What it did was show how incompetent the crew was during a localized weather event which occur in that region with seasonal regularity.
There improper actions negated any design features of the ship.
Waking the passengers and having them huddle up for an hour in a sea tight ship until the storm passed is what the marine insurance company expected from the captain & crew.
