Death on the Magic?

[HeidiHo]

Someone has passed away on 2 of my last 3 cruises and on our last cruise someone had a heart attack and had to be air lifted off the ship but as far as I know he survived.

This thread is like wow...:eek: Is this the new normal?

Wait. Deaths are a common occurrence on cruise ships?? I know it's bound to happen occasionally, because death happens everywhere, but just how "common" is it? yikes.

 

How many of you have been on a cruise where someone passed away? I don't think I ever have... and rumors travel fast, so I think I would have known. We always get wind of accidents/emergencies somehow.

 

So far I've been on 4 cruises that people have died and 3 where someone was helicoptered off the ship.

Please list your cruises a year in advance!

that theres an avg of 1 deaths per 7 day cruise, they even have a place to keep their bodies on ice

 

I think this is why they cut down on the ice buckets in the cabins. :)

KRAMER:The Andrea Doria collided with the Stockholm in dense fog 21 miles off the coast of Nantucket.

 

GEORGE: How do you know?

 

KRAMER: it's in my book - "Astonishing Tales of the Sea" 51 people died.

 

GEORGE: 51 people?! That's it?! I thought it was, like, a thousand!

 

KRAMER: There were 1,650 survivors.

 

GEORGE: That's no tragedy! How many people do you lose on a normal cruse? 30? 40?!

I have told my family that when I go I expect everyone to take a family cruise to the Caribbean, dump my ashed the first morning, then party the rest of the trip!

 

As long as it's not from an adjoining balcony to mine.

The second hand smoke I can handle but ashes...... :D

All of the dead ones were with HAL. The sick or injured helicopter ones were with Carnival.

I want the same except I want them to order a really good drink....pour my ashes in the drink, stir me up and dump me overboard...my last drink on my last cruise! I actually wouldn't mind being left in the glass in a corner on the balcony, but afraid the room steward would find me and dump me with the garbage! :confused:
