From the article at CruiseCritic.com…“The CDC inspections are unannounced and occur twice a year on all ships that sail in or out of a U.S. port. Ships must earn a score of 86 or higher to pass.
Holland America and Carnival received the most perfect scores, with six ships on both lines getting 100. On Holland America, the other ships included Veendam, Noordam, Statendam, Ryndam (no longer with the fleet) and Nieuw Amsterdam.
Conversely, three cruise ships failed the inspection in 2015, including Royal Caribbean’s Adventure of the Seas, Celebration Cruise Line’s Grand Celebration and Silversea’s Silver Shadow.”
