 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.
