Item No.: 08
Site: Galley-Deck 4 Warewash
Violation: The overhead sprayer nearest to the hood-type glasswash machine had a backflow prevention device that was continuously leaking. Remediation began immediately.
Recommendation: Maintain backflow prevention devices in good repair.
Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Evaporator
Violation: The air gap below the relief vent discharge pipe was not twice the diameter of the delivery line nor was it directly below the vent.
Recommendation: Ensure air gaps are at least twice the diameter of the delivery fixture opening and a minimum of 25 millimeters (1 inch).
Item No.: 08
Site: Bar-Starbucks
Violation: Water pooled in the technical compartment under the coffee machine (to the left of undercounter refrigerator 2). The water appeared to come from the backflow prevention device. Maintenance previously added new coving to the base of the compartment, but water still pooled in the compartment and did not completely drain.
Recommendation: Maintain backflow prevention devices in good repair.
Item No.: 15
Site: Provisions-Deck 2 Dry Canned Storage
Violation: One can of sliced beets was dented along the top seam. It was immediately removed and discarded.
Recommendation: Ensure food packages are in good condition and protect the integrity of the contents so that the food is not exposed to adulteration or potential contaminants. Ensure canned goods with dents on end or side seams are not used.
Item No.: 20
Site: Galley-Deck 5 Soup Station
Violation: Three soup stock pots were out of service awaiting repairs to their shared steam pipe. The work order was dated 21 April 2022, but the work was not expected to be completed until drydock, which is tentatively scheduled for December 2023. The crew members adjusted operations to make stock using two of their five soup kettles, which are lower capacity.
Recommendation: Food contact equipment must be maintained in good repair and proper adjustment.
Item No.: 21
Site: Bar-Atrium Bar
Violation: Undercounter refrigerator 2 had condensate build up between the two doors. The crew called maintenance to replace the gasket seal.
Recommendation: Ensure nonfood contact equipment is maintained in good repair and proper adjustment. Equipment components such as doors, seals, hinges, fasteners, and kick plates are kept intact, tight, and adjusted in accordance with manufacturer's specifications.
Item No.: 22
Site: Galley-Deck 5 Palace Warewashing
Violation: The conveyor flight-type dishwash machine had a weak final sanitizing rinse spray pattern. Staff took the dishwash machine out of service and called a technician. The technician replaced a pinched pipe and a strong spray pattern was restored before the end of the inspection.
Recommendation: Ensure the flow pressure of the fresh hot water sanitizing rinse in a warewashing machine is not less than 34.5 kilopascals (5 pounds per square inch or 0.34 bars) or more than 207 kilopascals (30 pounds per square inch or 2.07 bars) as measured in the water line immediately downstream or upstream from the fresh hot water sanitizing rinse control valve.
Item No.: 24
Site: Galley-Deck 11 Warewashing
Violation: The conveyor flight-type dishwash machine utensil surface final sanitizing rinse temperature was below 160F as measured by both the crew member and inspector. The dishwash machine was taken out of service and a technician was called. The machine was adjusted so the utensil surface final sanitizing rinse temperature was above 160F. The machine was back in operation before the inspector left the area.
Recommendation: In a mechanical operation, ensure the utensil surface temperature is not less than 71C (160F) as measured by an irreversible registering temperature indicator.
Item No.: 26
Site: Galley-Deck 5 Crossings
Violation: The bulk milk dispenser was soiled near the nozzle. The dispenser was empty, had previously been cleaned and sanitized, and the area was not in operation. Remediation began immediately and was completed before the inspector left the area.
Recommendation: Ensure food contact surfaces of equipment and utensils are clean to sight and touch.
Item No.: 26
Site: Galley-Deck 5 Palace
Violation: The ice machine nearest to the Palace Dining Room dishwash was soiled on the interior of the plastic cover over the ice making tray. The inspector used an alcohol wipe on the surface and it became soiled with dark debris. The ice machine was taken out of service, cleaned, and sanitized before the end of the inspection.
Recommendation: Ensure food contact surfaces of equipment and utensils are clean to sight and touch.
Item No.: 27
Site: Bar-Top Siders
Violation: Undercounter refrigerator 4, 5, and 6 had gasket seals with dirt build-up in the creases. The crew quickly removed and replaced the gasket seals.
Recommendation: Ensure nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment are kept free of an accumulation of dust, dirt, food residue, and other debris.
Item No.: 33
Site: Bar-Starbucks
Violation: Water pooled in the technical compartment under the coffee machine (to the left of undercounter refrigerator 2). The water appeared to come from the backflow prevention device. Maintenance previously added new coving to the base of the compartment, but water still pooled in the compartment and did not completely drain.
Recommendation: Ensure decks, bulkheads, deckheads, and attached equipment in food preparation, warewashing, pantries, and storage areas are cleaned as often as necessary.
Item No.: 39
Site: Galley-Deck 11 The Great Outdoors
Violation: One small, live fly was next to the soda dispenser technical cabinet. The pest management technician was immediately called.
