Looked back through 1/1/2015 and found:
RCI failed 3 times (15, 16, 19)
Aida failed 1 time (16)
Carnival failed 8 times (16, 18, 19, 5 times in 17)
Princess failed 2 times (16, 20)
Bahamas Paradise failed 4 times (15, 17, 18, 19)
Feries Del Caribe failed 3 times (18, 2 times in 17)
Norwegian failed 2 times (17, 19)
Maritime Holdings Group (Ocean Dream) failed 2 times (17, 18)
P&O failed 1 time (16)
Oceana failed 3 times (18, 2 times in 17)
Princess failed 2 times (17, 20)
Un-Cruise failed 1 time (18)
Silversea failed 3 times (15, 18, 19)
Victory I Partners (Victory I) failed 1 time (17)
Considering fleet sizes, RCL would take a hefty lead as cleanest, but Carnival would not fare badly (These are the largest fleets). Princess (although owned by Carnival corporation) is managed seperately from Carnival, and also has a rather large fleet. I think I would be more worried about Oceana and Silversea.
