Have you ever played Bingo on a cruise?

Question

Have you tried the Bingo games on a cruise? Was it worth it, give enough bang for the buck? I was thinking of trying it on my next cruise if I have time. It would be cheaper than the Casino. I saw a couple who won a free 4 night cruise playing Bingo. They were excited, high fiveing everyone around. I thought that was pretty cool. Play bingo and win a cruise. What did you think if you've played?

Answer 1

yep, I have played it. It was a good way to spend a rainy day. One guy in my group won $500!

Answer 2

You may want to consider playing bingo online in case you have not played it before. I suggest checking out Wink Bingo. This is a fairly new bingo site with insane promotions. http://www.winkbingo.com

Answer 3

Celebrity Cruise Lines had bingo and it was where you poke a hole in your numbers.  It was fun.  The final bingo that they had at the end of the cruise had a prize where you won a 4 or 5 night cruise.

Answer 4

It looks like a lot of fun and I have thought about it, but I'm not much into gambling. I hate to loose.

Answer 5

I can only speak about Carnival since that is the only cruise line I played bingo on. Typically they held bingo games throughout the day but I only played when they were immediately preceding the evening show or some other event in the main lounge. They are fairly inexpensive ($10 for a three card game and you usually play three or four games)and the payouts are fairly good $100 to $500 with some large prizes (like the free cruise) at special games. Generally there are not a lot of people there either. It's a good way to pass 15 or 20 minutes while waiting for an event.

Answer 6

It is expensive!  I would rather save my $$$ and take advantage of the free activities.  The 20 minute game isn't worth the cash you play.  We only played because my wife is a bingo fanatic!

Answer 7

MY HUSBAND LOVES TO PLAY BINGO ON EVERY CRUISE WE HAVE  TAKEN BUT HE HAS NEVER WON.  PERSONALLY I WOUL LIKE TO SPEND MY MONEY IN THE CASINO THEN PLAY BINGO WITH A BUNCH OF PEOPLE.  BUT LIKE THE COMMENT ABOVE IT IS A GOOD WAY TO SPEND ABOUT 20 MINUTES WHICH IS WHAT IT TAKES TO DO A FULL GAME.  SOMETIMES DEPENDING ON HOW MANY WINNERS THE POT IS ABOUT 100 TO 500 DOLLARS WITH THE LAST DAY GIVING AWAY A CRUISE AND 2500.00.  YOU ARE ON A CRUISE DO EVERYTHING THAT YOU CAN AND ENJOY IT.

Answer 8

ya! i played but i lost every time!

Answer 9

I played once on my carnival cruise and it was not worth the money. It was $20 per card and one game only.

Answer 10

Like all games of chance, if you're the lucky winner, it's a good game. However there is only one winner and if there are 200 people playing, the odds are 200 to1 that the winner will be you. For a bit of fun and a good laugh, it's worth the money. As a money making / prize winning exercise it's a waste of time unless you are the winner.
