Not fit for a queen

Saturday, 28 Jun, 2011 0

Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 failed a sanitation inspection, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The report cited improper storage of food, pests and dirty pool areas, among other infractions.

The company acknowledged the failing grade and said the issues have been addressed.

“Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 received an uncharacteristically low score of 84 following her voluntary Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP) inspection in New York on June 10,” Cunard said in a statement. “

The statement added that on most previous inspections she has scored over 95, on three occasions achieving the maximum of 100.

The poor assessment resulted largely from one small area of the ship’s overall operation. All the issues raised in the report were immediately addressed and have now been corrected, the statement said.
