CDC 2026 Sanitation Scores: Some Cruise Ships Flunk, Others Hit 100
CDC Vessel Sanitation Program 2026 data show some cruise ships scoring in the 80s (e.g., Norwegian Dawn 84; Carnival Breeze, Kydon, National Geographic Sea Lion 86; Sun Princess, MSC Meraviglia, Amadea 89) while 42 ships earned perfect 100—examples include Icon of the Seas, Carnival Celebration, Celebrity Apex, Disney Dream, Norwegian Viva and Queen Elizabeth; scores are time‑specific and reflect cleanliness at inspection, not an overall safety verdict.
