Party Cove℠
This is where the energy turns up. Party Cove is built around the pool and The Floating Flamingo℠, Royal Caribbean’s massive two-story swim-up bar. Royal calls it the world’s largest swim-up bar. The area is designed around music, DJs, drinks, and a lively pool-party atmosphere, making it a natural home for the Groove Cruise energy.
Paradise Beach℠
Paradise Beach offers more of the classic Bahamas beach experience, with white sand, tropical water, a pool, swim-up bar, food, drinks, and space to lounge. It is home to the Beach Stage, the main stage for the destination party.
Chill Beach℠
As the name suggests, Chill Beach is made for slowing things down. Guests can hit the beach, hang poolside, grab food and drinks, or get competitive with beach games. The closest music is at the Shallow End Pool Stage, giving Captains a chance to kick back while enjoying the sets.
Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is located just off Nassau on Paradise Island. Royal Caribbean provides dedicated ferry transportation between the pier and the beach club.
Captains can make their way from Allure of the Seas to Royal Beach Club Paradise Island using the dedicated transportation provided. No need to arrange your own ride to join the Destination Day festivities!

Through the Whet Foundation's Destination Donation initiative, Groove Cruise Miami 2027 Captains have the opportunity to give back to the Bahamian community by volunteering for a special trip to Ranfurly Homes for Children during Destination Day.
Volunteers will get to see firsthand how the GCFAM's contributions are making an impact, spend time connecting with the children, and support an organization dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing environment for children in need. For many Captains, Destination Donation becomes one of the most meaningful highlights of their Groove Cruise experience.
Want to join us? Sign up for the Destination Donation volunteer trip through your Whet Travel account from October 21 through December 21, 2026.
Even if you can't attend the volunteer trip, you can still make a difference! This year's initiative focuses on supporting an agriculture project at Ranfurly Homes, helping provide resources to grow fresh produce while teaching children valuable skills through hands-on gardening and agriculture.
Captains can contribute through monetary donations, physical donations, or purchasing items from the Destination Donation wishlist. Every contribution helps build a sustainable project that will continue benefiting the children long after Groove Cruise leaves Nassau.
