Booking Your Spot

To reserve your time in ‘The Groupie,’ all you need to do is add your name and cabin number to a sign-in sheet available at the Groupie desk.

Rooms to Suit Your Party Size

‘The Groupie’ offers three private karaoke rooms, each catered to different group sizes:

The Blue Room: Perfect for intimate gatherings of 2-4 people, this cozy space creates an ideal setting for heartfelt duets and solos.
The Pink Room: A slightly larger room designed for groups of 4-6 people, providing more space to showcase your vocal talents and share laughs with friends.

A Karaoke Playground

Each ‘Groupie’ room boasts a large-screen TV equipped with a tablet device that unlocks a vast digital catalogue of songs. With thousands of song choices at your fingertips, you’re sure to find your favorite tunes and chart-toppers to sing along to. The tablet also enables you to adjust various settings, such as changing the key of the backing track, managing the volume, and experimenting with special effects like echo and reverb.

Sing, Share, and Laugh

With two wired microphones provided in each room, you and your friends can become the stars of the show. Unleash your inner Mick Jagger or Madonna as you take the stage and perform like never before. The only limitation is the cable length of the microphones, so you may have to stay close to the booth, but that won’t dampen the excitement of your karaoke adventure.
