Bingo dog

[Majesty Fan]

I have not cruised since last summer on Vision? Is the Bingo dog still out there? Or did they drop that?

Yes, the bingo dog was still out there in force 3 weeks ago on the Vision!

Can you use "Bingo" from another cruise, or do you have to buy a new one? We have one from Freedom and are going on Explorer this summer!

According to the Bingo people on Explorer last September, once a Bingo Dog always a Bingo Dog that is reusable on every cruise. I think, though, that I have heard that some ships have different breeds in which case, I'd buy a new one anyway.

O.K., I'll bite - what's the big deal about Bingo the Dog? What does it do?

[vickiw0318]

Yes, inquiring minds want to know!

If you're familiar with the cards you get for $35, you'll understand.

With a "Bingo Dog" (you can buy one for $9.99), whenever you buy a $35, 5-game card (the ones that give you 6 cards for every game), you get another card (single for each game) free. These usually cost $10, so each time you play bingo, you show them your dog and get one of those free.

 

Hope this helps.

I didn't buy the BINGO dog, because I didn't quite understand what it was for. I did win BINGO on the last day! ;) Besides the money, I got a BINGO shirt! I was more excited about the shirt than I was the money ($60.)

 

I have my own lucky BINGO dog at home (see photo.):D

[vickiw0318]

Got it. Thanks so much.

The bingo dog on the Monarch last week was sporting a red toque and scarf (toque translate to winter hat) :D ! I threw mine in the case just in case, and they gave me an extra card.

 

On the Freedom in October, I also received a set of crayola markers. Retail is about 10.00 - so it wasn't a terrible investment!:D

we got a bingo dog in oct on mariner-

were told he was outdated on explorer in nov so had to buy another one-

now , we have 2 to bring on our next cruise :)

he may be good for luck if nothing else?

We went to the Meet & Mingle on the Explorer on March 11, 2007. One of the prizes was a Bingo Dog which I had never heard about. I won it!! We don't play Bingo so I loaned it to another couple from our M & M. They didn't win, but they apparently got the free cards.

 

My Bingo Dog is sitting on a table in our Living Room.

The one I got on Radiance in Alaska is a husky. He didn't bring me a lick of luck but he's awfully cute.

 

The ones they were selling on Splendour in January were the regular Bingo dogs but they wore a scarf and knit cap for a raggae look.

 

So they do have different breeds and sometimes even dress them up a bit. I wish I had bought Raggae Bingo to add to my collection.

 

I wonder if on my upcoming Mediterranean cruise he'll be dressed up like a belly dancer or something. :p ;) :D

Gee - Does the luck expire when the dog does?:eek:

or maybe it becomes bad luck:eek: :eek:
