It's stange to think that someone who was such a TV giant as he has
gone, working up to the very last. His family must be shattered.

Goodness me! They must be shattered.
I can't remember a time in my life when he was not on TV as a comedian or a

A cruise liner is probably not the best place to have a heart attack

It's a long way from being the worst place. Given their typical
customer base of unfit old fogies, and that it is a high-end and
large cruise liner, it will be set up for just such an event.
I should be surprised if the doctor in charge were not reasonably
expert on the initial treatment of heart attacks ....

I can assure you it is, it is about one of the best places. The medical
facilities and the attention are first class. I know from experience of
extensive cruising. Both my wife and myself have used the facilities during
our world wide cruises with Cunard, P&O and Thomson to list a few.

Nick we have heard of operations being carried out on one of our many
cruises. The Hospital on board is superb. see my other reply.

Should a patient require a blood transfusion and they run out of their own
supply, registered and up to date blood donors are called. I know because I
have heard it on a cruise.

Can I say that a cruise liner is definatly NOT the best place to be with or
without a heart attack? Yuk! If you go onboard without a gut wrenching
squit, you will come off with a few. Cleanliness is next to Yachtyness.
Burp. Projectile vomit. We have Alan Wicker as proof. Burp.
David Frost is going to be missed by most of us I would think.

Not my experience on Saga cruises Baz. Given that
everyone is 50+, they are very vigilant about
cleanliness, hand wash gel by all food stands and
encouragement to use it. IF there is any transmittable
illness on board vigilance is increased and staff
serve all open food, rather than you helping yourself.
You are still allowed to open your breakfast cereal
packet yourself!
