Potable Water-Cross-Connection Control Program

The backflow prevention devices on the passenger and crew cabin showers and the passenger and crew cabin toilets were not on the cross-connection control program. There was a sentence on the first page of the program stating that all of these areas were protected by ORAS backflow prevention devices. However, there was no information about the specific decks or cabins where these devices were located, the quantity, or the frequency of inspection.

DO NOT USE (whirlpool/spa)-Anti-Entrapment Drain Covers

The anti-entrapment drain covers in the port and starboard whirlpool spas had been modified. It appeared that the covers did not fit the existing drains, so additional holes had been drilled for fasteners. The covers were not securely installed, and the cover in the starboard whirlpool was loose. According to the staff, a different type of anti-entrapment drain cover was on board the vessel, and this cover would fit the drains. The whirlpools were empty at the time of the inspection.
