Carnival Ships "Perfect" From Coast-to-Coast

For the first time ever, two Carnival Cruise Lines ships recently earned perfect scores of 100 during United States Public Health (U.S.P.H.) inspections on the same day.

Carnival Glory and Carnival Paradise each earned perfect marks during inspections held last week in New York, New York and Long Beach, California, respectively.

Both vessels received the highest scores possible on all 42 items that comprise the U.S.P.H.’s comprehensive Vessel Sanitation Program checklist. The unannounced inspections, which are conducted twice a year and required for any cruise ship with an international itinerary calling at a U.S. port, evaluate vessels in a wide variety of areas, including adherence to proper food handling, preparation and storage procedures, and overall galley cleanliness. Ships’ potable water supplies used in spas and pools are evaluated, as well.

In addition, for the second consecutive week, the Carnival Glory earned a perfect 100 score on a shipboard health inspection, this time from Health Canada during an inspection in Halifax this week. The 2,974-passenger vessel received perfect marks on all items that comprise Health Canada’s vessel sanitation program checklist. The unannounced inspections, which are required for any cruise ship with an international itinerary calling at a Canadian port, evaluate vessels in a wide variety of areas, including adherence to proper food handling, preparation and storage procedures, and overall galley cleanliness. Ships’ potable water supplies used in spas and pools are evaluated, as well.

Carnival Glory is currently operating a schedule of 4- to 7-day Canada/New England cruises from New York, while 2,052-passenger Carnival Paradise is offering 3- and 4-day Baja cruises from Long Beach.
