Most of the over 200 operating cruise liners that were checked by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the United States received a passing score of at least 86 points out of a possible 100 (for sanitary indicators). But for various reasons, including improperly stored foods and the presence of flies in food and drink areas, some of them received unsatisfactory ratings.
