makayjean,

Bingo is normally played using punch cards. They are 1 card for $10 or 3 cards for $20. Hope this helps http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Wow.. that seems quite expensive to me... just one card for one round of bingo for $10. Do you use this card over and over again? How many times?

Most of the time, the cards are good for one game only. Occasionally they will play multiple games with the same cards.

Our feeling is the games are priced way out of line considering the payouts.

I have to say I do agree with you tef, that just seems to much of an obvious rip-off... lol

What about the "free cruise BINGO"???

I know .. I have never won, but isn't this the same as putting your money into the slot machine?

I hope I did not just put my foot in my mouth.

They seem to be moving away from the free cruise bingo, probably because of the controversy caused when there were multiple claims. Only ONE free cruise would be awarded in a drawing if there were multiple bingo winners. People were none too happy about that, because the possible scenario was not adequately explained beforehand.

In January on the Triumph, they held a free cruise raffle instead. The raffle tickets were priced the same as a bingo card would have been ($10 each, 3 for $20).

considering the amount of money they collect for bingo their payouts are not that good, although I did win the 2000.00 jackpot last year , by myself on the Fantasy... you also have to pay taxes on that money too.. It was fun winning it...

My husband won the win a free cruise last year on our 3 night Fascination cruise. We used the prize to sail the Miracle 4/12. On that cruise there were 2 people who called bingo. They each had to draw a bingo ball and whoever drew the highest ball won.
