Margaritaville at Sea Ships Earn Perfect CDC Inspection Scores

Both Margaritaville at Sea ships, 1,680-passenger Paradise and 2,114-passenger Islander, earned perfect scores of 100 on their most recent inspections by the U.S. Public Health Service, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Vessel Sanitation Program.

The unannounced inspections evaluate hundreds of public health standards, including food safety, potable water systems, sanitation controls and illness prevention. A perfect score reflects full compliance across all areas reviewed.

For Margaritaville at Sea, the perfect scores “reflect the operating standards and accountability systems the company continues to strengthen across its organization,” according to company officials.

“These inspections are a rigorous test of consistency and execution,” said Anthony Stice, senior vice president of hotel operations for Margaritaville at Sea. “Our guests expect a relaxed and seamless experience. That only happens when our teams deliver at a high level behind the scenes every day. Achieving perfect scores on both ships is a strong validation of the culture and operational discipline we are building.”

For travel advisors and trade partners, the achievement reinforces confidence in the company’s health and operational standards as the brand continues to evolve.

The perfect scores come as Margaritaville at Sea prepares for continued growth, including the addition of 3,450-passenger Beachcomber in January 2027.
