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.
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.
I know they do that on cruise ships. I used to work on ships, and we always knew the onboard morgue was full when we got hard ice cream in the mess.
How many fucking people died on your cruise ships?

The have morgues
Yes, but filling them and needing to overflow into the ice cream freezer?
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.
If your maximum capacity is only enough for your average rate, you’ve designed it to overflow roughly half the time.
