What's the fee for bingo?

I mean to buy a card to play...my mom is researching cruises and has asked me and I can't find the answer anywhere. Thanks!

I believe it is $20.........but its been probably a year since I played and certainly the cost could have gone up.

It is $20.00 for a 3 card play or $10.00 for one card.

It was $20 (3-card/ 4 games) + $5 (bonus card) on the Zuiderdam (Nov 07). Last game "cover-all" w/jackpot awarded if hit w/ under 50 balls drawn (jackpot grows each session unless hit). Last afternoon of cruise is "winner take all" irregardless of the 50.

It was $10 for 1 card, $20 for 3 cards and we played on "silly hat" day so there was a free bonus card. :D

Y'all are great, thanks so much for the info...Mom's weighing her options. I love Cruise Critic!

You can pay cash or charge it to your room. I paid $20 for 3 games (or $10 for 1 game), same as other posters have said...

 

Hint: (HAL secret?): On our cruise, the DJ guy leading bingo always asked for a "Bingo Commissioner" at the start of the games to "inspect the balls." :rolleyes: Whoever volunteered usually got a free mug...so step up for a freebie if you want! :) (I won $225 once; would have been double that, but another guy one, with the exact same card & serial number as me?! Then, later in the cruise, DH came 1 number away from winning a cruise!)

 

Here's a photo of bingo on the Noordam:

 

GOOD LUCK!

Do they give away a free cruise EVERY cruise?

dr1de-that's odd, there shouldn't be two cards with the same serial #

Do they give away a free cruise EVERY cruise?

 

There is a raffle for a "free cruise". I believe it costs $10 per ticket.

 

 

Remember, its only a gambling problem if you're losing! :p
