Meet the Captains: 6 Heartfelt Stories from Groove Cruise Miami 2024

Groove Cruise Miami 2024 may be in the rearview, but the memories, music, and connections are still riding high! As the ultimate EDM cruise festival, Groove Cruise is more than just a party at sea, it’s a family. To keep the energy alive, we’re shining the spotlight on six incredible fans whose stories remind us what makes the GC Fam so special.

1. Marisa: Dance Floor Royalty

Marisa knows how to make waves, literally and figuratively! A festival regular and dancefloor queen, she lit up the decks of the Allure of the Seas with her energy and nonstop smile. Whether it was a poolside set or a late night banger in the Theater, Marisa embodied the essence of self-expression and connection that Groove Cruise is all about.

Bianca turned her voyage into a full-blown family affair. Joined by her sister, parents, and a crew of close friends, she captured more than 2,000 unforgettable moments. From themed costume nights to beachside sunsets in Labadee, every moment was IG gold. Groove Cruise is the kind of place where lasting memories are made, and Bianca made plenty.

3. Bryan: From Fan to Festival Star

Groove Cruise isn’t just for fans, it’s for future legends, too! Just ask Bryan Lubliner, who went from longtime GC attendee to DJing his very own party on board. Known for curating "We’re Never Going Home" during Miami Music Week, Bryan is living proof that Groove Cruise is a launchpad for talent and a home for passion.

4. Michelle: 96 Hours of New Friendships

Michelle didn’t just board a cruise, she found a floating community. Over the course of four days, she bonded with people who shared her love of dance music and positive energy. Groove Cruise connects strangers through music, and Michelle’s story is a perfect example of how quickly those bonds form when the vibes are right.

5. Jade: Raving as Healing

Healing takes many forms. For Jade, it comes with pink braids and house beats. A returning Groove Cruiser, Jade finds solace and strength in the GC community. Each year, she reconnects with the founders' family, Karen and John, grounding herself in the tradition and love that built this incredible journey at sea.
