This sounds awfully like, "Who do we blame/sue for this?" The tour company?
The weatherman? I can understand their disappointment, but most of those
cruise tickets are sold at "discount" prices, to people looking for a real
deal for their vacation. Don't they assume some responsibility for the
ships being constructed for the majority of expected weather patterns, not
the extremes? If one looks at statistics of how many vacations are altered
by adverse weather conditions, one might better understand the popularity of
trip insurance.

Indeed this is the same as hitting heavy turbulences in an airplane and the
last one I heard from had many more injured, some severely. Get trip insurance
and keep your seatbelt tighten for the whole duration of the trip in an
airplane.
