Cruises are a great travel option. They provide an opportunity not only to relax, but also to go to the cinema, visit the pool and have fun. However, this type of tourism hides some nuances, and Ehrgess, with reference to a cruise ship worker, talks about them.

The woman noted that most people have no idea about the “dark side of life on board”. She added that it is a very hard job where six hours of sleep is considered a luxury..

The worker said that there is a morgue on board every ship. The number of bodies it can accommodate depends on the size of the vessel, but the average is between two and ten seats.

" Considering that 72% of passengers are over 60 years old, this makes sense. But when I find out that on average three people die every week on cruises, it just blows my mind,"

A cruise ship morgue is usually a stainless steel refrigerated chamber where bodies can be safely stored. In the event of a person's death, the body is stored in the morgue until it can be unloaded at the next major port or port of departure.

There is also a prison or “detention cell” on board every cruise ship.. Passengers who get into fights during parties spend the rest of the cruise in a windowless room, the woman said.. When the liner docks in the harbor, such persons are handed over to the authorities.

The ship's worker added that leftover food from the buffet on board is eaten by the crew - it is processed before consumption. A special joy for a woman is the opportunity to deliver parcels on board, because she is often tired from work.

Passengers also do not have to buy water on the ship - it can be obtained for free at buffets or the gym. To do this, you just need to take a bottle of water with you and fill it.

Let us remind you that earlier an employee of a cruise ship spoke about a special rule that everyone must adhere to. The fact is that some things are prohibited on board the ship.

Previously, a specialist told what happens when a passenger dies on board a plane. For such a case, workers have a plan.
