Majestic Princess: Sanitation Record & Health Report
ShipTea Verdict
Let's be clear: a perfect food safety score is not something you just stumble into. Majestic Princess walked into her most recent CDC inspection and dropped a 100 in the galley — a Spotless Galley designation — which means someone on that ship is genuinely obsessed with proper refrigeration temperatures, and honestly? Good for them. We love a ship that takes "don't give 3,000 passengers food poisoning" seriously as a core brand value. The overall CDC score of 93 is respectable — passing, obviously, but sitting just a hair below the fleet average of 95, which means she's doing well without quite being the overachiever she could be. Think solid B+ energy. Competent, trustworthy, not going to win valedictorian.
For a Royal-class Princess ship with a heavy focus on the Asian cruising market, Majestic Princess has built a reputation as one of the more thoughtfully kitted-out vessels in the fleet — and the inspection record backs that up. Her November 2025 inspection didn't surface anything alarming, and a clean galley score heading into the holiday season suggests the crew isn't coasting on past glory. No outbreak drama to report, no ominous footnotes in the CDC file. Just a ship quietly doing its job and doing it well, which — in this industry — is genuinely something worth noting.
Who it's for: Passengers who want a premium Princess experience without the white-knuckle anxiety of wondering whether the buffet is going to betray them. If food safety is high on your checklist and you like your ships polished and purpose-built, Majestic Princess delivers. Who should skip it: Anyone chasing a perfect CDC score — there are ships in this fleet scoring 96, 97, even higher. If you want the absolute gold standard, keep scrolling. But if 93 with a flawless kitchen sounds like a fine trade, you're going to be just fine.

How Is This Calculated?
The Food Safety Sub-Score extracts deductions from 13 food-specific CDC VSP inspection items (items 11-20 and 24-26) covering employee hygiene, temperature control, cross-contamination, food storage, and equipment sanitation. The maximum possible food deduction is 50 points. Score = 100 × (1 - food deductions / 50).
