Recent data from the CDC reveals that several cruise ships received low sanitation scores during inspections this year, raising concerns for potential travelers. The Norwegian Dawn was the only ship to fail with a score of 84, while three vessels—Carnival Breeze, Kydon, and National Geographic Sea Lion—barely passed with scores of 86. It’s important for passengers to check a ship’s sanitation inspection score, as this reflects compliance with health standards and can impact their overall experience. Interestingly, the Carnival Breeze had previously scored a perfect 100 but dropped to an 86 in a later inspection. The CDC’s inspection scores serve as a valuable tool for those planning cruises, especially from ports like Galveston.
