Is RADA on the QM2 only on TAs?

My only voyages on the QM2 have been a couple Transatlantic crossings, and both times I enjoyed the RADA performances, readings, and workshops.

I am now booked for a short segment of the World Tour and got to wondering if the RADA program is only on the TAs or are they onboard for most or all of the QM2 sailings. It would be another thing to look forward to on the upcoming trip.

As far as I am aware (and am very willing to be corrected) RADA performances only appear on TAs on QM2.

Why not email RADA direct ?

They were on the Caribbean cruise last November and performed an abridged version of "The Importance of Being Ernest" one afternoon. I enjoyed it more than any of the evening theater shows I attended.

They are not on every TA.

Pepperrn, Thanks. Yes, I was afraid that was the case.

Pennbank, Excellent idea. I probably should have thought of that. Thanks for the link.

Yes, I have always enjoyed the RADA performances. They did an abridged version of the Mechanicals rehearsal scene from Midsummer Night's Dream that was particularly good. I've never been a big fan of the usual evening singing/dancing production shows; one per voyage will usually suffice.

In 2016 we took the Quebec - NY cruise. The RADA actors were on board for that and the following crossing.

In 2017 we took the same cruise and continued with the crossing. RADA was not on board either segment. When I spoke with cruise director Amanda she said they were not on board because of the two segment cruise - NY to Quebec and return - and also because the e/b crossing had a theme (Space Week). I didn't bother reminding Amanda that RADA was on board the same Quebec cruise the previous year.
