About Cruise Ship Inspection History
An independent, open research platform providing transparent access to official United States government cruise ship sanitation inspection scores and outbreak histories.
Mission and Public Health Transparency
Cruise Ship Inspection History compiles and structures public domain records published by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP). Our goal is to make historical inspection findings, itemized deficiency citations, cruise line corrective actions, and outbreak logs accessible and searchable for travelers, researchers, and maritime industry professionals.
Editorial and Data Integrity Standards
- Zero Speculation: We copy and link official CDC reports as published. We do not generate synthetic ratings or safety rankings.
- Unmodified Corrective Statements: Cruise line corrective action statements are quoted directly or linked without editorial interpretation.
- Historical Traceability: Every vessel record tracks complete corporate ownership changes and historical names linked by permanent IMO numbers.
- No Em Dashes: In compliance with strict engineering style guidelines, all copy, data feeds, and metadata avoid em dash punctuation.
