LetItSnow Posted October 17 #1 Share Posted October 17 (edited) Tony at the YouTube channel La Lido Loca made a report of the dirtiest ships among cruise lines based on CDC data. Thankfully, HAL does not appear on that list of the dirtiest. I looked at the CDC website and our ships score no lower than 96 out of 100. Here is how they score: Zuiderdam 100 Amsterdam 99 Eurodam 99 Oosterdam 99 Statendam 99 Rotterdam 98 Koningsdam 98 Zaandam 98 Volendam 97 Westerdam 97 Noordam 96 La Lido Loca channel: Edited October 17 by LetItSnow Sort the list of ships by score 8 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare QuattroRomeo Posted October 18 #3 Share Posted October 18 The HAL scores are terrific. Not surprised though- staff are always cleaning something when we walk around the ship! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petronillus Posted October 18 #5 Share Posted October 18 The CDC website to which OP links shows that the ratings are based on a 100-point scale where 100 is the cleanest. By the CDC's standards score of 86 is minimally satisfactory. That being the case, the operations managers deserve a huge show of appreciation. Yes, we do observe at all hours of the night the efforts the crew puts in to keep HAL's vessels spic and span and shipshape. What, I think, is all the more gratifying is how, I'm sure, the CDC inspections delve well below the surface to examine conditions that are not readily visible or perhaps not at all visible to the naked eye. I for one am much reassured. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare puppycanducruise Posted October 18 #6 Share Posted October 18 Thanks for the info. Great to see HAL is doing so well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted October 18 #7 Share Posted October 18 Haven't seen this topic in awhile. Previous discussions have detailed the extremely complicated inspection process, and the details that can cost a ship points. Interesting to see it come up again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted October 18 #8 Share Posted October 18 HAL has always taken cleaning seriously. I've seen workers scrubbing surfaces that looked perfectly clean to begin with. I wish I could take them home to do my house! 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen workers scrubbing surfaces that looked perfectly clean to begin with. I wish I could take them home to do my house! We stayed right near the elevator on Zuiderdam, and so walked by the same one repeatedly. One day, I saw someone spend nearly the entire day engaged in a multistep elevator door polishing routine, including multiple different power tools. I don't know that I've ever seen anything so thoroughly cleaned and buffed in my life. And as you said, it looked fine before all that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted Monday at 01:38 PM #12 Share Posted Monday at 01:38 PM (edited) Yes, nice that HAL scores so high; but so do the vast majority of other cruise lines. If you click the link, you will find cruise lines that actually score higher (on average) than HAL. It's worthy to note that HAL is far from the only line with high scores. If you are cruising, the odds are you are cruising on a ship ranked highly by the CDC. Edited Monday at 01:39 PM by BermudaBound2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
