Ampurp85 Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 I think they start at $25 per card but there are bundles. I would say an average of $50pp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrinkm Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Check your Crown and Anchor benefits - there are bonus Jackpot cards available when you buy a Bingo package, depending on your tier. ChessE4 and PPPJJ-GCVAB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Bingo is fun…IF you get the chance to play! The room typically fills up so quickly…and way ahead of the actual game time. Ampurp85 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letscruise Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 Based on my last 2 cruises during this summer, the lowest price package started at $49 with package options above that amount. Bingo was incredibly popular and a full venue. Unfortunately, I haven't won yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheeler825 Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 Bingo is a giant ripoff now. In 2014 I remember it feeling like OK value to play. Played in June on NOS and it was like $59 a package and 3 short games... def not worth it. Linda R and jbrinkm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will share that there was a $2,000 winner on our last sailing for one game - I'm sure that person didn't think it was a ripoff. That was on Wonder and I don't care for the bingo set up in the Royal Theatre. It is really hard to play on your lap; I've much preferred playing on smaller ships when it's hosted in the Star Lounge. In fact, we would have played each day it was offered on Wonder, except once we realized we were sitting in the rowed seating, we decided we weren't going back. Bingo is definitely something we enjoy doing and at least will play once. Also, since it's 4 of us, I try to factor out the per person price just to make myself feel better about the cost.

Montemy2419 Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 I used to play Bingo once on a 7 day cruise. They offer a cheaper version of the paper sheets but a higher priced package includes the sheets and an electronic device that plays additional games for you. Each Bingo session there are 3 winners and I have noted that every winner I have seen won on the electronic device, nobody won using the paper sheets. Bring your own highlighter or pen as they will sell you a dauber for a few dollars but I am afraid that they would leak so I bring a highlighter. On our cruise in April I won the first round and received a paper receipt for just over $400. They instructed me that the credit will be placed on our account and the second to the last day just go to customer service to get the cash. **Beware that when the electronic device showed I was a winner it made no noise. It only flashed on the screen "WINNER" but if it hadn't been flashing I wouldn't have noticed. The next round won just over $500 and the last round was over $800.

barjpoe Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 I was lucky. the first time I played (it was also my bday. Was able to get the 'cover all' won a free cruise. though there were a lot of restrictions. Only could book a month out, interior cabin, & and of course being a month out and had to fly - air fare wasn't cheap. Haven't since. That was almost 20 year ago Xaa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
