I gather also it is not easy to launch lifeboats from a ship under way, so it makes sense to delay abandon ship until it was stopped.
Even if you can't launch lifeboats until the ship slows down, you don't tell the passengers that "it's just a problem with the generator and to remain calm." You get them into PFD's & to lifeboat stations PDQ.
