Data gathered was tallied and interpreted using frequency and percentage, weighted mean, and ANOVA for significant differences. The researcher found out that mostly of the Cruise Line students are at the age of 20 and majority of them are female. The conclusion shows that the Age and Sexes of the respondents have nothing to do in determining their performance towards LPU-DTC Curriculum.

The researcher recommend to the faculty of CITHM department to focus on the weak points in the categories that received the least rank in the research conducted recently like performing basic computation and managing reservations in front office operation, improving interpersonal relationship skills especially in practicum because most of the students find it hard to be able to control their emotions while on the actual work operation. Proposed measures may review for enhance implementation of the new and revised curriculum in accordance to K-12 curriculum.
