starly94 Posted January 13, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (Raises Hand) I DID, I DID! :D:eek: Just got off Fascination today. We had a great time, after a little fog delay to start off. I usually play bingo, slots, cash craze, raffles, etc. But this time I actually WON! I get to take a free 3, 4, or 5 day cruise. So now it's time to start planning the next one. Sorry but I just had to tell somebody! Have a good night all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlendaleCruiser Posted January 13, 2012 #4 Share Posted January 13, 2012 My friend won a free cruise for two by playing bingo. Coverall. They put her in the best suite, but the taxes she paid were equal to an interior on the same cruise. Still.......................I'd take it.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveabby Posted January 13, 2012 #5 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Yes, Congrats! Anyways, I didn't but DW did...Funny story (or at least I think so).. Pride, 2008 (out of Long Beach) final night of cruise and after not winning at bingo and slots all week, my DW says she does not have a raffle ticket for the free (?) cruise... I think, oh boy, here goes another $ 10.00 down the drain. She goes up and buys a ticket...the seller say she can by another 5 tickets (first 1 is $10.00) for another $ 10.00. She say " only need 1 ticket to win". Sure enough, her ticket is drawn and she wins the cruise. We did the same itinerary the following year on the Splendor.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jen7079 Posted January 13, 2012 #7 Share Posted January 13, 2012 We have!! This was back when if you bought a special bingo package you received a raffle ticket (they might still do that) my mom and I purchased ours at the same time and they handed us our raffle tickets together. We decided, since we couldn't tell whose raffle tickets was whose, that if she won she had to take me and if I won I had to take her! Well she won and she took me. Best mom ever!

Man of Many Hats Posted January 13, 2012 #8 Share Posted January 13, 2012 We won a 3, 4, 5, or 7 day cruise on the Valor in December. It was kind of funny we bought bingo cards and our son was next in line, we were the lucky ones and he bought losing tickets just after me. Haven't decided when or where we're going yet but we have several months before the certificate expires. We'll go somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted January 13, 2012 #9 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Yes we won and took a wonderful western carib cruise, one of our best. Definitely worth the $20 ticket and an upgrade from the OV to the balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw2this Posted January 13, 2012 #10 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Oh boy:(, now I must budget for raffle tickets. How often do they do this on a 7 day. Did I read correctly, that tickets are 1 for $10 or 6 for $20? How many prizes do they give out for each raffle? Other than the free cruise what are the potential prizes? Do they sell them thru BV? What are the odds compared to playing bingo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misguidedangel Posted January 13, 2012 #11 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I did too!!!! I won a 3-7 day onboard the Conquest in February 2008. I used it for a seven day Exotic West on the Valor and upgraded to a Deck 6 balcony... If you opt for a ship with balconies and want a balcony, then ask for a price quote for a upgrade to a balconyon X deck and they will tell you. Also, be very specific about what cabin/or area on the ship you want to be. I said I want to be in/around the central elevators and I got an excellent cabin. Happy free cruising! Well, almost free....taxes and fees... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
