Back To World School Cruise
Labor Day week, 2027. While the rest of America is labeling folders and buying binders, twenty-two families are boarding a ship in Miami. Four nights, two islands, and a boat full of kids who will never once be asked what grade they are in.

Your Kids Have Never Been on a Boat Where Everyone Gets It
For four days, nobody asks what grade youu2019re in. Every family in this block made the same call you made. Twenty-two cabins, held together in one reserved block: 12 balcony staterooms and 10 inside staterooms, centrally located rather than scattered across a 2,980-guest ship.
Peers, Not Just Playmates
Your kids meet other kids whose normal is their normal. No explaining, no defending, no being the unusual one.
Parents Who Speak Your Language
Curriculum talk, travel logistics, the grandparent question. Answered at dinner by people doing it.
The World as the Classroom
Two Bahamian island days, marine ecosystems, currency, geography and culture. This is the week that teaches itself.
Neighbors, Not Strangers Onboard
Book the same cabin category as the families you want to be near and you land in the same cluster of cabins.
The Spellers on the road. Six kids, more than twenty years of homeschooling, and a family that has been doing this long enough to make it look easy.

What It Costs
| Cabin Type | Guests 1 & 2 (per person) | Guests 3 & 4 | Availability |

All taxes and port fees included. Deposit is $180 per person regardless of cabin type. Pricing for the third and fourth guest in a cabin moves daily, so the figures above are ceilings and your real total is usually lower.
Included
Your cabin in the reserved MOOD block, all taxes, and all port fees.
Not Included
Gratuities ($68 per person) and vacation protection or travel insurance ($49 per person). Both can be added directly through Carnival once your cabin number is assigned.
Payment Terms
- Deposit: $180 per person, due at booking. This locks your family into the reserved block and gets your cabin number assigned.
- Balance: due Friday, June 18, 2027, paid directly to Carnival through your own cabin link. That is $160 per person for inside cabins and $345 per person for balconies.
- Refunds: fully refundable until June 18, 2027, minus a $30 per person processing fee.
- Single supplement: $205 per person inside, $383 per person balcony, only if traveling alone in a cabin. A single parent traveling with children pays no supplement.
What Happens After You Book
You Pay Your Deposit
This locks you into our reserved cabin block, held together rather than scattered across the ship.
We Assign Your Cabin
Once your deposit is in, we create and assign your cabin number inside the block.
You Get Your Cabin Link
You receive a dedicated link to your cabin on Carnivalu2019s site. Your balance is paid there, any time before June 18, 2027.
You Customize Your Cabin
Add gratuities, a protection plan, and drink packages through the same link whenever youu2019re ready.
Traveling with friends? Book the same cabin category and you will be in the same cluster of cabins. Family of five or more? Cabins sleep a maximum of four, so you will need two rooms — we hold them together in the block. Email help@moodtravelclub.com and we will set it up.
Everyone Else Is Buying Binders
The first week of September 2027 is already spoken for. The only question is whether your family spends it in a carpool line or on a beach in the Bahamas with twenty-one families who get it.
