Cabins and public areas continue to come together and now the galley is really beginning to take shape. The galley and all food storage and food prep areas have been designed to United States Public Health (USPH) standards, so in a couple of weeks inspectors from the CDC Vessel Sanitation Program will go to the vessel to inspect the equipment and the installation.
