He added that a drop in demand for cruise holidays would quickly lead to lower prices as operators hate to sail with empty cabins.

The chaotic organisation of passengers on the Concordia, with deadly
consequences for some, raises serious questions about emergency
procedures and crew training on cruise ships.

In the frantic disorder of a life boat, a voice is heard urging others: "Take pictures! It will be important in establishing whose fault this is."
