ST. CROIX — The Virgin Islands Port Authority said this morning it received notice today that Celebrity Summit diverted from Antigua to visit St. Croix instead.<\/p>\n
A reason for the diversion was not divulged, and it was not clear whether V.I.P.A. officials were given a reason for the unexpected call. But the ship was to arrive at the Ann E. Abramson Marine Facility in Frederiksted at 11:00 a.m. today, said VIPA\u2019s Acting Executive Director David W. Mapp.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Summit was scheduled for repairs earlier this month and was forced to cancel its call to St. Croix, so this unexpected diversion is a welcome one for the Port Authority and the tourism-related businesses on the island,\u201d Mr. Mapp said. He added that the time of the ship\u2019s departure was not provided.<\/p>\n
The Summit is a millennium-class ship with a capacity of 2,158 passengers and 999 crew.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
