Deal or No Deal

I'm familiar with the TV show but am wondering how it works as an activity onboard NCL's ships. Is it fun and worth the time and money?

I got up on the stage during our 2015 repositioning cruise out of Boston! I won $148. 2016 I just won an instant win ticket. It's played the same way as the one on TV is.

I believe the cards are $20 each. I've never bought one, I just sit back and enjoy the show. On the larger ships, its played on the big screen in the atrium. Not sure about the smaller ships. It's tons of fun and always draws a huge crowd.

I did this on my last cruise in 2016 on the Getaway. I believe one ticket gets you two plays, and it's a matching game pretty much just like the TV show (on my sailing we actually played in the theater, which made it really exciting to be on the stage with the cruise director).

 

I actually got picked to go on stage for the second game and won $500! It's fun, especially when you have some fun audience interaction.

 

Don't let them intimidate you though!! The last two cases were $500 (mine) and $1 and they all wanted me to deal for around $120...I went to the end, and glad I did! haha

 

As an FYI, any cash winnings are pretty much automatically added to your onboard spending account as refundable OBC, and if there's anything left over go to Guest Services on your last day and they'll cash you out for any remaining balance.

The show is family-friendly. You don't have to buy a card if you don't want. Having a card gives you a chance to go up on stage. If you don't get up on stage, you play along with your card and match the values in the suitcases for prize. You can win lottery scratchers, photo packages, up to a free cruise. Give it a try and have fun.

It's fun to play. I went on stage on the Jade from Venice. As it was a European cruise it was a bit

Less attended than a US Based cruise. Won 218.00. It's a better return than Bingo where the house hold is huge. Best betting odds is in the casino.
