Have you ever had free ice-cream on a cruise?

That sounds like a ton of urban legend. 10 dead bodies at once? Free ice cream?

What crap, most of the ship have ice cream machines by the pool area.  Free ice cream in the MDR.

Absolute rubbish.  The code "rising star" is used by some cruise lines, but not all.  Many don't have a code for this at all, it is just an extension of a medical emergency.  As for needing space after the morgue "fills up", how many people do they think die on cruises?  Are they just dropping like flies?  Besides, the ship is required to land any bodies at the first jurisdiction (port) it reaches, for coroner's inquest, so unless the ship is doing a trans-Pacific cruise, they would be in port too often to stack up the bodies.  Further, you don't put a body in a freezer, that can negate any forensic evidence that the body has as to cause of death.  So, an ice cream freezer would not be used to store an extra body.  There was a case recently, where a woman sued a cruise line because they stored her husband's body in a vegetable room (cooler) because the morgue was inoperable.  Even there, they knew not to freeze the body.

 

Gotta love a journalist who doesn't even make an attempt to fact check a story.
