Dead Weight

When a Norwegian Cruise Lines vessel docked in Boston last Friday there were two dead passengers aboard. Surprise!

If you have been paying attention to our blog you will have noticed that we're not big fans of cruises. People have been known to get sick or mysteriously fall off the vessels. However, a two for one deal in the death department is a bit unusual.

The woman who was found dead had been suffering from a long term illness. Okay, things like that will happen to 67 year olds.

However, the man who was found deceased is only 23 years old and his cause of death hasn't been determined.

Now if there were two corpses on an airplane when it landed, we'd never hear the end of it. Why do cruises have lower death standards?
