Under the circumstances calls were probably not getting through.
A Text is compressed into a packet which the phone repeatedly tries to send until it gets confirmation that it reached its destination.
Sometimes the system generates a false positive or the phone memory glitches, but a text message is more likely to get through than a call in an emergency.

Volcanic explosive pyroclastic eruption lava temps can reach 1900° and will incinerate/vaporize what they touch. https://www.forbes.com/sites/robinandrews/2017/01/08/this-is-how-a-volcanos-pyroclastic-flow-will-kill-you/#4089f71432cd

I think she is upset that the cruise line didn’t cancel the sightseeing trip in light of increased recent activity.

Aren’t all disasters waiting to happen? If you’re at ground zero it’s the biggest disaster you’ll ever see. They all suck. How much depends on proximity to my way of thinking.
