A NOTE FOR GUESTS ON SHOW TIMES, PERFORMANCE VENUES AND PUBLIC SHOWS
We are posting this as a way of addressing some of the comments on the surveys over the past several years. We would love to pick the exact time and location of each of our shows for the entire week, assuring you the best shows possible. But unlike at most of our festivals, on the cruise the cruise company gives us the times and locations they have available. Generally, our only choice is to say yes or no. Luckily, or relationship with RC has given us a lot of leeway. We have contacted other cruise lines, and not been offered anything as generous.
Most of our shows are held in Studio-B because its one of only two rooms that can accommodate our group on the ship. We would LOVE to use the theater more, but unfortunately it’s occupied every evening.
We always try to provide the best and we hope that those of you who have attended multiple cruises see it getting better every year!
