Bingo prices

I love a good game of Bingo on the ship, but I have to admit the sticker price always shocks me....notice I didn't say stops me ;)

 

Those that have cruised and played on other lines ( no need to name, names since this is NCL board)

 

 

Are NCL Bingo package prices ($29, $49 and $69) in line with others?

Bingo costs an arm and a leg. The payouts are pitiful. Truly robbery on the high seas.

I'd say they do seem to be.

We did a short 3 day 2 night to Grand Bahama at the beginning of July. Night 2 we did Bingo and it was $40 for 3 boards (1 for each game). They were the type where they had like 3/4 of a hole and you fold back/down the paper for the # called on your board.

 

This time last year did a 7 day through a whale tail ship and we played bingo. It was around $40 or $50. It included 3 boards for each of 3 games (so 9 boards total) and a "collectible dabber". I won the 1st game on the 1st night and got a $100 OBC. That was nice as we hadn't originally had any extra $$ for drinks and the OBC winnings covered bingo and a few drinks.

I think they are inline, although I don't have specific numbers to cite. We've been on NCL, RCCL, and CCL recently and they all seemed to be about the same.

It is a factor of pot and players ... someone has to win. If you see 100 players, you have a 1 in 100 chance of winning. I don’t think the payoff is worth the play given the house take. If they have a few free cruise in play, then go for it.

Well, reality can be funny too. I happened to like your answer very much and I get it, bingo = 'pirates of the seas'. Maybe I even play a game to use/waste some of my OBC, we'll see. Thanks.:D:D

I refuse to pay .I much rather put the money in a slot machine.

Last time we played bingo on the Epic, we were double charged $69. What a hassle trying to get the money back.

 

Bingo is fixed. Its reserved for newbies or people who love red tickets.

It's fixed. They know every winning card ahead of time.

 

Don't forget to buy your pull tabs.
