When you hear the words Groove Cruise what do you think of? For me it’s community, over the top parties, legendary artists, and a family like atmosphere that’s created life long fans. I’ve always been fascinated by cruise ship festivals, and unfortunately have not had the privilege of attending one yet, BUT after countless stories from friends I knew it was the right time to cover a fan favorite: Groove Cruise!

In this episode, Whet Travel's Managing Director John "Skeeter" Porrata joins me to share the inside scope on the inner workings of their events, how cruise ship events differ from music festivals on land and what their team has done to cultivate such an incredible culture for their fans 🛳
