate at the beginning of bunkering or production, and each time bunkering or production is restarted, when halogen and pH analyzer-chart recorders are used in lieu of manual tests and logs. Ensure the calibration is recorded on the chart or logbook. Ensure the free residual halogen and pH measured by the halogen/ pH analyzer are accurate to within 0.2 mg/L (ppm) of the free residual halogen and 0.2 of the PH as measured by the manual test.
Item No.: 06
Site: Medical-Microbiologic Sample Procedure
Violation: Staff stated that the heating unit for the microbiologic testing, had a 'ramp-up' period before the unit reaches the designated temperature of 35C. According to the manufacturer, the sample needs to be held at 35C for a 24-hour time frame. With this 'ramp-up' period, the 24-hour time period was not met. According to staff, the water sample was typically placed in the heating unit during the 'ramp-up' period before the incubator reached 35C.
Recommendation: If water samples are collected and analyzed by the vessel for the presence of E. coli, analyze the samples using a method accepted in Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater. Ensure test kits, incubators, and associated equipment are operated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturers' specifications.
Item No.: 08

Item No.: 10
Site: Recreational Water Facilities-Slides
Violation: The two slide RWF only had one data logger sample point on the combined return line from the bottom of each slide run-out. Each slide had its own water supply line that came from a combined compensation tank. Each line goes through its own filtration and chemical dosing and supplies the top of the each slide, respectively. The water at the bottom of each slide drains into the same combined compensation tank.
Recommendation: Install chart recorders or electronic data loggers with certified data 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. Ensure that manual samples from the RWF tub are compared to the analyzer samples in the pump room to assess potential water quality differences in the RWF.
Item No.: 10
Site: Recreational Water Facilities-Pool 2
Violation: Pool 2 was a combined wading pool and swimming pool but had a stainless steel divider. However, water was able to freely flow through the divider. The wading pool side of the facility had its own entrance and pool safety sign as did the swimming pool side of the facility. This combined RWF had a turnover rate of 3.8 hours. VSP received a plan from the corporate office to remove the stainless steel divider by 31 December 2018.
Recommendation: For RWFs with skim gutters, ensure that the fill level of the RWF is to the level of the skim gutters. Design recirculation systems and equipment, including chemical control equipment, UV disinfection systems, filter, and pumps to maintain adequate water chemistry control while operating at the following minimum turnover rates: (1) swimming pool (VSP 2005 Construction Guidelines or earlier): 6 hours; (2) swimming pool (VSP 2011 Construction Guidelines or later): 4 hours; (3) children's pool: 0.5 hours; (4) wading pool: 1 hour; (5) whirlpool spa: 0.5 hours; (6) spa pool: 2 hours; (7) interactive RWF or activity pool less than 610 millimeters (24 inches) deep: 1 hour; (8) interactive RWF or activity pool greater than 610 millimeters (24 inches) deep: 2 hours; and (9) baby-only water facility: 0.5 hours. Ensure an RWF slide that is combined with a pool has a turnover rate that matches the rate for the pool. For facilities that meet the definition of more than one type of RWF, the more protective turnover rate applies.

The two temporary bars of the port and starboard side of the main pool deck were under a deckhead, but the hard deckhead was covered by a canvass material that was not easily cleanable. More than half of the temporary bar set-up in the Solarium was not under any deckhead. These temporary bars were set-up due to the increased liquor demand from a charter cruise that was starting on the day of the inspection. All four of these bars only served can/bottle beer and simple mixed drinks.
Recommendation: Ensure decks, bulkheads, and deckheads in food preparation, warewashing, pantries, bars, and food and equipment storage areas are constructed and maintained for easy cleaning. Do not use carpet in these areas.
