Base fares per person per night; taxes, port fees, gratuities and promotions not included. Fit scores are from our ship profiles; CDC scores are the CDC's, with their inspection dates.
Every ship that calls at a U.S. port is inspected unannounced by the CDC's Vessel Sanitation Program and scored out of 100; the CDC calls 86 and above passing. The scores and the itemized reports are public. This hub ranks ships by their most recent score, newest inspection first, and links each ship's page where today's fare sits next to the number. We don't grade ships; the CDC does. We read the report so you don't have to.
