Disney Cruise Lines
Of the more than 200 active cruise ships the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has inspected, most received a passing grade: at least an 86 on a 100-point sanitation score.
A handful received a 100 on their most recent inspection.
Ships owned by Carnival Corp., Royal Caribbean Cruises, and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings made the list.
Most cruise ships are pretty clean, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which inspects ships to make sure they maintain proper sanitation.
Of the more than 200 active cruise ships the CDC has inspected, most received a passing grade: at least an 86 on a 100-point sanitation score. A handful received a 100 on their most recent inspection, indicating a level of cleanliness that would be difficult to top.
These are the 18 cruise ships that currently operate in the US market and received a perfect score during their most recent CDC inspection.
The Brilliance of the Seas, Celebrity Summit, Norwegian Gem, Noordam, Aidavita, Celebrity Eclipse, Costa Luminosa, Navigator of the Seas, Star Princess, and Regal Princess have been removed from the most recent version of this story, since all received scores below 100 in their most recent CDC inspections. The Celebrity Equinox, Celebrity Reflection, Enchantment of the Seas, Koningsdam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Norwegian Sky, Ruby Princess, and Viking Sea have been added to the story.
