CUIS 70A, Mid-Cruise Letdown

Noncredit

Inevitably, you are going to find that your initial choice of partner is a letdown or has a terrible secret leaving you confused, hurt, and alone. (i.e. silly misunderstandings, surprising pregnancies or children, turns out he's a bank robber or stowaway, might be your unknown sibling, seen kissing Your Cruise Director, etc.) This course will put your romance back on track so that you end the cruise happy, together, and engaged.

CUIS 70B, Advanced Mid-Cruise Letdown

6 Units

Sometimes your initial pairing is not the correct choice. This advanced course will give you the skills needed to make the switch to the sister/brother/best friend, mother/daughter, servant, or Your Cruise Director.
