    Cruise Ship's Corrective Action Statement

Item No.: 02
Site: Medical-
Violation: The sample collection containers for bacterial specimens were expired. The vessel had an invoice for new containers.
Recommendation: Ensure that the specimen containers for bacterial samples are not expired.
Item No.: 03
Site: Potable Water-Production Halogenation
Violation: There were two record types for the reverse osmosis production system halogenation. One was an electronic form with readings recorded every 4 hours. According to the staff, these readings came from the analyzer. The other was the analyzer charts. There were several dates and times where the two records did not match. In addition, there were several periods where the halogenation was below 2 ppm for several hours. This is a repeat violation.
Recommendation: Ensure that potable water is continuously halogenated to at least 2.0 mg/L (ppm) free residual halogen at the time of bunkering or production with an automatic halogenation device that is controlled by a flow meter.
Item No.: 06
Site: Potable Water-Production Halogenation
Violation: There were several dates where the calibration check was not recorded.
Recommendation: Ensure that halogen analyzer-chart recorders used in lieu of manual tests and logs are calibrated at the beginning of bunkering or production, and the calibration is recorded on the chart or in a log book.
Item No.: 06
Site: Potable Water-Far Point
Violation: The halogen analyzer chart recorder was offline for maintenance for 12 hours on November 24 and 6 hours on November 26. There were no manual halogen tests recorded during these periods.
Recommendation: Ensure that manual readings are recorded on a chart or log, retained for at least 12 months, and are available to the VSP for review during inspections.
Item No.: 06
Site: Potable Water-Far Point
Violation: The halogen analyzer chart recorder was offline for maintenance for 12 hours on November 24 and 6 hours on November 26. There were no manual halogen tests recorded during these periods.
Recommendation: Ensure that the free residual halogen is measured by a manual test kit at the halogen analyzer at least every 4 hours in the event of equipment failure.
Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Hoses
Violation: There potable water hoses at the port and starboard bunker stations were not labeled "potable water only." This was corrected during the inspection.
Recommendation: Ensure that potable water hoses are labeled for use with the words "potable water only" in letters at least 13mm (0.5 inch) at each connecting end.
Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Filling Cap -- Starboard Bunker Station
Violation: The cap on the potable water filling line was not connected to the chain. This was corrected during the inspection.
Recommendation: Ensure that the potable water filling line has a screw cap or plug fastened by a non-corroding chain to an adjacent bulkhead or surface in such a manner that the cap or plug does not touch the deck when hanging free.
Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Production Halogenation Rercords
Violation: There were two record types for the reverse osmosis production system halogenation. One was an electronic form with readings recorded every 4 hours. According to the staff, these readings came from the analyzer. The other was the analyzer charts. There were several dates and times where the two records did not match. This is a repeat violation.
Recommendation: Ensure that accurate records of this monitoring are maintained aboard for 12 months and are available to the VSP for review during inspections.
Item No.: 08
Site: Pantry-Main Bar
Violation: There was a non-continuous pressure backflow prevention device on the hose at the bulkhead mounted faucet. There was a spray connection at the end of the hose.
Recommendation: Ensure that a continuous pressure-type backflow preventer is installed when a valve is located downstream from the backflow preventer.
Item No.: 10
Site: Swimming Pool-
Violation: There were a few dates since November 27, 2008 where the calibration check was not recorded.
Recommendation: Ensure that halogen analyzer-chart recorders used in lieu of manual tests and logs are calibrated daily, and that the calibration is recorded on the chart or in a log book.
Item No.: 10
Site: Whirlpool/Spa-
Violation: There were a few dates in November and December where the shock chlorination was not recorded.
Recommendation: Ensure that a written or electronic record of whirlpool spa shock halogenation (concentration and contact time) is maintained and available for review during inspections.
Item No.: 10
Site: Whirlpool/Spa-
Violation: There were a few dates in November and December where the shock chlorination was not recorded.
Recommendation: Ensure that the free residual halogen is increased to at least 10.0 mg/L (ppm) in whirlpool spas and circulated for at least 1 hour at the end of each day.
Item No.: 10
Site: Whirlpool/Spa-
Violation: There was no documentation that the water in the whirlpool was changed daily.
Recommendation: Ensure that the whirlpool spa water is changed daily.
Item No.: 22
Site: Galley-Main -- Dishwash
Violation: The temperature gauge for the final rinse indicated 160°F at the manifold, instead of the minimum 180°F. The plate surface was measured at 162°F, indicating that the final rinse temperature was sufficient, but the temperature gauge was not accurate.
Recommendation: Ensure that water temperature measuring devices: (1) That are scaled in Celsius or dually scaled in Celsius and Fahrenheit are designed to be accurate to ±1.5°C in the intended range of use. (2) That are scaled only in Fahrenheit are designed to be accurate to ±3°F in the intended range of use.
Item No.: 22
Site: Pantry-Pantry 5 - Topside Restaurant
Violation: There was no data plate on the hood-type dishwash machine.
Recommendation: Ensure that warewashing machines are provided with an easily accessible and readable data plate affixed to the machine by the manufacturer that indicates the machine's design and operating specifications including the: (1) Temperatures required for washing, rinsing, and sanitizing; (2) Pressure required for the fresh water sanitizing rinse; and (3) Conveyor speed for conveyor machines or cycle time for stationary rack machines.
Item No.: 27
Site: Pantry-Pantry 5 - Topside Restaurant
Violation: The hoses in the technical compartment under the cold top were soiled with a dry black material.
Recommendation: Ensure that nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment are kept free of an accumulation of dust, dirt, food residue, and other debris.
