Yes, there were enough lifeboats on board.
However, the thought of spending several hours packed like sardines a lifeboat with 30-60 other people bouncing around the rough ocean (sea sickness) with very limited bathroom options, was not an appealing idea!
One of the crew members said that they would take there chances in one of the Zodiac boats, rather than get into the life boat.
