bingo question on Fantasy

[GioCruise]

So I missed Bingo on my last cruise and I'm dead set on doing BINGO this cruise....Do or Die!!
So how much is each entry card (so I can stash my Bingo spending cash) ....and is it for the whole family or just adults (not that I need my family to participate)???
Silly question but some BINGO veterans advice appreciated...any other tips as to lines, and planning greatly appreciated!

The family can participate (as in be there, cover the numbers, have fun) , but only adults can win the prizes.

Thanks Schmoo...Is it like 20 bucks a card or something like that?

Hi we played back in May but I'm afraid I don't remember exact pricing. There were different options of I think $30, $50 and $80. Hopefully someone can give you a more definite answer

Those prices look about right. The higher prices are for the electronic bingo machine. If you just do the punch out it is like $40 and you get something like 6 or 12 cards for each game and there are 4 games a session. The cost is for each session not the entire cruise.

Have fun doing the B11 dance! Bingo on DCL is the best. Also practice this, "Shake it up Betty."

Its not cheap, there is bingo every day, and the cheapest we have purchased is $50 for an electronic bingo machine with 6 paper cards. There are only 4 games per session. The jackpot grows thruout the cruise. DH has won $65 once and $350 on the last day. Winning big is rare but we did witness a DVC member that rode on the bus with us from Blt win $2500.00 at the last session.

Pricing usually ranges from $30-80 per session which is 4 games. $30 for a set of paper cards - $80 for 2 electronic handsets.

We were just on the Sept 5 sailing of the Fantasy and played Bingo almost every time it was offered! We love it! Lee was the host and he was just great! Caitlyn was leaving the Fantasy at the end of our cruise to go to the Wonder to be the host over there. Sorry to see her go - they were such a cute team!!

Anyway, the pricing for all days except the last was: $30 for 24 paper cards (6 cards per game, 4 games); $40 for electronic handset with 24 chances; $50 for handset with 48 chances; $80 for 2 (24 chance) handsets plus 24 paper cards (6 per game, 4 games). The final Bingo was more expensive, but you get a loyalty discount if you've played at least 3 times prior to the last day.

In my opinion, it seemed like more winning came from the handsets than the paper cards, so that's all we ever bought! You don't even have to punch or daub - it does all the work for you!

To avoid lines, get there before the pre-sales even start and they're usually ready to get you set up.

My grandkids (9,11,13) played and had a blast! My daughter ended up winning 2 times ($119 total) - so fun!!

Enjoy and good luck!!!

Oh no, is Chris leaving the Wonder? We enjoyed Caitlyn on the Fantasy last May, but Chris on the Wonder during our 2014 Alaska cruise was the best!

The higher prices are for the electronic bingo machine.
