An ex-captain's death from Legionella cannot be definitively linked to a cruise ship, an inquest has heard.
Tore Myhra, 57, died in a Miami hospital in November 2009, four days after becoming ill on board a Royal Caribbean cruise.
An inquest in Norwich heard the ship tested negative for Legionella.
Norfolk assistant deputy coroner David Osborne said: "It's not possible to definitively say the ship was more likely than not the source."
But, he added, some water samples were taken only after "remediation" had been carried out because a passenger on the ship's previous cruise died of Legionella on her return to the UK.
