We have used both a cooler on the cabin sole and the ice box. The con on the cooler in addition to the deck space is your stuff sitting in melt water. If you keep the ice box drain clear it stays mostly dry. About 6 years ago I did a 'temporary' fix by lining the inside of the icebox with styrofoam. This past fall cruise I was out for 9 days solo and fed it ice 4 times and had ice left to get stuff home
