You're hypothetical world would experience 2x(the number of moons) high tides (and the same number of low tides). With one moon we experience 2 high tides per day since the tidal bulge points towards the moon as well as away from it (actually not quite, since the ocean takes some time to respond the tidal bulge doesn't point exactly towards / away from the moon). If this hypothetical world was completely deep ocean then the tides from the multiple moons would be superimposed on each other. We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers.
