Not many alumni communities share the experience of spending a summer selling door to door. The long days, the countless “no’s,” the lessons learned, and the growth that came with it created a connection that lasts long after the summer ends.
That’s what makes traveling together different. You’re not showing up with a group of strangers—you’re reconnecting with people who understand the experience, share the stories, and know what it meant to be part of something unique.
On these trips, you’re not starting from scratch. You’re simply picking up where you left off.
The adventure begins in Miami, FL! Get ready to board the ship, settle in, and officially kick off our alumni getaway.
Once everyone is aboard, join your fellow alumni for a welcome reception filled with good vibes, familiar faces, new connections, and plenty of reasons to raise a glass.
Today, we’re trading the ship for sunshine, turquoise water, and a little Bahamian adventure!
Spend the day exploring Nassau at your own pace—whether you’re ready for a beach day, shopping and sightseeing, a delicious local lunch, an excursion, or simply finding the perfect spot to soak up the island vibes. We will offer optional add-on excursions through the cruise line.
Gather your fellow alumni, grab your sunglasses, and get ready to make some waves in Nassau!
Today’s agenda? Whatever you want!
Enjoy a full day aboard Royal Caribbean with no ports, no schedules, and no alarm clocks—just ocean views and plenty of ways to have fun.
Sleep in, lounge by the pool, grab a bite, try an onboard activity, catch a show, enjoy a cocktail, or simply relax and watch the waves go by. And, of course, it’s the perfect day to reconnect with fellow alumni and make a few memories along the way!
Get ready for a Perfect Day in paradise!
Today, we’re stepping off the ship and onto Royal Caribbean’s private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay, where the only thing on the schedule is FUN!
Whether you want to kick back on the beach, float in crystal-clear water, enjoy a delicious lunch, take on an exciting water adventure, or simply soak up the sunshine with your fellow alumni, there’s no wrong way to spend the day.
Grab your sunglasses, sunscreen, and favorite alumni crew, and get ready for island vibes, big laughs, and memories worth bringing home.
Sadly, all good cruises must come to an end!
After four unforgettable nights of sunshine, laughter, island adventures, and time with fellow alumni, it’s time to disembark in Miami and head back to reality.
Grab your luggage, exchange those last few hugs, snap one more group photo, and make sure you’ve collected all the memories (and maybe a few souvenirs!) from our Bahamas adventure.
The ship may be behind us, but the friendships, stories, and good times will sail on! Until the next adventure… sea you soon!
