Recent Bingo Players??

[lilkickgang]

So I know last cruise I passed on bingo although I dont recall the cost, I know it was more than I wanted to pay...but was curious if any recent cruisers recall the current rate to play? I know my girls would like to play on our upcoming cruise...

 

Thanks!

I know I won 1000 dollar Bingo on my last carnival cruise, I think I spend about 60.

On Adventure last week it was $22 for a half pack and $32 for a full pack.

Half pack is 3 cards for each of 4 games and full pack is 6 cards for each of 4 games.

 

Prizes ranged from $200-$560, we didn't win though :(

I payed $55 on Explorer to play "electronic bingo" I think the computer held 30 cards.

It definitely wasn't like the Bingo I was used to playing! The computer did it all.

 

I didn't win. But it was fun!

On Freedom a couple of weeks ago it was $32 for 6 cards, or $55 for electronic boards that gave you 33 chances and they were doing a buy 2 get one free offer with them. I only played the cards - didn't win at bingo, but did get a t-shirt(!) and free cocktail :)

We paid $64 for both paper and electronic, and won a free cruise. :D

I really hope it said something like, "I didn't win the cruise, but I won this nifty t-shirt so hey, I got that going."

I wish that they would get rid of the electronic cards and lower the price a bit.

Without as much interaction from the audience/participants/staff it really changed the experience.

BINGO used to be more fun and I now play less than I used to.

On independence last week and was same as above.

We were on the Allure in June, and the electronic and paper was $80. I was amazed how many played! Too rich for our blood.

Cruise ship bingo is pretty much a rip-off.

 

The prices are very steep.

 

You see tons of people playing.

 

But the payouts are relatively small.

 

Because only a small portion of sales goes to the prizes...

Thanks for all the responses...it is certainly a little pricey, but now I know what to expect and can decide if I want to splurge on a game or two:cool:

 

25 more days:D

I dont normally enjoy bingo either does my wife. But we decided to give it a try last cruise and it was 32$, like other posts it was 6 cards.

 

I dont think we were set once . only reason we did was because it was from a Crown Loft Suite

Just off the Vision yesterday and we played once. The prices were:

 

3 cards per game with 4 games - $22

6 cards per game with 4 games - $32

Electronic reader 24 cards with games - $45

 

They also offered pull tab games at $5 per card.

 

Once was enough for us and we remembered why we didn't like it.

 

If you do play, the Electronic reader seems to provide a good chance at winning. One guy had one and he won at least 2 of the 4 games.

Sweet!! I was wondering whether to play, sounds great to me :D

Congrats! :)

 

We were on Jewel 2 weeks ago and it was $67 for the paper cards and electronic thingy. The 7 year old is in charge of the electronic one and I get to fold the paper. It was fun, but we didn't win.
