General comments1 finding
Item *Provisions
Trucks unloaded provision pallets on the pier before the ship's arrival. It was raining in the morning and packaging of food got wet. Ship staff and crew did a great effort to bring food onboard as soon as possible, discarded food that seemed affected, and transferred food from damaged boxes to plastic containers. It is recommended that the cruise line connect with their providers and ensure that provisions are not unloaded from trucks if the ship is not ready to accept them and assist protecting provisions from rain.
Housekeeping1 finding
Item 41Hypochlorous Acid Disinfectant
Documentation was not available to indicate the hypochlorous acid being used as the ship's disinfectant was effective against human norovirus or an acceptable surrogate.

The ship's Outbreak Prevention and Response Plan (OPRP) instructed for a 100ppm HOCL concentration for >60 seconds for disinfecting surfaces, however, there was no documentation that this time and concentration was effective.
