To promise something means to say that you will definitely do it. In this case, the captain is not making a promise, he is just trying to reassure the passengers. To advise someone means to give them advice, or to tell them what you think they should do. In this case, the captain is not giving advice, he is just trying to make the passengers feel less afraid.
