A cutting board stored on the clean rack was heavily scored. Brown residue collected inside areas of recess. Crew initiated corrective action.

The top corners of time control trolleys 2A and 2B were heavily damaged and chipped, creating difficult-to-clean surfaces.

The 'low temperature' alarm light on the front-loading potwashing machine was covered with sealant, obstructing sight during periods of inadequate temperature.

The plastic housing on the two upper wash and final rinse arms was broken and chipped inside the double-rack hood-type dishwashing machine. Additionally, two wash nozzles were soiled with debris, creating an ineffective spray pattern. Crew initiated corrective action.

Two upper wash arms in the double rack hood-type dishwashing machine were loose. Additionally, three wash/final rinse nozzles were blocked with debris, preventing an effective spray pattern. Crew initiated corrective action.

Soiled food equipment was racked in a manner that prevented exposure to an unobstructed spray inside the hood-type potwashing machine. A small, plastic bin was racked beneath a larger plastic bin, preventing the spray from reaching all surfaces of the larger bin. Crew initiated corrective action.

Food-contact surfaces of the hot dog rollers were soiled with a small amount of grease. This area was not in service.

Brown residue accumulated inside recessed areas of a heavily scored cutting board. Crew initiated corrective action.

A plastic hose was attached to the atmospheric vent of the carbonator backflow prevention device for the deck mounted soda multi flow machine in a manner that prevented draining. Water collected inside this hose. Crew initiated corrective action.

The deck-mounted soda multi-flow machine was out of service for at least 2 months while awaiting repair. Crew identified a technician was onboard to repair the unit.

The white piece of plastic surrounding the gray ice chute for the counter-mounted ice bin was in disrepair, creating a difficult to clean surface. Black and brown residue accumulated inside the food splash zone surrounding the top of the ice bin. Crew initiated corrective action.

The deck-mounted soda multi flow machine was out of service for over 2 months but was excessively soiled with sugar and sticky residue on the food contact surfaces of the dispensing nozzle. Crew initiated corrective action.

Black and brown debris soiled the food splash zone surrounding the top of the counter-mounted ice bin. Crew initiated corrective action.

Brown syrup dripped down the mount of the out-of-service, deck-mounted soda multi-flow machine and collected on the deck. Crew initiated corrective action.

A plastic hose was attached to the atmospheric vent of the carbonator backflow prevention device for the deck mounted soda multi flow machine in a manner that prevented draining. Water collected inside this hose. Crew initiated corrective action.

Time/temperature control for safety (TCS) cooked rice, dal, bean stew, pasta, and Alfredo sauce were out for service in a time control unit; however, were not identified with a 4-hour discard label. The service period was greater than 4 hours. Crew initiated corrective action.

A small amount of black debris accumulated on food-contact surfaces inside the ice bin. Crew initiated corrective action.

The handwashing soap did not lather effectively for hand washing. Crew initiated corrective action.

Three flies flew in front of the deck-mounted soda multi-flow system.

Crew could not confirm that three hotel pans of chicken wings reached the full-cook temperature of 165°F. Crew confirmed these chicken wings were cooked to approximately 161°F through logs and discussion. Crew identified these wings were cooled and placed into cold holding prior to completing cooking immediately before service. Crew initiated corrective action.

Three hotel pans of partially cooked chicken wings were stored above raw salmon filets and raw ground beef patties. Crew confirmed these chicken wings were cooked to approximately 161°F through cooking logs and discussion but could not confirm they reached the full-cook temperature of 165°F. Raw salmon and raw ground beef patties require a lower cooking temperature for microorganism destruction. Crew initiated corrective action.

The handwashing soap did not lather effectively for hand washing. Crew initiated corrective action.

One fruit fly was in this area.

There were no effective barriers to protect the interior of the pantry from potential pest entry between the open deck of the bar and the corridor. Crew identified the fire door between the pantry and the open corridor remained open during service.

There was no effective air gap or backflow prevention device provided for the potable water filling line for the chemical tank. Crew initiated corrective action.

The bottom left screw was missing for the swimming pool’s portside antientrapment drain cover.

A previously cleaned and sanitized food service container had rough areas and a large gouge in the food-contact surface. This was removed and discarded.

The food-contact end of the metal ice scoop inside the ice machine was bent making the area difficult to clean.

Three circular penetrations were on the underside of the mixing head of the small right deck mounted mixer. Food soil was inside one of the penetrations. The unit was previously cleaned and sanitized.

The induction generator was out of service since 12 April 2023 due to electrical failure. A work order was placed. Estimated arrival for spare parts is 19 March 2024.

At the clean end the conveyor dishwash machine, a far-right upper final sanitizing rinse spray nozzle was producing an intermittent spray. Water pressure varied from full pressure to minimal pressure when the machine was in operation. Removing the spray arm, cleaning out the nozzle, and increasing the water pressure did not correct the issue. The technician replaced the nozzle which corrected the issue.

Three circular penetrations were on the underside of the mixing head of the small right deck mounted mixer. Food soil was inside one of the penetrations. The unit was previously cleaned and sanitized.

Grease residue was on the underside of the counter-mounted combination oven technical box.

A hot holding cabinet in active use was dripping grease from the lower edge of the door onto the cabinet and deck below. It appeared the door gasket was in poor condition.
