Current Bingo Prices on Cruise

[Waltworshiper]

We are doing a 7 day in May and wondering if they are currently doing bingo on the ship, and if someone knows the prices. Trying to get gift cards to cover excursions and my bingo habit, lol!

They are doing bingo. I remember the cheapest being $15 and the most expensive $70. I know there were prices in between but I can't remember.

Thanks, the range helps. Rather plan for the higher end!

 

[coronationday]

You are welcome. I hope you have fun!

These were the Bingo prices in September. They were only doing paper cards no electronic machines. I do not know if that has changed.

There were using the electronic machines (that looks like a big Ipad) on my cruise.

Did they giving out a real final jackpot at the last Bingo game? This amount would be in the thousands (not hundreds) of dollars, and would be a guaranteed payout, not "someone can get it if they cover their card in x number of calls." I read they haven't been doing that since reopening.

 

[coronationday]

No, they weren't doing that. If I remember correctly we play 4 games of bingo (one session) and each game a person or various people that called bingo got to split like two hundred dollars

These are the electronic bingo card machines they have used previously. Did they have something new?

How do you use those machines with the cards? Or is it either or?

 

[ArielRae]

The machines are pre loaded with your bingo cards and they are linked to the cast members machine that pulls the numbers and they enter it. It will keep track of your cards and the numbers called automatically and will put the card with the best odds on the screen. If you get a bingo the screen will flash so you have to watch it and yell bingo when it does. It even knows if they are doing different bingo lines, square, or fill the board games. Pre covid they offered packages that had both electronic and paper cards combined so you can share with the family.

Thanks! So it seems with the electronic machines all you have to do is watch for that bingo flash! Does the machine cost more than the cards? Will be my first time playing bingo onboard. TIA!

No, they were definitely not using that. It was more like a big Ipad; I only found two photos of it online.

 

[ArielRae]

Thanks for the photos! It is nice to see they are upgrading the games.

Theme Park Express on YouTube posted his experience with the new tablet Bingo machine Sailing on the Dream. I wonder if they are offering it on all the ships now.
