In a medical emergency, call local emergency services immediately (911 in the US).

CDC Vessel Sanitation Program Scores

CDC Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP) inspection scores are sourced from publicly available CDC data and are presented for informational purposes only. Scores reflect conditions observed at the time of inspection only. Ship sanitation conditions may have changed since the most recent inspection. Always check the official CDC VSP website (cdc.gov/vessel-sanitation) for the most current inspection results. A high CDC score does not guarantee you will not become ill. Practice good personal hygiene regardless of ship scores.
