Today, I work on a cruise ship, and I just learned that we have a morgue on board. How did I learn that? It's right next to the crew laundry room, and I opened the wrong door. It was occupied. FML

To the people asking why there's a morgue. A cruise is in the middle of the sea. If someone dies suddenly, what are they going to do with the body until they get back to port? It's sensible to have one!

I worked on a cruise line for 2 years. All cruise ships by maritime law require they have a working morgue due to the fact that when things happen onboard you can't just remove the body it had to be preserved

All cruise ships have morgues and jails. Just like airplanes carry bodies as cargo

All cruise ships have morgues on them. If an elderly person had a heart attack perhaps? I went on a cruise when I was a kid where a gentleman was murdered by his wife. They needed the morgue untill they could get the body off the ship

It is also common for bodies to be transported in the cargo area of passenger airlines, how else do they transport them over a distance? They probably have more room and better meal service than coach.

A couple of dead beats on board?

Why does this surprise you? What did you expect them to do if something happens in the middle of the ocean? Just throw the body overboard?

I worked for cruises before. They tell you that in training. You need to pay attention more. It's also pretty common sense since it's in the middle of nowhere and you have elderly guest.
