Celebrity Shortens Summit Cruise - Ship Headed To Dry Dock Early

Celebrity Cruises has confirmed that Celebrity Summit's January 31 cruise, originally a seven-night Southern Caribbean cruise out of San Juan, has been shortened by a day. The cruise will now end on Friday, February 6 (instead of the 7th). The ship will then immediately head into dry dock to undergo repairs for what the line describes as "an electrical problem."

A spokesman from Celebrity says that the dry dock was expected to last four days. The next cruise aboard Celebrity Summit is on scheduled to depart from San Juan on February 14. Celebrity Summit was chartered -- and therefore not open to the public for booking -- for its February 7 departure; that cruise has been canceled.

According to the line, the cruise departing January 31 will now sail an altered itinerary. A previously scheduled visit to Scarborough, Tobago on Wednesday has been canceled. The new six-night itinerary is as follows: St. Maarten on Monday; Roseau, Dominica on Tuesday; St. George's, Grenada on Wednesday; Barbados on Thursday; at sea on Friday; return to San Juan on Saturday.
