Deal or no deal on the Edge

[Octavias]

Where can I find details about the deal or no deal game?  I pre-bought cards during one of the sales but am now worried that the timing might conflict with other things I have scheduled.  Does it happen more than once?  Also, because it was (relatively) inexpensive during the sale, I bought the 4 pack.  I guess I thought I would be able to then play 4 times, but now wonder if that’s true.  Any insight would be appreciated.  Ps.  I’ve never watched or played it before.  I’m planning to find a re-run to watch before we go.

They usually have 2 game sessions and will be posted in the daily paper.  It is always on a sea day.  

 

The 4 cards are to be used for 1 game session.   

 

You do not have to attend to play the cards.   All you have to do is check the cards at the casino after the game and they will tell you if you won anything.    It would be like a lotto card for the matches.   If the dollar amount matches the dollar amount on your card for that box number you have a match.   I think you need 2 matches to win something.   The more matches the more you win.  
 

If you don’t attend you won’t have the chance to be the playing contestant,  or a chance to win a cruise.   
 

I doubt it would conflict with anything of importance unless you have a nooner scheduled.  🥰😍 It is a fun and entertaining activity.

Warning:  ask when and where card pick up is if prepurchasing cards.  The Planner and App use language of "sale," but also mean pick up... At the Casino and not the Club before the show.  If you don't pick the card up the Casino will attempt to keep your money until the end of the cruise.

Personally I think it's a money grab.  It's fun for the person picked to go on stage and play but, IMO, it ends there.  We had just one game on my Dec. cruise, I fell for it and purchased the 3 card package.  I did sit in the audience and di the card reveal, but could have been anywhere doing that and if winner, just gone to casino to collect.  One and done for me, even with OBC, I can find something better to use it on.

To add to my previous post we pre purchased during a Black Friday  sale.   I think we  got 3 cards for $24.    I was planning on using my CC status to get the 4 for price of 3 when I picked up the cards.   Found out that the benefit doesn’t and I think it states that when purchasing.  I didn’t read the fine print.  It was still a better deal. 
 

The sale time and location will be posted in the daily paper. It is usually a few hours prior to the game.  One time it was at the casino cashier and on our last cruise it was in the Reflection Lounge.   I stood in line while my wife left to find a some seats in the Reflection lounge.    It was a very long line.  When I got up there I found out that I needed my wife’s sea pass card because they were bought in her name.   The clerk told me  that I wouldn’t have to wait in line again, get her card and come back to the front.   You know how that turned out.   There were a lot of angry passengers telling me where to go.  I still had to wait while getting all of the rude and hostile comments because she was processing another passenger.   That person was getting hostile because she wanted the CC benefit of 4 cards for the price of the 3  that she purchased prior to while on sale.   She wanted to see it in writing that the benefit didn’t apply.   She wanted to see a supervisor and was getting very nasty.  The clerk asked her to move aside while waiting for one to come but she refused to move.   The clerk now ignoring her started to process my cards.   The person waiting for a supervisor yelled at her that she couldn’t  give me those cards as they were hers and she wanted  them.   While waiting  I found that I wasn’t the only one that needed to get the other sea pass card as others also came to the front because of the same problem.  This became a problem because they were now trying to get ahead of me.    Make sure you have the sea pass card with the name that they were purchased in.   
 

On that cruise I won $5 in casino play.   I played VP to use it and hit 4 aces with a 3 on my last $1.25.    Won $500

 

 

There was a lot of drama involved for no reason.   Things weren’t very clear.   
 

1. You don’t get 4 cards for the price of 3 using  the CC benefit if purchased with a discount promo

2. Have the sea pass card with the name of the person used to purchase them or have that person stand in line to get them 

 

Another tip is to play the game that is earlier in the cruise.   Most lower amount of winnings on the card are in casino play.   The higher amounts like $300 and above is in cash.  If you wait until the game that may be played on the last day you may find the casino very crowded to play your winnings as people are using up their SBC.   Plus you may decide to play again if you enjoyed the first game.

Thanks for the heads up.   We would have divided up too and inevitably sent the wrong person to pick up the cards!   What a nice win!
