Fewer bookings for cruises post Costa accident

This story shouldn't be a big shocker, but Carnival Cruise Lines are reporting that their bookings are down in the "mid-teens" percentage-wise.  Carnival Corp is the parent company of other known cruise lines such as Costa, Carnival, Princess and Holland America.  

The drop in bookings was found in non-Coasta brands.  The Costa Brand is even worse but it's hard to judge their bookings with the disaster still in progress.  Recovery continues in Italy since the ship ran aground on January 13th, 2012.

It's amazing, one mans bad judgment can affect the lives of many and the bookings of cruise lines everywhere.
