timecop,

Thanks for passing on this information. It was very interesting. Of course, I checked all the ships I've been on and some I'm going to take here are the numbers in order of my cruises: 97, 95, 95, 98, 96, and 99

Future cruises are: 96, 95, and 100

There were some surprises. Some of the older ships rated higher than the new ones.

We've been checking CDC scores since our first cruise in 1998. However, you don't want to poke into this too much, since even ships with a 95 or higher rating have a few things wrong. (Read the reports on a ship with a high rating, and you'll see what we mean.) Basically, what the scores demonstrate is that the ship is at least making a stong effort to comply with sanitation laws.

Our next two ships and lates scores:

Millennium 12/02/05 98

Summit 2/26/06 94*<] 5 points taken off something about labeling on frozen product .

Because of the importance of the cruise industry to South Florida, they regularly print these scores in The (Miami) Herald and (Ft. lauderdale) Sun Sentinal.
