A close contact of an AGE case was not followed up within 8 hours of the ill employee reporting to medical on 29 December 2025. Additionally, there was a clerical error on the ill crew member's 72-hour food and beverage questionnaire. The ill employee stated he ate dinner at the crew mess on 29 December 2025 at 2230. Given the report time to medical (1730) and that the employee was in isolation at 2230, this entry by the food employee was determined to be an error.

A food employee experienced onset of AGE symptoms on 30 September 2025 at 2200 while at work; however, the employee continued working and did not report to medical until 1 October at 0050. Appropriate corrective actions were taken.

Two water lines, striped blue, fed into the balcony washing system. Initially, crew members had difficulty explaining the source of the water and the direction of flow for the system. A reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assembly (RP) was present on one potable water line, but not on the other. Later, the crew determined that the second line was also a potable water line and that the RP was located in the engine room; however, the RP was not listed on the cross-connection control log, and no test results were available. The crew indicated that this device was added during the recent dry dock, when the system was modified to be supplied only with potable water and the technical water supply was disconnected.
