Earn College Credits for Computer Classes Aboard Crystal Ships

Here's a clever cross-promotion: Crystal's Computer University@Sea will offer instruction on Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system a month before the OS package is available for purchase.

Crystal, in conjunction with Del Mar College, will also offer various computer classes that will earn transferable college credit during the 2010 World Cruise, which embarks Miami on January 11.

The Windows 7 classes will be taught by Crystal’s Computer University@Sea instructors, and cover basic computing and valuable tips for mastering the operating system and maximizing ease and efficiency. The collegiate courses aboard the World Cruise, taught by an instructor from Del Mar College, include:

* Components of the System Unit
* Computer Storage Devices
* Database Management
* Privacy and Ethics

“Our guests expect sophisticated enrichment that includes progressive programming and the latest equipment,” says Thomas Mazloum, Crystal’s senior vice president, hotel operations. “We continue to strive to offer the very highest level of curriculum, as well as options to suit virtually any interest.”

Every Crystal Cruise offers complimentary instruction on the Windows 7 operating system, e-mail, website design, digital video editing, digital camera orientation, Photoshop, and even surfing the web. Other topics include Word, Excel, Access, Powerpoint, greeting and business card design, and various financial research tools and spreadsheet preparation. Private instruction is also available. There is a nominal fee for those wishing to earn collegiate credit.
