Beware Bingo!!!

[engle]

Couple of questions regarding BINGO...

So, once you pay that $60 or $90 or whatever for that session, how long does that session last, time wise? Approximately......

And does everyone in the bingo room have to play? I mean can DH and I buy ONE machine thingy and play together or do we each have to have one to be in the BINGO area?? Where is the BINGO played anyway!!

My son won $400 during our March cruise and of course, we had to collect it, BUT they give you onboard credit, not cash.

Nope, not everyone there has to play.

Bingo is played in different places. On the Magic, early in the week, it was played in Diversions on my cruise. The later-in-the-week jackpot gets pretty big, so bingo becomes much more crowded and is moved to the Walt Disney Theatre.

This isn't exactly accurate. Yes, they might do that, but if you don't use it all, you will get the CASH back. I know someone who one a few thousand, and they got CASH!

Well I wasn't aware of that since we certainly spent all of that plus some!

My DW and I had a great time playing bingo on our recent cruise. We did use the new electronic cards and we were just as excited watching the card on the screen change, how many "hits" we got and watching the thing light up when we won. It wasn't the big prize, though.

The cruise staff was great!! Trevor was our bingo guy for the cruise and he kept us all laughing and in a great mood.

Was it a little expensive? Maybe. But the enjoyment we got out of it was well worth it.
