Ketchikan, Alaska - Crew members from the Coral Princess participated in a training drill at the Ketchikan High School swimming pool Thursday. The drill required that the staff right the life raft alone and then climb aboard while their trainer sprayed water on them with a hose to simulate ocean spray.

Pool manager Karen Taylor said this training goes on every year for every Princess ship.  She said two training sessions have been completed and the rest will be done over the course of the summer.
