Galley-

Condensate had collected on the bulkhead and exhaust hood filters behind and above the two tilting pans. Water was boiling in the pans and a significant amount of steam occurred as a result. The lids of the pans were closed and condensate was wiped off.

A crew worker with a pronounced mustache was handling clean plates without a beard restraint.

Galley-Cabanas Pot Wash

The wash compartment of the 3-compartment sink did not have detergent in the water. Staff were actively washing pots in the 3-compartment sink at the time of the inspection.

Galley-Remy

A six-inch hotel pan of veal ragu was stored in the walk-in refrigerator with an internal temperature of 50°F. The veal ragu was cooked and cooled on 9 May. The corresponding cooling log showed the veal product was cooled properly. The veal ragu was discarded.

Buffet-Cabana Ice Cream Stations

There were no sneeze guards for the dipper wells which were less than 1 meter (40 inches) from the passengers. This finding was listed on the previous VSP inspection report. Staff provided documentation indicating protective covers for the dipper wells had been ordered and were set to arrive by the end of May 2014.

Galley-Deck 2 - Enchanted Garden Galley (Port Beverage Station)

A small amount of mold was noted on the ice machine's plastic framing near the upper edge of where the deflector shield attached on both the left and right ice production units.

The ice production units and the storage bin were cleaned.

Preparation Room-Deck A

The fan guards that were located above the items placed into the proofer were soiled with wet dust. The food was removed and the fan guards were cleaned.

Other-Deck 2 - Bell Box

The conveyor dishwash machine was out of order which created a large backlog of dishes to be washed. The dirty landing table was completely full of soiled dishes and the trolleys of dirty dishes filled the dishwashing area between the prewash stations and the dish machine. This condition impacted the proper function of this dishwashing operation. Ship staff explained that the plan was to move most of the soiled items to another galley's dishwashing area.

Other-Deck 2 - Bell Box

The flat grill's grease collection pan compartment's top was soiled with a small amount of grease residue after it had been cleaned.

Recreational Water Facilities-Records

The electronic data logging system used by the staff to monitor the water quality of the RWFs lost its data several times during past weeks. Records showed that when the power was lost for any reason, data like chlorine concentration and pH levels were lost from that date to the last date the data was saved. Staff explained that data is saved once a month at the end of the month. Data was missing for: (1) Mickey Pool 1-28 March and 1-9 May, (2) Quiet Spa 1-9 May, (3) Family Spa 1-9 May, (4) Quiet Pool 1-9 May. This was a known issue that the cruise line was trying to correct. During the inspection, staff presented the inspector with RWF data logged through the Val Marine system for those periods. Even though their official system was losing data the ship was able to document water quality data from this second system.

Recreational Water Facilities-Flow Meters

Six whirlpools had no flow meters, and as a result the staff was not monitoring the flow rates. These RWFs were the two Senses Rainforest whirlpools, the two Senses Villa whirlpools, and the Walt and Roy suite whirlpools.

Recreational Water Facilities-Turnover Rates and Bather Loads

The turnover rates and bather loads for six whirlpools were not calculated with actual flow rates because the RWFs had no flow meters. These RWFs were the two Senses Rainforest whirlpools, the two Senses Villa whirlpools, and the Walt and Roy suite whirlpools.

Recreational Water Facilities-Quiet Cove Pool

The free chlorine concentration was consistently above the maximum allowed of 5 ppm. Levels were consistently above 10 ppm when measured several times from different parts of the pool by the crew member and the inspector. Both test kits could not measure above 10 ppm and the actual concentration of chlorine was unknown. The facility was immediately closed.

Recreational Water Facilities-Nemo's Reef

The free chlorine concentration was below the minimum allowed of 3.0 ppm (2.01 ppm and 2.60 ppm) when measured more than once from different parts of the interactive RWF by the crew member and the inspector. The facility was immediately closed.

Recreational Water Facilities-Aqua Duck

The free chlorine concentration was below the minimum allowed of 2.0 ppm (1.78 ppm, 0.98 ppm, 1.04 ppm, 1.30 ppm ) when measured more than once from different parts of the interactive RWF by the crew member and the inspector. The facility was immediately closed.

Recreational Water Facilities-Senses Rainforest Whirlpools

The free chlorine concentration was below the minimum allowed of 3.0 ppm (0.93 ppm and 0.90 ppm) at the aft whirlpool and consistently above the maximum allowed of 10 ppm at the forward whirlpool when measured more than once from different parts of the RWFs by the crew member and the inspector. Both test kits could not measure above 10 ppm and the actual concentration of chlorine was unknown. The facilities were immediately closed.

Recreational Water Facilities-Swimming Pool Drains

The letter shown to the inspector from Disney's registered design professional indicating ASME A112.19.8-2007 compliance for the shipyard constructed gravity drain covers for the swimming pools, did not meet all the requirements as specified in section 6.7.1.2.2 of the 2011 VSP Operations Manual. The letter was missing the specifications and dimensions of the drain cover as well as the exact location of the RWFs for which they were approved. The letter was also unclear as it mentioned the main pool drains having suction drains, but according to staff these were gravity drains.

Pantry-Deck 6 Fwd - Ice Machine

Medical-Acute Gastroenteritis (AGE) Surveillance Log

For the last 5 cruises, more than 30 cases were classified as non-reportable cases when they reported symptoms that were above normal for those individuals and met the definition of a reportable case. The posted AGE case definition explained by the medical staff did not consider the number of diarrhea episodes that were above normal to certain individuals. The electronic quality management system of the ship had a different AGE case definition that was consistent with section 4.1.1.1.1 of the 2011 VSP operations Manual. The medical staff was unaware of the definition change and as a result a number of cases were not reported.

Medical-Acute Gastroenteritis (AGE) Reporting

A 4-hour update report did not contain a cumulative total count of the reported crew and passengers during the entire cruise, including the additional cases. For the 23-30 November voyage, a 24-hour report was submitted on 29 November at 12:58 am with 35 passenger and 17 crew reportable cases and a subsequent 4-hour report was submitted at 7:31 pm with 31 passenger and 9 crew reportable cases.

There were three slotted fasteners in the food splash zones of each of the espresso machines. There were three of these machines on the ship.

Potable Water-Far Point Records

The system uses an electronic data logging system and an analog system to record the far point free chlorine residual. The analog circular charts were missing four daily recording dates for the 1/15-16 back to 1/11-12. The backup automatic digital system had the proper dates and residual levels that were eventually attached when this discrepancy was noted. Two charts during this period of time did not contain the required initials, only the engineer's position stamp. It should also be noted that the undated charts were stamped and initialed. A review of the months of records preceding this time frame showed compliance with these record keeping details.

Buffet-Deck 11 Cabana

The time control plans for the starboard and port buffet lines were not posted at or near the food outlets. Also, a few food items were prepared in the Enchantment galley then placed on time control before being transported to the Cabana, such as roast, but the food flow for these items were not on the time control plan.

Galley-Deck 11 Cabana

Buffet-Deck 11 Starboard and Port 24 Hour Coffee Stations

The coving at the deck/counter juncture of the beverage stations had a few holes in some areas and was not installed properly making it ineffective.

Galley-Deck 11 Flo's Galley
