Rare oskidunker Posted January 16, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Yes but you can use a pen if you dont want to buy one. The bigger the ship, the more it is a rip Off Stopped playing when the price went up and the payouts did not. Huge money maker for the cruise line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socaljo Posted January 16, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Do they still use the daubers for playing bingo on the ship? Thanks for thinking of that! I just added it to our packing list! We've been using the same ones for the last few cruises! I probably would've remembered them, eventually! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably would've remembered them, eventually! :D My DW has used the same dauber on the last 3 cruises and will continue to pack it as long as it works. I would like to say she is being frugal, but then she usually has at least one or two Bloody Mary's :eek: while playing the max number of cards they sell. :p So I'm not sure? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobsterman63 Posted January 19, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Be warned, there is no huge jackpot on the last day. It is a straight $5000 for 50 numbers or less all week and $400 for the final coverall game. The Snowball has melted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted January 19, 2016 #10 Share Posted January 19, 2016 $5000 is enough for me. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdcruisin Posted January 19, 2016 #11 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I'd be more than happy with $5000. Actually, I'd be more than happy with $400. Any win is a good win:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got off the Grand today and they had the normal bingo format. Nothing had changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsmum Posted January 19, 2016 #14 Share Posted January 19, 2016 We got off the Grand on Dec 30th and the Bingo was $100, $200, $300 and $400 all week. No snowball. We did not play like we used to. 2 sessions and we gave up it just didn't have the excitement. We used to hope for big crowds to up the winnings!

That's interesting because they have the snowball now. Maybe bingo turnout was so low they decided to change it back to the old format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nursemistyb40 Posted January 20, 2016 #17 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Sorry but first time cruiser. How much is a game of bingo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoghornLeghorn Posted January 20, 2016 #18 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I just use the yellow or light green highlighter I bring for the Patter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsmum Posted January 21, 2016 #19 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I believe it was $40 for 6 cards. You can buy single cards ( $10 rings a bell) and 3 cards ($?? sorry) Someone will reply with firm prices but this gives you a ball park for now. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drog Posted January 21, 2016 #20 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Just got off the Regal on Sunday, you can only win the $5,000 if you get a bingo on the first 50 numbers drawn, this is on every game and no giveaway at the end like I have seen done on other cruises. Also did anyone else think the Vista Lounge should not be the venue for this. The seating just does not work as half the seats face the wrong direction not to mention they use it to display artwork that blocks and occupies other seats. There must be something better.
