COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- It has been a few weeks now since the Carnival Triumph returned to port after being stranded in the Gulf of Mexico for days.

Several unpleasant days followed as food ran short, the sewage system overflowed, and the air conditioning stopped working.

Despite the negative news, it seems vacationers are still booking cruises of all kinds, including trips with Carnival.

"No cancels, we actually booked three Carnival cruises the day they dragged in the ship," Gunilla Kjellin, General Manager with Charlie Brown's Goodtime Travel, said. "We did not see any downturn at all."

We had a few people that were kind of like 'Well ya know,' just a little more hesitant," Charlie Brown with Charlie Brown's Goodtime Travel said.

But Brown said if you have ever been on a cruise, you know it is rare for something bad to happen while at sea.

"It usually affects people that have not cruised before because they already have a mental block in their head about being out in the middle of the ocean," Brown said.

"It is like being in a car accident, and then never wanting to get in a car again," Kjellin said.

Kjellin said Charlie Brown's Goodtime Travel has booked more cruises so far this year, than the same time last.

"You can get a great deal on any of the cruise lines actually for Spring Break and the upcoming months," she said.

The problem now is with last minute bookings come expensive flights.

"Spring Break we are booking in October and September, that is when we are filling the cheap flights and hotel deals," Kjellin said.

"The main thing with cruising is you want to book a cruise that is right for you, what you want out of the cruise," Brown said.
