29 SEP: Fred Olsen liner Balmoral was detained for several hours in Southampton yesterday after maritime authorities found a problem with lifeboat davits and queried records relating to crew hours of rest.
Fred Olen called the incident "technical difficulties".
It said the late departure of a nine-night sailing to the Iberian Peninsula would mean removing a France call from the itinerary.
Passengers will get a £50 shipboard credit as compensation.
