Port Tampa Bay Welcomes First Ultra-Luxury
Cruise Ship

Port Tampa Bay stepped into the world of ultra-luxury cruising on Sunday with the arrival of the Seven Seas Navigator, marking Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ first visit to the port.

The 466-foot vessel was welcomed with a ceremonial plaque and key exchange in the ship’s elegant Stars Lounge, celebrating Tampa’s growing appeal as a high-end travel destination.

“This is a great step in Tampa Bay’s growth,” said Patrick Harrison of Visit Tampa Bay, noting recent upscale additions like Michelin-star restaurants and five-star hotels.

Captain Loris Cucas praised the port’s hospitality and expressed excitement about exploring the city.

Port leaders see the new partnership as a perfect fit with downtown Tampa’s rapid development.

Woman Drowns Dog in Airport Bathroom After Boarding Denial, Police Say

A Louisiana woman has been charged with aggravated animal abuse after allegedly drowning her dog in an Orlando International Airport bathroom. The 9-year-old miniature schnauzer, named Tywinn, was found in a trash bag with its belongings after the woman was denied boarding due to lacking proper travel paperwork for the animal.

Surveillance footage shows her speaking to a Latam Airlines agent, entering a bathroom with the dog, then exiting alone. Shortly after, she cleared security and boarded a flight to Colombia, later connecting to Ecuador. A necropsy confirmed the dog had been drowned, and its identity was verified via microchip.

Police described the act as "intentional" and "cruel", and the woman was arrested in Lake County, then released on $5,000 bail.

More Craziness:

Federal Lawsuit Claims United Pilot Broke Bathroom Door, Exposed Passenger

Yisroel Liebb, an Orthodox Jewish passenger from New Jersey, is suing United Airlines and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, claiming a pilot forcibly removed him from an airplane bathroom, exposing him mid-constipation during a flight from Tulum, Mexico to Houston.

Liebb alleges he was in the bathroom for about 20 minutes when a flight attendant asked his travel companion, Jacob Sebbag, to check on him. After assurances he’d be out soon, the pilot allegedly forced open the door, pulling Liebb out with his pants around his ankles, exposing him to other passengers.

The men say the pilot made derogatory remarks about their faith and threatened arrest. Upon landing, Customs and Border Protection agents removed them in handcuffs, searched their belongings, and detained them. Though United rebooked them for free, they incurred overnight expenses. United and CBP declined to comment, citing the ongoing lawsuit.
