    Typically a cruise ship's morgue is two to four drawers.  If, in a rare occurrence, these were already full, there is no chance that the body would be stored in the cabin.  One of the ship's cold storage rooms would be emptied and used.  The reason the cabin was guarded is that the person died outside of a doctor's care, and therefore a coroner's inquest or investigation must be conducted under the laws of the flag state, just as when someone dies at home in the US.

     

    Yes, medevac happens when the benefit to the patient of getting to a hospital outweighs the risk to the patient, the ship, and the flight crew, based on the opinions of the ship's doctor, the Captain, and the USCG flight surgeon.  My suspicion is that this person's partner woke up to find the person had passed in their sleep, an occurrence that I've witnessed a few times on ships.

    Actually, if the morgue is full they will divert the ship to offload a body, I know this first hand we had to divert to Cozumel to do exactly that a few years back.  They will not put a body in any regular freezer.

     

  2. Just of the Vista from an 8 day, I was super disappointed. Carnival has missed the target, having only 2 pools available until 7pm when the Havana pool opens to the "public". Think about it, this ship holds 1300-1500 more than a Conquest class ship and has only 2 pools. Epic fail in my opinion. This ship also has 4 more bars than any other ships, but they do not staff anymore bar staff on the ship. One day on Lido there was only the Redfrog bar open with 2 bartenders......no bar waiters on the decks. Awful!! Back to the Dream class or Conquest class for me. This was my 24 cruise on Carnival. In addition the Vista does not have glass elevators in the atrium so it is a net loss of 2 elevators for a ship that holds 800-1,200 more than the Conquest or Dream class
