And the adventure begins again…

Two seasons ago a good friend of mine traveled all the way from our fair state of Florida to the wonderful picturesque state of Alaska. After returning she knew Alaska was a place I needed to see and would fall in love with. I decided to do...more

My journey to Alaska actually began last summer. My parents went on a cruise with Princess and when they returned, they showed me pictures and told me all about it. My interest was piqued, and I was beginning to think about how I could get to visit Alaska. Well, then my parents told me that a lot of college age people...more

In my preparations for coming to Alaska and a summer with Princess, a friend of mine requested (demanded, really) that I send him photos of every "first" during my journey.

Donny - Night Audit & Night Security

Hello to all!! I would like to take a few minutes and talk about how I got to where I am right now. It is actually by pure accident that I am working for Copper River Princess Wilderness Lodge. It started in early March, about 3 days before I left to go on a cruise with Carnival Cruise Lines. I had already been on 2 cruises, and I absolutely loved the environment!! I really enjoyed meeting the crew members on board the ship. Everybody had a different story, experience, and background. I felt that I learned so much each time I went. I was sitting on the internet one night, and I got a wild idea that...more
