That is the frustrating trial and error bit: we warn them, they go see if it is an iceberg or a clear route. Then we go "told you so... Now back up, take a sharp turn starboard and then take this route", largely because all the time the status quo and some people at the far back of the ship who can't see ahead, go "I'm confident that wasn't an iceberg, we think the quickest route is straight ahead because we trust our captains know best", mostly because they are either profiting from selling lifeboat tickets (thinking they sell cruise tickets), or having first class enjoyment at the expense of the second and third class passengers who have no entertainment facilities or can't find it on there decks, often because they are too mesmarized and impressed by the size of the cruise ship (sure the facilities are somewhere, they just havn't found it yet). Meanwhile each iceberg rammed leads to more lifeboats being launched.
