Students of all majors have the exciting opportunity to study cruise management and cruise tourism from the vantage point of passengers on Royal Caribbean Cruise Line's Freedom of the Seas Ocean Liner. The program will allow student's to experience first-hand, various on board positions including, but not limited to: Hotel Management, Cruise Programming, Dining Services, Hospitality Management, and Youth/Teen Programming. Additionally, traveling to Jamaica will allow students to observe first-hand tourism planning mistakes that have devastated the Jamaican people. Traveling to Grand Cayman will give students the ability to observe ecosystem management principles while seeing in-person, a pristine coral reef. Traveling to Cozumel will give students real-world experience in observing the role heritage and culture (in this case Mayan culture) plays in preserving historic sights.
Specific topics which the course will cover include: an introduction to cruise tourism; management of service sectors; understanding of cultural aspects of places traveled; cruise marketing/decision making; geography of cruising; youth programming; agri-tourism; and identification of issues to the economic, technological, and political aspects of cruise tourism.
