There are social media sites for cruises. The biggest, most well known is Cruise Critic. I post a lot there. Here’s the point: do you have any idea how many would protest/complain about cancelling the trip?
Several years ago, there was a series of terrorist attacks in Israel and multiple cruise lines cancelled port calls there. Cruise Critic was alight with complaints. ‘They should have let us make up our minds if it was too dangerous.’ Of course, these would have been the first to file suits for compensation if they were injured in an attack.

No way of knowing. I do know that the group of passengers that were around us in the stairwell before being allowed to get off the ship at the first excursion were not happy. I do think if they had offered not to take the cruise for the weather problem and told the passengers what might happen, and did, a number of passengers would have cancelled as at least a dozen were hurt and they tried to hide that by getting them off the ship unseen. Scuttle gets around on shipboard so everyone found out and there was an air of distrust of the crew after that.
