Creator's Key Takeaways
Carnival Breeze just got an 86 on a CBC sanitation inspection. Doesn't sound so bad, but it's passing barely.
The report listed um 36 deficiencies. 36. Not height at 15 maybe. No, 36.
A fly reportedly landed on the food at a passenger service station, and the food was not removed until the inspector intervened.
Two crew members with acute gastroenteritis symptoms kept working until the end of the ship before reporting to the medical center.

This week on Dockside Dish cruise news, Carnival Breeze received an 86/100 on an unannounced CDC sanitation inspection — the lowest possible passing score — and we’re breaking down what cruisers should know before they book, board, or head to the buffet. An 86 is still passing, but when a cruise ship inspection report includes 36 deficiencies tied to food safety, storage, crew health reporting, and even a fly-on-food incident, it becomes a warning light cruisers should know how to check. We’re also looking at two Carnival-related lawsuits. A former Carnival Magic guest alleges he suffered second-degree burns after walking barefoot across a hot Lido deck, and a Carnival Celebration guest alleges catastrophic injuries during a Pearl Island Beach Escape excursion booked through Carnival. These are active legal cases, and liability has not been decided. Then we’re heading to Norwegian’s Great Stirrup Cay, where the new Great Tides Waterpark now has an opening date and day passes — raising the bigger cruise question: how much of the private island experience is still included, and how much is becoming an add-on? Plus, in Quick Bites: • Margaritaville at Sea Beachcomber may be bringing tattoos to sea • Royal Caribbean reminds guests about cabin door decor rules • Seattle and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings extend their Alaska cruise partnership for the long haul This episode is for cruisers who love the ships, the food, the ports, and the pool deck — but also want to know what to check before they sail. So let’s dish: do you ever check CDC cruise ship inspection scores before booking, or did you not know those reports were public? And when you book a cruise-line-sold excursion, do you still research the third-party operator?
