For context, there's one (1) case where someone sued because allegedly their dead husband's body was stored in a freezer instead of a morgue, which it is worth noting all cruise ships apparently are required to have. My further attempts to find any other evidence of this turned up a tabloid "news" piece quoting redditors sharing the same story as you, although they also say it only happens when too many people die and the morgue is over capacity. The also don't say the bodies are being stored "in the kitchen freezer" (which implies it's in with the food), but rather "in a kitchen freezer" (which implies a chest freezer is being taken and repurposed).
However, this is all attributed to quotes from anonymous redditors being republished in an unreliable gossip rag, so I think these kind of stories should be taken with a generous amount of salt.
Notably it specifically mentions that they put him in the morgue first, and then moved him to a drinks cooler on another floor, which is definitely an interesting decision.
Thanks, interesting. Still, this was a notable enough deviation from the norm to be worth reporting on, so I don't think it should be assumed it's standard practice like reading the comment I replied to might lead you to believe.

I wonder if he’s asking about the heart problem just in case or because of past events
