mike Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Thankfully our trip is only 2 weeks out now, however one piece of news caught my eye. That's right, bingo. If the price I saw is true its pretty high for the time entertained. Does anyone have or know of a good price breakdown? I have yet to find a good posting anywhere. As a follow up, can all cards in the same room be frozen to prevent use at the casino or other uses for that matter? Shawnemact 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jticarruthers Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 From memory they typically play 3 or maybe 4 rounds of Bingo in each session. For about $25 you get a set of three cards that you play in all the rounds For about $55 you get the same cards plus a machine that plays something like 20 sets of cards for you We usually end up playing once or twice on most cruises, our son gets a kick out of it and it isn't a lot of money if you only do it once or twice, twice a day every day would add up in a hurry though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jticarruthers Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Just saw your second question, I know you have the option of activating and deactivating cards for individuals and I believe you can set spending limits on them (may depend on the ship as to how sophisticated they are). Never really tried it though to know exactly how granular you can get, remember if you lock out all the cards though then no-one can buy anything on board which might make for an awkward cruise.

mike Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Ok, thanks! Those prices are alot more reasonable than the 32 for 1 card I had read on a few posts elsewhere. As far as charges go I'm mainly concerned about any spending in the casino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 The big bingo game is the one on the last day when there has to be a winner for the jackpot. Granted, more people show up for that so odds are worse but at least you know there's an absolute chance you could win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 It WOULD be nice to win the free cruise :D . That's probably the only way we'd get to go again until sometime in 2016. michelle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
