      I’d be surprised if it’s not uncommon. Cruise ships tend to skew older. If they mostly did cruises that catered towards elderly vacationers, I can see more than a few of them just buying it just from the law of averages.

          To fill a morgue you just need a higher than average mortality rate.

          If the ship only has room for 2, then a 3rd death means overflow.

          Nobody said overflow means 100 people.

              You’re right, but it also likely isn’t designed to never overflow, because then you’re wasting money, and the owners couldn’t have that! I’m sure it’s designed to handle like the highest 90% or something like that. There’s almost certainly an expected amount of overflow. It’s like all infrastructure is built to handle only a certain percentage of events, because over building has massive costs.
