kelleyd Posted October 19, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 19, 2022 What are these cards we can pre purchase? Is it an actual game or just a chance at playing the game? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarthByShip Posted October 19, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 19, 2022 A chance to be chosen "as the player". If chosen, you would be the one to choose the cases. However, each card is barcoded and everyone else "plays" along with their card compared to what cases the chosen one picks. Most of the prizes were casino cash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can win some free play if not picked. So for $50 each we won a total of $45 - fun once but won't do it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgo61 Posted October 20, 2022 #8 Share Posted October 20, 2022 My husband won a "free cruise". When he enquired it was a choice of 2 sailings. One was Caribbean in hurricane season, other was west coast (we live on the east coast). Inside cabin. We declined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieV Posted October 20, 2022 #9 Share Posted October 20, 2022 We played because my teen thought it was fun. I'm not happy that the prizes under $50 were all not just casino credit but SLOT credit. That was basically useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiddieKruzer Posted October 21, 2022 #11 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I’ve played this on NCL and during my last cruise something dawned on me - it’s all electronically calculated - making it easily manipulated! How does one know the $ value of a case isn’t truly assigned at time the final case is opened? These cruise lines know how many cards are sold, who holds a card with X amount of matches. Etc. That’s how they tell you how the audience is doing. on this one particular NCL game, the cruise line sold let’s say sold 200 cards at $35 each ($7,000 in sales). They gave back $1.00 from the “winning case”, 4 photos (worth Pennies), and 1 $ $50 winner. Later in the same week, the outcomes from the other games were similar. That’s CrAzY! Same thing with ELECTRONIC bingo. At $50 a pack of bingo cards, Let’s pull some real balls! who overseas (pun intended) these at sea money making scams?!?!

NorthStarStateCruiser Posted December 10, 2022 #12 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Question, can you get the Captain's club bonus card(s) when you make the purchase via the cruise planner or only when you purchase onboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miched Posted December 10, 2022 #13 Share Posted December 10, 2022 We used the Elite Plus benefit of 4 cards for the price of 3. When buying the at the cashiers window the cashier took one card and did something on the computer and then said this card is a winner. We weren’t drawn to be a contestant and I think it it better not to be. We ended up winning $400 cash on that card by matching 6 numbers. My wife claims he did something to the card. I said he was just making the charge to our account. Coincidence?🤷♂️ We also won some smaller amounts that were for casino play. There weren’t many playing and it was held in Celebrity Central. Neither person drawn to play won much money. One did win a cruise but said it was about worthless. It was a 3 night Caribbean cruise in a inside cabin. I seen her later and she said they wouldn’t be using it because of the available dates and the travel cost involved. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SRQbeachgirl Posted December 10, 2022 #14 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Wow, these prizes sound pathetic. At least on Carnival they give out cold hard cash, and decent amounts, too. So do they not do Bingo at all? Or do they do both Bingo and Deal or No Deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted December 10, 2022 #15 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Once in a while, the activities staff still run a bingo game but it is just for fun and there are no prizes involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserMickey Posted December 10, 2022 #16 Share Posted December 10, 2022 We played Deal or No Deal on our last cruise. Won $50 in casino credit (could choose slots or table games) and then we played and ended up with $250, so a net winning of $200. It was fun and it could have easily gone the other way, but we chalk it up to the cost of an evening’s entertainment. We put the $200 away and will be using it as spending $ on our next cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
