[quote randk]I would like to know what cruise ship has an average age of 65. I dont think it is Carnival, though it may be one of the other companies they own. Every cruise I have been on I would have to say the average is about 40 to 45. But either way, i really do not belive it is "common for someone to die on a cruise" it does happen but not that it is common or day to day. Just my 2 cents worth.

Actually it is more common than you might think. In fact many upscale cruise lines that have an older passenger base carry coffins onboard just in case.

Do not think that just because a person is only 40 that they cannot have a heart attack and die. Several years ago on a Princess cruise in Australia we heard a code called and later learned the entertainer in the piano lounge had a heart attack and died. Many of us had frequented that lounge and got to know him and were shocked. He was only 36. There was even a memorial service a couple of days later.
