Princess Cruises ship gets battered by Storm Floris
Princess Cruises ship gets battered by Storm Floris originally appeared on TravelHost. As Storm Floris hit the U.K. with raging winds and heavy rain on Aug. 4, several cruise ships sailing British Isles cruises in the region got caught in angry seas. In Scotland, Storm Floris is being called the 'most damaging summer storm in recent memory' by electricity providers. The storm brought wind gusts of more than 100mph in some parts of northern Scotland, leaving tens of thousands of homes without power and suspending trains while crews worked to clear fallen cruise ships sailing in and around Scotland this week on British Isles cruises, the storm meant missed ports of call and sailing through some rough seas to get to calmer waters and alternate ports. While cruise ship captains will always sail the safest route possible and avoid putting their ships and their passengers in danger, sometimes heavy seas can't be entirely avoided. Although Princess Cruises' Regal Princess canceled two of its scheduled port stops in northern Scotland to stay ahead of Storm Floris, the ship still had to sail through some turbulent waters in order to avoid the worst of the weather. Doug Parker shared details on the rough sea conditions Regal Princess faced as it outran Storm Floris in Scotland, and other cruise news, including a wave of MSC Cruises cancellations, on the Aug. 5 edition of Cruise News Floris thrashes cruise ships in the British Isles Cruise News Today Transcript: This is Cruise News Today with Doug Parker.

On Monday evening, having flown back home from Switzerland, the Lionesses arrived at 10 Downing Street to acknowledge and celebrate their achievement by successfully retaining the European Championship title they originally won in 2022. The building had been specially decorated, with England flags draped across the windows to greet the "history makers". THE BIGGER PICTURE With prime minister Sir Keir Starmer meeting US president Donald Trump 400 miles away in Scotland, deputy PM Angela Rayner was the one who warmly received Sarina Wiegman and the England squad. Of the players, only defender Jess Carter was not present for the event, having immediately returned to America to link back up with club side NJ/NY Gotham. WHAT RAYNER SAID Addressing the squad, Rayner said: "The Prime Minister is disappointed that he can't be here, but like the rest of us he was cheering you on. You've made us all so, so proud. Role models like you send such a powerful message. The Lionesses are a shining example of talent and excitement for women's football." WHAT WIEGMAN SAID "You don't come to Downing Street normally and how they [decorated] it like this is very special, to be able to go inside but also into the garden, it was really nice," Wiegman told reporters. "They put up some pictures of us that showed what we had done in the Euros. It was lovely and a very warm welcome." WHAT NEXT FOR THE LIONESSES? On Tuesday, from 12.10pm, the Lionesses will parade through central London, first on an open top bus along The Mall, followed by a staged ceremony in front of Buckingham Palace. Television coverage will be broadcast nationally for those not able to make it to the capital across BBC, ITV and Sky platforms, as well as globally on England's social media channels.

Britain's foreign minister went fishing with JD Vance. Now, he could be fined for it
Last week, British foreign minister David Lammy went fishing with US Vice President JD Vance at his retreat in the English countryside. Now, he could be fined for doing so. Lammy on Wednesday referred himself to the UK's environment watchdog for fishing without a rod license – an offense in Britain that could land him with a fine of £2,500 ($3,400). 'The foreign secretary has written to the Environment Agency over an administrative oversight that meant the appropriate licenses had not been acquired for fishing on a private lake as part of a diplomatic engagement at Chevening House last week,' a Foreign Office spokesperson said. 'As soon as the foreign secretary was made aware of the administrative error, he successfully purchased the relevant rod fishing licenses,' the spokesperson added. 'He also wrote to the Environment Agency notifying them of the error, demonstrating how it would be rectified, and thanking them for their work protecting Britain's fisheries.' Lammy recently hosted Vance at Chevening House, his grace-and-favor retreat in the southern county of Kent, known as the Garden of England. After his diplomatic engagements, the vice president has stayed in the country for a family vacation. Although Vance has been critical of the British government for what he claims is its heavy-handed approach to free speech, he and Lammy held a chummy press conference after their illegal fishing trip. 'Unfortunately, the one strain on the special relationship is that all of my kids caught fish, but the foreign secretary did not,' Vance told reporters. The fish that were caught by the group were returned to the private lake, according to Britain's PA Media news agency. Those aged 13 or older must have a rod license to freshwater fish in England and Wales, under laws aiming to protect fish stocks and make fisheries sustainable. 'Everyone who goes fishing needs a licence to help improve our rivers, lakes and the sport anglers love,' said an Environment Agency spokesperson, according to PA. 'We understand the relevant licences have been purchased.'
