“MSC Cruises rigorously adheres to health protocols, and the results of this inspection do not reflect the brand’s high standards,” a spokesperson for the line said in an email. “We launched an internal investigation based on the inspector’s concerns and took immediate corrective actions.”
Ships that have failed an inspection are inspected again “within a reasonable time period,” Dr. Erik Svendsen, director of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice at the CDC's National Center for Environmental Health, said in an email. If ships fail because of an imminent risk to public health, the VSP may recommend they not sail, though MSC Seaside did not fail for that reason.
