The cruise ship Monarch of the Seas made an unexpected stop in St. Croix Saturday.
The mega-ship, carrying 3,000 passengers, was diverted from its scheduled stop in St. Maarten due to high seas, according to Shirley L. Smith of the V.I. Port Authority.
Smith said the ship came in at 7:30 a.m. and would remain at the Ann E. Abramson Pier in Fredriksted until 6 p.m.
"We're anxious to get the word out," Smith said.
