Norwegian Breakaway scored 84 points on its latest US Public Health inspection, which sounds good until you realize it takes a score of at least 86 to pass. The semiannual surprise inspection was conducted on March 10 at New Orleans during a turnaround between two seven-night cruises.
The ship consistently scores in the mid-to-upper 90's and only three times has it slid a point or two below 90.
The complete story appeared in the March 18 edition of Cruise News Daily.
