  1. Why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  2. Kevin L is correct, there is a mortuary on most if not all cruise ships.  I worked on Carnival, P&O, Princess, Holland America and even a short stint on MyTravel so trust me on this answer...

    Each ship has an average of four mortuary positions (these are drawers that the deceased are kept in until arrival in the next port).  You can assume that each drawer will have one sleeve (bodybag) and probably one or two additional besides.  I don't imagine they would ask for a return of the bodybag when the deaceased is offloaded.

  3. Probably not too many, since cruise ships have WALK IN COOLERS in the huge kitchens they can use to keep their departed customers in until they can reach port... yeaup... right in there between the chicken and beef sirloins.

    Just hope that someone doesn't kick off when you are on your vacation cruise because NOBODY will be allowed to leave the ship until the Coast Guard finishes their investigation and the ship can't get port clearance until they have the approval of the Coasties.

    The same procedure applies if someone dies on an International flight... you will sit in that airplane until the investigation is completed and, even THEN, you will spend another few of your vacations hours IN QUARANTINE.

    Still think your question is funny?  Death on any international common carrier is taken VERY seriously.

  4. hey they might act all old and decrepid but you watch the feckers run for a fecking lift,if yours comes before theres,absolutely un b feckin leavable,they forget theyve got a zimmer or a stick,that my friend is talking from experience. some of the old twats that can hardly walk,and play on it,you see em fecking ballroom dancing a few hours later,and the library onboard is full of em,you know why...so they can rent a book and get up at 4 in the morning to go and throw it along with a towel on there favourite sun-lounger. they look old,they act old,but secretly there taking the pi55.

  5. Depends on the voyage.  Usually there are between 3 and 8 caskets.

    There is also usually onboard mortuary.

  6. Not that many as any Deaths on Board result in them heading for the nearest port

  7. How do you expect anyone to know that??

  8. What a morbid question.  Funny, though.

  9. Ring up & ask P&O or Cunard !

  10. man thats a pretty dark q
