jean s Posted February 7, 2009 #2 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I won $400 in the casino on the Coral a couple of years ago. I'm sure I've paid it back to Princess a couple of times over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickEk Posted February 7, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I won $250 playing bingo, but, sigh, there were 7 of us, so it turned out to be $35... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollexx Posted February 7, 2009 #4 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Won enough playing blackjack once to pay for the cruise 2x over.. Unfortuantly didn't take the DW's advice to give it to her. :D Over the next 12 days gave it all back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcrow72 Posted February 7, 2009 #6 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I hit the jackpot ($1,000) three times in a week on the same machine on the Crown. Played it a lot though! Still came out way ahead and had a blast doing it. This past cruise on the CB, couldn't get one single machine to let me play for 5 minutes much less win anything. Didn't see anyone else winning anything either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsqrl Posted February 7, 2009 #7 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I won the mileage pool one day on the old Island -- can't recall how much I won, maybe about $100?, but I do remember being jokingly accused of insider knowledge since the ship's third officer (the navigator) dined at our table. But I swear, it was a legitimate win! Oh, and I won $25 playing a slot machine on my last night on the Dawn last March, but it doesn't count since the original stake put into the machine wasn't my money but my friend's -- naturally, I gave the winnings to him.

newmexicoNita Posted February 7, 2009 #8 Share Posted February 7, 2009 There have to be some lucky people out there. Tell us the biggest thing you ever won, in the casino, bingo game, etc. Well, lets see? On our first cruise we won a pair of emerald ear rings, that was in the days when the port talks were fun and the after talks more fun: I won a cool painting in a raffle from Park West on NCL about 7 years ago. I have won as much as $150 in a casino in one night (but never did it make up for the money I had lost or lost afterward) I won a spa treatment on NCL Spirit a couple of months ago.. But actually our favorite winning, a stupid (2 of them) leather book marks, each worth about 10 cents I am sure. Nita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyFred Posted February 7, 2009 #9 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I hit the same Wheel of Fortune machine 6 times for $200 each time....all in the same night within a couple of hours. Yes, I think it was broken but I did not complain to anyone. Seriously, I came out over 1000 to the good. Another guy got on it when I went to the bathroom and when I came back, he hit it for 500 but played all of it back without cashing out. It took a while but he never hit it for more than 50 so I left it alone after that. That was on the RCCL Jewel of the Seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwahl1 Posted February 7, 2009 #17 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I was a winner of about $650 on the horse races. See they had these wooden stick ponies that you bought in an auction ($40??). You decorated them, a few days later out by the pool they had prelims. and a final race. People paid to get in on the winnings, side bets, wagers, etc. Then they would roll dice, and advance these wooden horse down some carpetand I won on the roll of the dice! Sure helped pay that $900 ship account.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times Prince Posted February 7, 2009 #19 Share Posted February 7, 2009 There have to be some lucky people out there. Tell us the biggest thing you ever won, in the casino, bingo game, etc.In one cruise we won three paintings at the Princess art auctions. Along with the paintings we had purchased, I told my wife "I guess we're redecorating our house!" ;) I checked online and the same signed, limited edition paintings ran about $250 each from the site for the artists in France.:D Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princessgal Posted February 7, 2009 #20 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I won on the Princess Millionaire. I guessed nine in a row but quit at the last prize which was a painting. My prizes included a Princess tote, a rubber dolphin, a drink of the day, dinner at Sabatino's( which I couldn't use because I won it the last night of the cruise at 6:30 pm), a bottle of champagne, a key ring from the casino, the artist's drawing of the ship, a mug and my favorite which was a metal replica of the ship which had been given out to crew members only for Christmas. I also won $1600 in a 5 cent slot machine(but put it all back plus) I won $2700 in a bingo game in which we voted to give the first bingo 75% and 2nd bingo 25%. After I called bingo the next number resulted in two winners who shared the remaining $900. Unfortunately I would say I am more unlucky than lucky. I seldom get upgrades and I tend to make deposits rather than withdrawals in the casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellbeachjim Posted February 7, 2009 #22 Share Posted February 7, 2009 On our last cruise I won a free body fat analysis at the spa. Since I'm "undertall" for my weight, it was the last thing I wanted to win. :eek: The spa folks wouldn't let me trade it for something I'd actually use, so I gave it away to someone else leaving the drawing.
