Congratulations to the 2026 Groove Games champions, the Cosmic Crabs of Decks 3, 6, and 7! Can the Cosmic Crabs defend their title in 2027, or will another team rise up and claim the Captain's Cup?
Groove Games is the ultimate shipwide showdown where decks transform into teams and friendly competition rules the waves all weekend long! Every captain is automatically placed on a team based on their deck, and each team has a unique mascot to rally behind.
• Disco Dolphins: Decks 12, 14, 17, 18
• Jellyfish Jammers: Decks 10 & 11
• Turbo Turtles: Decks 8 & 9
• Cosmic Crabs: Decks 3, 6, 7
Earn points for your team by diving into silly challenges, playful competitions, and outrageous antics throughout the sailing. Groove Games events will appear on the daily schedule, and everyone is welcome and encouraged to join. Some events will be open for all captains to participate, while others will randomly select participants, while teammates rally behind them and bring the energy.
The fun goes beyond scheduled events! Teams can also earn points through a shipwide scavenger hunt running all weekend, surprise pop-up challenges, and special superlatives awarded to standout captains.
There is a role for everyone, whether you're competing in challenges, hyping up your squad, dressing the part, or proudly repping your team mascot! You might even spot your favorite artists jumping in to play along. No gear or costume is required, but feel free to let your team inspire your door decor or outfits!
All points earned throughout the weekend will be tracked, and at the end of the sailing one team will be crowned the Groove Games Champions and awarded the Captain’s Cup. Full game details will be revealed closer to sailing, so get ready to show off your team spirit on the high seas!
Please note: Door decorations must be magnetic only. No tape or glue is allowed, peepholes cannot be covered, and no nudity or offensive materials are permitted.
