Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Cross Connection-Control Log
Violation: The differential pressure values for the water misting system's reduced pressure zone assemblies (RPZ) were not listed in the testable cross connection -control log. The inspector and staff noted that this type of RPZ has a different valve testing protocol. The test does not list a differential pressure value, but this value can be derived by calculating actual gate pressures and comparing them to the test value. The protocols state that the differential pressure must be no more than 2 pressure per square inch (psi) greater than the actual gate pressure. Staff and the inspector added a comment section explaining the differential pressure procedure and the testing kit's standardized psi value for reference.
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.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Incinerator Room
Violation: The handwashing sink's potable water lines were not striped, blue/green/blue, or blue for potable water.
Recommendation: Stripe or paint potable water lines either in accordance with ISO 14726 (blue/green/blue) or blue only. Ensure no other lines have the above color designations. Stripe or paint these lines at 5 meters (15 feet) intervals and on each side of partitions, decks, and bulkheads, except where decor would be marred by such markings, including potable water supply lines in technical lockers.
Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Engine Room - Dedicated Laundry Supply Line
Violation: The dedicated laundry line was striped, blue/grey/blue after the reduced pressure zone assembly (RPZ) assembly.
Recommendation: Do not stripe or paint potable water lines after reduced pressure assemblies as potable water.
Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Engine Room - Evaporator #1 and #2
Violation: Dedicated technical water lines not directed to the potable water system were striped, blue/gray/blue.
Recommendation: Stripe or paint distillate and permeate lines directed to the potable water system in accordance with ISO 14726 (blue/gray/blue). Ensure no other lines have the above color designations. Stripe or paint these lines at 5 meters (15 feet) intervals and on each side of partitions, decks, and bulkheads, except where decor would be marred by such markings, including potable water supply lines in technical lockers.

Item No.: 10
Site: Recreational Water Facilities-Deck 7 - Main Pool
Violation: The flotation devices were not located in a prominent location that was visible from the full perimeter of the pool. Additionally, the line attached to the flotation device could not be unraveled and prohibited proper use.
Recommendation: Provide a rescue or shepherd?s hook and an approved flotation device at a prominent location (visible from the full perimeter of the pool) at each RWF that has a depth of 1 meter (3 feet) or greater. Mount these devices in a manner that allows for easy access during an emergency. Ensure the pole of the rescue or shepherd?s hook is long enough to reach the center of the deepest portion of the pool from the side plus 2 feet. Ensure it is a light, strong, nontelescoping material with rounded, nonsharp ends.
Item No.: 17
Site: Galley-Deck 1 Manfredi's Cooling Logs
Violation: Two entries for grilled eggplant and white navy beans on the 17 August 2024 cooling logs did not document final temperatures after cooling of 41F or below. The Chef who cooked and cooled the items was present and confirmed that he did measure temperatures below 41F. He explained that the original cooling log became extremely soiled, and the entries were transposed onto a new cooling log. He further explained that in that process there must have been a clerical transposition error. The log was signed off by a supervisor.
Recommendation: Ensure logs documenting cooked potentially hazardous food cooling temperatures and times from the starting points designated in 7.3.5.2.1 through the control points at 2 and 6 hours are maintained onboard the vessel for a period of 30 days from the date the food was placed in the cooling process. Ensure logs documenting cooling of potentially hazardous foods prepared from ingredients at ambient temperatures, with the start time to the time when 5C (41 F) is reached are also maintained for a period of 30 days, beginning with the day of preparation.
Item No.: 20
Site: Galley-Deck 1 Cold Pantry
Violation: The internal pot of the previously cleaned rice cooker was heavily scored. Corrective action began immediately.
Recommendation: Materials used in the construction of multiuse utensils and food contact surfaces of equipment must be: (1) durable, corrosion resistant, and nonabsorbent; (2) sufficient in weight and thickness to withstand repeated warewashing; (3) finished to have a smooth, easily cleanable surface; and (4) resistant to pitting, chipping, crazing, scratching, scoring, distortion and decomposition. Design and construct food contact surfaces of equipment and utensils to be durable and to retain their characteristic qualities under normal use conditions. Ensure multiuse food-contact surfaces are: (1) Smooth; (2) Free of breaks, open seams greater than 0.8 mm (1/32 inch), cracks, chips, inclusions, pits, and similar imperfections; (3) Free of sharp internal angles, corners, and crevices; (4) Finished to have smooth welds and joints;
Item No.: 21
Site: Galley-Chef's Table
