Armed gunmen robbed a tour bus filled with Celebrity Cruise passengers in St. Lucia on Friday.

Fifty-five passengers and two crew members from the Celebrity Eclipse were on their way to the Botanical Gardens in Soufriere.

The bandits took cash and jewelry, but no one was hurt.

Celebrity says it is "monitoring the safety situation in St. Lucia."

The Eclipse is in the middle of a 14-night Caribbean cruise out of Fort Lauderdale; its itinerary includes St. Thomas, St. Maarten, Antigua, Barbados, Grenada, Aruba, and Curacao.
