The CDC's Vessel Sanitation Program highlights that when cruise ships are unsanitary, passengers' disease risk increases, leading to potentially deadly outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis.
The 'Hanseatic Inspiration' scored the lowest with 62, citing multiple sanitation violations such as a beer tap with thick brown residue and a dead, maggot-filled bird.
Among the ten ships deemed unsatisfactory, the CDC reports a concerning trend in outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis, with 10 cases reported so far this year.
Cruise ships can facilitate the spread of various diseases due to packed conditions and unsanitary practices, with health inspections critical in ensuring traveler safety.
