MSO meeting registration form

The MSO meeting registration fee applies to the CE educational program only and not to any cruise related charges. Cruise booking applies to only the cruise and does NOT register you for the CE educational program. Due to pricing considerations and included amenities, only those participants booking on this cruise through Special Event Cruises are eligible to attend the MSO program.

CE attendance letters will be given to each MSO program registrant with the final CE assigned based upon course attendance during the cruise. Current MSO program meeting space assignment onboard allows for up to 12 hours of CE lectures to be held in the main show lounge with ample seating options. Participation for additional break-out sessions will be limited to first-come, first-served seating.
