Do they have bingo on Celebrity Equinox? Will be on ship May 29th, Thanks

Do you mean in 2017? If so, the Equinox will be at sea on that date - having departed Miami on May 26th

Sorry, Yes 2017 & yes leaving the 26th. My mistake

Celebrity has Bingo on all their ships when they have sea days. Why not? It is a nice profit maker for the ship.

Does anyone know what the cost is per card?

On our Summit cruise last August there were 3 different prices points for bingo. One board with, if I remember correctly, 3 faces on it was $39, next was 6 faces at $49, and the largest boards were $59. The more expensive package gave you a sheet of 3 extra games (paper) to play on the last bingo game in the session. These had push-outs on the numbers.

You also got a couple of those tear-off games.

The boards are a heavy cardboard and have sliders to cover the numbers.

Pretty sure we only played 3 games per session and bingo is only played on sea days.

I'd assume bingo is the same on all ships across the fleet.

Thanks for the info! Are you allowed to just "share" a board? I mean, my husband and I play the same one?

Also, do you know what the prizes usually are? And how many games they actually play? Thanks!

You could share a board by taking turns sliding the numbers that are called, as the boards are one piece so they cant be separated. If you buy the package that comes with the paper, you cannot tear them to share, this will void them.

We had quite a bit of OBC so we used some of it to play bingo, so that is one way you can spend it if you have it.

Prizes are always different, really depends on how many people are there and how much was spent on packages.

Usually is 3 games per session, the first was always covering the 4 corners, the second was a letter such as making an L or an X, and the last game is what they call a cover all (full card in my neck of the woods) Prizes usually are in the area of between $100-200 for the first two games.

The 1st bingo session of the cruise, the amount for the full card is significantly higher, but you have to get the full card in like 45 #'s which I will tell you as a bingo player is pretty impossible. The winner of this game gets a percentage and the money snowballs each day the full card isn't hit. (it goes up to 46#s next session and so on each day) The last day of the cruise that they play bingo which would probably be your last sea day is the day they give that jackpot away and on our last two cruises it was in excess of $1500. That is the day you will see hoardes of people playing bingo!

$1500 would be nice, but it almost seems like it's not worth the risk to spend $40 to only win between $100-$200. I do love Bingo though... :confused::confused:

This thread was started by the OP in Apr 2017 and I think was sailing in May of 2017 so their cruise is over.

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I for one am glad that the thread has been resurrected. :D I have learned some things about the Bingo on Celebrity. One of which it is way more expensive than the cards played on past cruises. Have never played on Celebrity. Another is how the cards are paired and how the Jackpot gets as high as it does when published in the newsletter. I believe that is why I have been too intimidated to play the game.

Thank you Banana15 for spelling out the rules, cost, etc. of cruise ship Bingo. I may just play a round in a couple of weeks! :D

I didn’t want to start up a whole new thread when there was a Bingo thread out there. I thought we were supposed to try to keep it all in one place!

Yeah, I usually play Bingo for about $12 to win about $500...so paying $39 to win $100-$200 seems a bit steep...but I guess it’s about the fun. I spend a lot more than that in the casino.

And so you are. No shame in resurrecting something to ask a question, especially if the thread isn’t very long. Thank you for resurrecting,

Apologies to CruisersTimesThree for giving credit to the wrong person for posting the rules, prices, etc. Thank you. :)

You're welcome!
