University At Sea

I have been on two cme cruises and it is an excellent way to get hours and spent time with family. Highly recommend

Beware of this company! I signed up for a continuing legal education (CLE) course that they provided in conjunction with a cruise on Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas. I attended class faithfully but never got a certificate of attendance until a few months later when I was certifying my CLE compliance and realized the omission. Then I found out they never got the course approved for credit in my state! The ads say they have been approved but that was not true. Even though I had asked and received assurances that they would get approval both during and after the conference, they NEVER EVEN APPLIED! They told me that they thought I should apply individually, but I couldn't because (a) the course was not approved in Florida either (!) and (b) more than 60 days had elapsed. Despite my repeated requests they have not refunded my $700 in tuition. In the future, I will not consider it worth it to give up 2 days of my vacation anyway, especially since the IRS doesn't allow deduction of anything more than the tuition. That's a special rule for cruises that the company never mentions in their advertising.
