A dead cruise passenger's body was forced to decay after being "left in the drinks cooler for days", it is claimed.
Robert L. Jones, 79, from Florida, US, was onboard the 1,041-foot-long Celebrity Equinox ship with his wife Marylin, 78, when he died from heart complications on August 15.
Celebrity Cruises, who are required to have a working morgue, gave Mrs Jones the option of taking the body off the ship when it docked at their next stop in Puerto Rico, or be placed in the ship’s morgue until it returned to Fort Lauderdale six days later.
