Summary

This is a seven-night review of Celebrity Summit from San Juan to the Eastern Caribbean. The cruise was expected to sail round trip from Puerto Rico but due to COVID-19, authorities did not let the ship back into San Juan. Instead, the cruise ended in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This seven-night cruise turned into a nine-night.

Richard Simms has cruise news:

CDC and the cruise ship ban
False Alarm on a European ship that resumed service last month.
Virgin Voyages pushed their return day back.
Carnival Mardi Gras is one step closer to Florida
Princess Cruises takes delivery of its newest ship.

Question: Is it true that you have to pay more for drinks while the ship is docked in port vs out to sea?
