We are now about halfway through 2024, which means we’re a little over six months to go before the sold-out Groove Cruise 2025 sets sail on the gigantic Allure of the Seas. While the ship, destination, and lineup have all been announced, there are still plenty of goodies to trickle out as the date approaches. One thing that Groove Cruisers eagerly anticipate is the announcement of the daily costume themes. Each day and night features a fun theme, and the Groove Cruisers do not mess around. You’ll barely see anybody in normal clothing throughout the entire trip. The effort that goes into these themes will blow your mind.
In 2025, the festival will kick off on Thursday, January 23 with the annual theme of Represent, where attendees can wear something to represent their hometown or favorite sports team. First-time Groove Cruise attendees or “Virgins” are encouraged to wear white. Additionally, returning Groove Cruise attendees can elect to wear a specific color based on how many Groove Cruise events they’ve attended. he first evening theme will be Nauti Sleepover, which is sure to be filled with naughty pajamas and lingerie. With nonstop music programming, attendees will dance the night away dressed in sleepover-inspired outfits..
The following day, Groove Cruise will boast two vibrant themes for attendees to revel in. The festival will transform into 50 Shades of Candyland, with unlimited costume ideas from the nostalgic 1950s board game or any sweet treat. Attendees can explore the creative costumes of Queen Frostine, Princess Lolly, King Kandy, and more. In the evening, Hollywood attire and movie characters will flood the Allure of the Seas for Stars on Deck. The “lights, camera, action” theme will promote costumes such as the attendees’ favorite cartoon character or movie star.
For the destination day on Saturday, January 25, attendees will disembark at the idyllic location of Falmouth with the tropical theme of Tropic Like It’s Hot. The beach day will excite Captains to wear hula costumes, fruit-forward gear, or island fashion. Back on the ship, the late-night hours will boast the playful theme OnlyFarms – to welcome cowboys, farm animals, and more. Transforming into a mystical farmland, Groove Cruise Captains will don themselves in their country best.
The fourth and final day will feature the daytime Neon Splash to brighten up the ship with classic rave gear to soak up the sun. The festival will close out the evening with the fantasy-inspired Realm of Enchantment to welcome fairies, unicorns, dragons, witches, wizards, and so much more.
