Take an EDM festival, put it on a cruise, and what do you get? GROOVE CRUISE BABY!
Groove Cruise is unlike any other festival, and not only because of the obvious (itโs on a boat, duh). There are 72 hours of NON-STOP music, a 24-hour buffet, artist excursions, restaurants, a day on the beach in the Caribbean, and so much more. Last year was my first year attending with The Festival Babes as a creator, and Iโd be lying if I said I wasnโt really nervous to attend.
I mean, flying from the other side of the country for a festival I wasnโt familiar with on top of going with girls I also wasnโt that close to, I had every right to be nervous! PLUS I didnโt know a ton of the artists and it was my first time going on a cruise ship, EVER.

One thing the rave community has shown me is that you will get rewarded for stepping out of your comfort zone. Saying โYESโ to Groove Cruise 2024 caused the most beautiful butterfly affect of non-stop fun, creating memories with new friends, staying up to watch the sun rise with your new #gcfam, and exploring the Caribbean.
You share a room with 3 other people, 2 bunk beds, and NOT a lot of space – so you can imagine you become friends pretty quickly. I was in a room with girls I didnโt know, and although it can feel like college all over again, you create bonds that will last a lifetime. I mean, these are the girls who are helping you get ready, matching your outfit vibes with you, running up to the top deck to catch the sunset, and dragging you to the dining hall to get dessert at 4 am.
If you ever have the opportunity to attend Groove Cruise, I couldnโt recommend it enough. It kils me that I cannot attend this year, but I will absolutely be going next year. To my Groove Cruise Fam – have fun, be safe, wear sunscreen, always spread PLUR and please take care of my new Festival Babes that are attending this year! I know theyโre in good hands. ๐
