Cruise Passengers Robbed At Gunpoint on St. Kitts

Seventeen passengers from Celebrity Mercury were robbed at gunpoint on Sunday while on an excursion purchased through the cruise line on the island of St. Kitts.  No one was injured during the incident but the assailants did escape with the passengers money, jewelry and cameras.

The excursion, called "Essential St. Kitts", which is sold by every line that visits St. Kitts will no longer be offered by Celebrity.  Princess has gone a step further by cancelling the November 17th call to St. Kitts by Grand Princess, instead diverting the ship to St. Johns, Antigua.

Currently there is a manhunt still underway to find those responsible.  Local security has also been increased on the island.
