Jim.oconnor Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 How much does it cost to play bingo on oasis of the sea’s ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestingBird Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 I haven't actually played, or sailed on Oasis...but, we looked into it on another ship, and if I recall correctly the cheapest came out to like $30 per person, and it went up from there. I know others on here have actually played, hopefully they'll chime in for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Here were the bingo prices on Harmony last summer: GlowTheWeird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLMoran Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Yeesh, they're really designing those tiers to push people up into the highest price ranges. Assuming everyone who looks at that does the quick mental math, it's super-easy to see you make your price per chance the lowest by buying the $69 option. Even doing the not so quick real math, it's still painfully obvious you don't want to spend less than $59 to make the price per chance in line with a state lottery or Powerball ticket. $39 for 3 = $13 per chance $49 for 6 = $8.16 per $59 for 21 total = $2.80 per $69 for 42 total = $1.64 per Problem being, from everything I've read here from people who did try out the Bingo, it doesn't make your actual odds of winning any better to get those big packages, as the odds seem to pretty clearly be Powerball level slim even when you have all those dozens of chances.

mel2940 Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Great info as I will be going in a few weeks. How many times does bingo get played so I can estimate how much money to bring for it? Should I bring my own dauber or do they require you to buy one of theirs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Horner Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Yep. RCL BINGO is pretty expensive but every once in a while you get lucky. Two cruises ago, I won the "Free Cruise for Two" final bingo of the cruise. I used that (with an upgrade I paid for) to get a nice nine day cruise to the Southern Caribbean this past January. Of course, I played bingo on that cruise and didn't win a thing - not even their little pull tabs. Oh well. You win some and lose a lot more!

Suzanne Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 It's expensive, but a good way to kill a couple of hours. Great for rainy sea days. Skid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true. My wife & I always go the "cheap" route ($39). On Rhapsody in 2017, I ended up one number away from the free cruise!

It will be charged to your account, they won't take cash, if that makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't play that bingo round again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonemanbob Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 We find that Bingo or buying a lottery ticket at the casino have about the same odds. $ 39.00 can buy a lot of lottery tickets or play a lot of slots for a dollar each. The slots have paid us a nice return on our investments in them over the years. Can`t say the same for the cruise or power ball lotteries.
