Maybe if they didnt fanny about for so long that wouldnt be so much of an issue. Tell you what I would do though, ferry people over to the ice berg's and then get the boats to return. Contrast to the film, there wasnt just ONE big berg in the middle of the sea, there would of been others, and 'floating ice'. Yea you would be cold, but theres plenty fabric material for you onboard the ship that could of went with you. Boats return, ferry more over, and the rest can sit in the boats, and hey presto, people saved :).

Despite that, I doubt presented with such a situation and in the spur of the moment, I doubt anyone would of thought of that, particuarly since knowone really believed it would sink (which ofcourse explains the delay in the lifeboats being launched and how little full they where to begin with).
