Creator's Key Takeaways
There is a wellestablished policy for handling a death at sea on board a cruise ship.
Nearly all deaths are due to pre-existing medical conditions or an unexpected medical emergency.
The first thing to know is that modern cruise ships have a well equipped hospital and a full team of doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals to look after you when you're on board.
Cruise ships are required to carry a supply of body bags for this process to allow for the respectful movement of the deceased person through the ship.
