The whole time I was in Alaska, I just kept saying it was like a movie set,” said Cohen. Another feature of the Princess Medallion is the Ocean Compass, which allows you to locate and message your travel companions. Whomever you are traveling with is automatically named as travel companions in the app, but you can remove each other if you choose to. I had my Medallion customized with an astrological symbol and ordered the rubber wristband.
Lots Of Viewing Areas
Arrived in Alaska around 6pm, but had to wait awhile before they allowed us to exit the train. We took a bus to the Captain Cook hotel, a nice but dated hotel in downtown Anchorage. The next am, we got up early, grabbed some food at the coffee bar, and caught the 0700 shuttle to the Park at the flagpoles out front. Buses seem to run every 30 min. The driver dropped us off at the Horseshoe Lake Trailhead parking lot – only ones there, not sure if it was the rain or early hour that gave us our private hike.

I asked the guide how much further to the nights lodging. She must of seen fear in my eye's " we're campin out tonite on the open tundra amongst the wolves and starvin' bears. So best fatten up on the caribou jerky PILGRIM!" ..... And then there’s the fact that you see different things on land and by sea. On my tour, I felt I got a better overview of Alaska and a better feel for its expansiveness during the land portion, which I appreciated seeing first.
