Are there different prizes or just money(how much)?
Are there lots of people usually playing?

I am sorry I do not remember how many cards... Certainly not too many, but it does take a while to get used to the fold method...!

There were cash prizes, and some small give-a-ways. Such as a DCL mug, t-shirt,etc... Also if you volunteer to check the balls or something like it they give you a keychain, or another small souvenir....

It was always crowded whenever I played.

Caution: Highly Addictive, and A lot more fun than I every had anticipated..

I think it is around 10 games a session...

There are 6 games on a card for $35. You can also get 3 games for $25.

There are less people earlier in the cruise, and it gets more packed as the days roll on and the snowball jackpot rolls. It almost always isn't won until the last game. When we played, there were money prizes for the bingo games and then a raffle for other stuff. I won three times, but the amounts were small and I won with other people, so it just barely covered the cost of our cards. It was still lots of fun though!

My post from a previous thread:


There are five bingo games per bingo session.

They sell two different bingo card packages.

The "regular" bingo package costs $25. This will give you 5 sheets (one per game) of 3 bingo boards each.

The "super" package is $35 and is double the size of the regular package. That means 5 sheets of 6 bingo games each.

There's also an extra Jackpot sheet for just the final game. 6 bingo games on the sheet, $15.

Keep in mind that none of these games on the sheets can be separated. The sheets themselves can be separated from each other, but not the 3 or 6 games within the sheets.

They play one bingo session the first night, one during each port day, and two each day at sea. Each bingo session lasts about an hour.

Hope this helps!

I played on the January 15th cruise this year (the cruise that missed too islands). I believe there are a total of 6 games including the jackpot game. You can buy $35 or $25 worth of cards to play all of these six games. $35 gives you six cards on a sheet for each games. $25 gives you 3 cards on a sheet for each game. When we played the jackpot grew to be over $4000 by the end of the cruise. I believe someone must win the jackpot on the last day. The prizes depend on how many people are playing. The more people....the more the cash prizes are. The day I played, the cash prizes for the 5 games (not including the jackpot) ranged from $100 to $300 per game. There were lots of people the day I played since it was our 2nd missed Island day and people were looking for things to do. I did not play the last day when the jackpot was won.

I'm not sure why but DH and I are Bingo Freaks, no matter when we sail...and we've learned that the earlier you sail the better your odds.....
Good Luck!!
