Pricing Question About BINGO...

[dvdkndy]

Getting ready to cruise on the Splendor in 2 weeks. My wife loves to play Bingo and was curious what the price breakdown was. I have to keep tabs on her Bingo because she can lose control! :) Just did not know if different games ran at different costs. Any insight would be wonderfully helpful!

following - we want some bingo info too. Wife loves it and I'm interested in playing. I did a search and found a thread that was over 5 years old so not sure how much of it applies now...

Overpriced compared to our local Indian casinos. In the $20/3games range. Carnival is now using daubers.

IIRC

 

They were $20 for 3 cards

$30 for 9 cards

and $40 for 12 cards + a purple card with 3 each. and a free dauber.

 

The Dauber was $2 by itself.

 

And corresponding pull and "win" chances.

 

My DW racked up plenty of the $30 games (still has her dauber from last years cruise.

 

But when my DW's went to help her play, well...we now have 3 daubers :rolleyes: all different colors!

Bingo was once very affordable. It has become outrageous in pricing. I have not played bingo since 2003.

BINGO on Cruise Ships is probably the most expensive in the world. I would almost say its a rip-off. WIfe spends a fortune each cruise.

Compared to Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Princess and Celebrity, I thought Carnival bingo prices were great and agree with the costs listed in the post above. They are the cheapest of all the major cruise lines.

 

I was on the Conquest in April 2016 and they offered a couple of different Bingo 'incentives':

1)one session was $10 off whichever package you chose, i.e. if you normally played the $30 package, it was now $20.

2)if you play one session they gave out green order forms for the next session that enabled you to get 3 free jackpot cards. They handed out the green order forms at every session. That's a lot of free jackpot cards. :D

3)one of the sessions included 4 games, instead of the normal 3, for the same package prices. For two of the games, you used the same bingo card, just layered the #s on top of each other. This was an interesting twist.

 

Good luck!

Funny :) I did a double take but figured that is what you meant.

The price to play is high and the win is low. IMO I love Bingo but only played once on a Carnival ship and never again.
