I think passengers will see more stringent lifeboat drills, prior to the ship leaving the dock, or within one hour after getting underway. The passengers will probably be required to muster at their lifeboat station, not in a lounge or other public space, wearing a life vest, and be accounted for by a lifeboat section (crew member) leader.
I don't think this accident will deter cruise travel to any great extent...I feel only first time cruisers may be afraid or reluctant.
