Sanitation inspection of cruise ships. To minimize the potential for gastrointestinal disease outbreaks, all passenger cruise ships arriving at U.S. ports are subject to unannounced sanitation inspections. Ships are rated on a 100-point scale by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A score of 86 or higher indicates that the ship is providing an accepted standard of sanitation. The latest (as of May 2006) sanitation scores for 169 cruise ships are saved in the SHIPSANIT file. The first five and last five observations in the data set are listed in the following table:
SHIPSANIT (Selected observations)

Adventure of the Seas | 95 |
Albatross | 96 |
Amsterdam | 98 |
