Majestic Princess: Sanitation Record & Health Report

Let's get one thing straight: Majestic Princess is not new. She's been sailing since 2017, which in cruise years is basically "seasoned veteran," and Princess just sent her in for a refurb in 2025, presumably to remind everyone she's still got it. What she's got, as of her most recent CDC inspection on March 26, 2026, is a 99. That's the kind of score that makes you squint at your screen and wonder if someone bribed the inspector with really good Fettuccine Alfredo — except no, this is Princess Royal-class engineering doing exactly what it's supposed to do, which is not give anyone norovirus.

Here's the catch, and it's a real one: that 99 is her only inspection on file. One data point does not a trend make, so despite the flawless number, we're calling the trend exactly what it is — insufficient data. Same story on outbreaks: CDC's outbreak database is currently unreachable for this ship, so we're not going to stand here and tell you she's got a spotless outbreak record, because we genuinely don't know and won't pretend otherwise. What we can tell you is the food safety score sits at a perfect 100.0, earning her the "Spotless Galley" designation, which on a ship hauling 3,560 passengers and 1,350 crew across 144,216 gross tons is no small feat of logistics.

Who it's for: passengers who want a big, modern mega-ship experience — 18 decks, a 2025 refresh, Fincantieri Italian shipbuilding pedigree — with a hygiene inspection score that's currently topping the charts relative to the fleet's ~95 average. If clean galleys and crisp inspection paperwork are your idea of a vacation flex, book with confidence. Who should skip it: the data purists among you who want years of trend lines and outbreak history before committing your vacation days — right now Majestic Princess is an excellent single data point, not yet a proven track record, so if you need a longer receipt before you trust the number, give it a few more inspection cycles to build one out.
