Sad to hear, but I expect that is common on a trip of that length, I would expect the average age of the passengers to be quite high.

When I graduated Jr. High School back in the early 80's, my parents took me on a 2 week cruise to Alaska, the average passenger age was very high. Out of about 600 passengers, I think we lost 3 to old age during the voyage. I remember at dinner, the waiter would bring the butter dish and tap on the butter with the back of a spoon and say "nice and hard, we didn't lose anyone today", if the butter was soft he would say "I guess they had to make room in the refrigerator today".
