pja&raa Posted April 25 #1 Share Posted April 25 So my title pretty much says it. Can someone tell what this is, how does it work, when do they play it and what can you win. Just looking hood a little more information than what we are finding on the Celebrity website. Thanks in advance for any information you are willing to share.

pja&raa Posted April 25 Author #2 Share Posted April 25 Just thought I should have said that I am familiar with the Deal or No Deal game show - I just don’t know how it translates to an activity on a cruise ship.🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PTC DAWG Posted April 25 #3 Share Posted April 25 Typical game show ran by the casino on board…learn to play Craps, much better odds. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HLR Posted April 25 #4 Share Posted April 25 It's pretty much just like on TV, but no models....electronic LED screen with the cases.Very basically you buy the equivalent to a bingo card and if they call your card number [don't quote me!] you get to be the one on stage. Everyone else with a card can win a prize [like a Celebrity pencil with no eraser!] if their card matches the cases or something like that. The last big winner I saw won...I think it was ... $1!

Tierun Posted April 25 #5 Share Posted April 25 The prize is cold hard cash. The grand prize is free cruise. I’ve won $10 and $100 the 2 times I’ve done it. A guy won the free cruise on Ascent. There’s a discount in the cruise planner if you pre order the cards, but if you buy onboard a perk of captain club is a free extra card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise was won both times we played, unfortunately we weren’t the winners but fun anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commodoredave Posted April 25 #7 Share Posted April 25 Better than the bingo on Silversea where the winner gets points to use in buying trinkets at the end of the cruise. Talk about killing the spirit of bingo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted April 25 #8 Share Posted April 25 (edited) I know someone that won the free cruise. It's really a casino comp'ed cruise so you have to pick from their limited list of sailings. I'm assuming you have to pay taxes/fees and anything you spend onboard like drinks wifi gratuities. Far from free. They ended up not taking it as none of the dates worked with their schedule.

Kevin Posted April 25 #10 Share Posted April 25 Getting called up on stage makes it fun. I got called up on stage on a Carnival cruise. I was just sitting down trying to figure out how you played as an audience member and saw my name up on the screen. Could have walked away with $400 but pushed my luck one time to many and ended up with less than $200. I don't remember the exact amounts now. I still had a lot of fun, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I either Played DorNoD or just watched the 3rd. person drawn for the "Free Spin" at the end had a 50% chance of winning a "Free Cruise" Until last weeks on Eclipse when DorNoD was run Twice and the 3rd. person that got the "Free Spin" ONLY received a Cash prize as all 8 possible spots for the counter to land on were $25 to $250. No Free Cruise! The 3rd person in one game got the $25.00. Because the Spin is Virtual and Not a real mechanical device the Casino could manipulate the stopping point? By the way the "Free Cruise" is a 7 Day Caribbean cruise of Celebrities choice in an Inside Cabin and You pay he port fees and taxes. I saw one lady from Australia win it and decided Getting there was not worth taking the "Free Cruise." I have been selected to be the one to Open the cases 3 times and the most I ever got was $132.00 and the top prize of $1000.00 usually disappears Early in the game.

Talk about killing the spirit of bingo! Thanks for the warning! If that's the case I won't be playing Bingo. I will be on Silversea in a few weeks and I already know it will be One and Done because their Early Dining is 7:30PM and I like to eat at 5:30 or 6pm.

Room service is 24/7. Plus, you can have free caviar and champagne sent to your room. Having said that, the bingo still disappoints! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
