Cruise ships must score 85 or lower on inspections to be considered inadequate by the CDC, with most ships in 2024 averaging a score of 95.
The CDC has reported 10 outbreaks on cruise ships in 2024 due to norovirus, with infections easily spreading through crowded conditions and contaminated surfaces.
Inspections by the CDC include checks on kitchens, hot tubs, and activity centers, where issues like vermin or improper food storage significantly impact scores.
Though most cruise ships scored around 95 in 2024, there are concerns for vessels like the Crystal Serenity and Carnival Elation, both scoring just 89.
