MAJOR PROBLEMS ON ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE SHIP
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses a recent CDC inspection report for the Symphony of the Seas, noting that the ship received a score of 86 out of 100. This rating is described as being just one point away from an unsatisfactory rating and is noted as being low for Royal Caribbean. The video highlights several specific sanitation and safety concerns identified during the unannounced inspection. These include a gastrointestinal outbreak in the kids club that was reportedly not handled or reported correctly, as well as issues with the dishwashing process where plates and utensils with food residue were being put out for service. The creator also details improper food storage, such as raw eggs being left on a shelf without temperature control and raw hamburger blood found on countertops. Additionally, the report mentioned a crew member with open wounds accessing an ice container. The creator concludes by noting that the ship has not yet submitted a resolution report detailing how these issues will be corrected, which raises concerns about whether the necessary improvements have been implemented.
