on Fantasy?

It's so much fun, the entertainment staff does an amazing job, the B11 song is the best.

since we with traveling with a large group last time...we never made it to Bingo. As allot of our group were not "paying" extra to play

and the room is always PACKED!

just wondering what sort of cash prizes do they give out?

is it like other ships where someone on the cruise has to win the cash prize jackpot (before the cruise is over)?


we have been told that majority of the "wins" come from the electronic machines...is that fairly accurate?


we love to play bingo on land
and know that bingo on the ship will be great fun too!

There's bingo every day and the jackpot gets higher each day. On the 3 night by the last day I think the jackpot was 5k. I never noticed if more people won playing paper cards or electronic cards

Bingo is one of my favorite activities on the ship!

They play 4 games per session. The cash prizes for the first three games are a not a set prize amount, rather a % of their take. The don't announce the amount until there is a winner. As each session is generally bigger than the last, the prizes get bigger as the cruise goes on. I believe for the first session on my recent Fantasy cruise the prizes were in the 150$ range, and by the end of the cruise, they were in the 3-400$ range. For the final game in each session, there is usually a jackpot prize in the thousands if you win in a certain number called or less (which hardly ever happens), otherwise there was a consolation prize, which was still the biggest for the session. At the end of the cruise the final jackpot must go, so if no one won it earlier in the cruise it easily gets hugs - usually around 8-10k!

It is true that the majority of wins come from the electronic cards, simply due to statistics. For most people playing the paper cards, they are playing 6 or 12 cards. The lowest package of electronic cards usually includes 24 cards, so that's 2-4x more chances to win. Many people buy the higher packages of electronic cards, which are 48 cards, so 4-8x more chances. Any card can win though! But simply since there are just so many more electronic cards out there a win on the paper cards is a lot more uncommon.

Hope this helps!

Great info! Generally speaking, how much is it to play? What's the price difference between the electronic and the paper cards? Are you even "playing" with the electronic cards or just watching your machine? I'm sorry I have zero experience with electronic cards, but used to love playing with my grandmother on the old paper cards.

Sounds like a great time! Just wondering what the prices look like.

Thanks so much!

It can cost between $30-80/session. Depends on how many cards you get. We have won on paper cards before but your chances are bigger with the electronic handsets because you have more cards. The amount you win depends on how many people are playing and how many win. One of the games we won - both my husband and I won and so did about 5 other people so we all got about$20. On one of our 7-night cruises the jackpot at the end was over $10,000 and it went to 1 winner.
