Day 3 – Alaska 2018 – Formal Star Pours

Coach had not been on a cruise ship since a terrible 3-day cruise with 30-40 foot seas in the Gulf of Mexico. It was a vomitorium. Bad news. Coach swore off cruising, but a man who loves the outdoors cannot decline a chance to see Alaska and Princess has made me reconsider my previous cruise…
