Answer 3

They do indeed have a morgue on board as well as a staff of doctors and nurses. Because a lot of cruises are taken by the elderly, it is not uncommon for someone to die. I, myself have heard of it at least 2 times and I have been on only 8 cruises thus far. I would bet it happens on many cruises.
