On the other hand, does the crew really need to train with passengers every 3-4 days as in short cruises.

It's called muscle memory.  Regardless of how much training a person has, you never know how they will react in an actual emergency, so you try to make the proper response be done reflexively, without conscious thought.

But if you really want to make it realistic, why not have passengers “act” panicky? That’s what we do in active shooter training with volunteer actors. 

Yeah, how's that going to work out with a bunch of vacationers?  And, how much longer would that make the muster drill, with the attendant complaints.
