Bingo Aboard Ship

[TheSkipper]

Just wondering how many of you play Bingo on a cruise??

How much do you budget (if you do budget) for Bingo play??

Seems to be a very popular shipboard activity.

Answer for us:

No we don't play (I find it boring and Roe does not seem to have any interest)

So, our budget for Bingo ZIP.

But how about you????

ZIP here also. Not a big fan of bingo ---- the slots on the other hand take a nice bite out of my budget.

No Bingo here either! Might as well take the money and toss it overboard! LOL Bingo is also pretty expensive!

We don't play bingo. We may wander in to the casino and play some slots, but that's about it.

Bingo would probably be the last thing I would do on a cruise. Its almost as exciting as watching grass grow!

Where are all those Bingo players??

[Gregswife]

No Bingo for us either. We have watched a few games because they seem to play it in the afternoons while waiting for some event to start in the lounge.

That's for sure Cheryl. They had a game every night before the show aboard the Valor, so we had to sit through it in order to get a decent seat.

HERE I AM!!! Yes I love Bingo. Bingo is not a spectator sport y'all... it is definitely a participant activity.... then there isn't a boring moment - only lots of tension as you are waiting for your last number to be called. On the last cruise they had one afternoon that they gave away a free cruise and then on the final day the jackpot was $8950 - not to be sneezed at... that's for sure. This is TAX FREE money!! Yeah - unfortunately it is getting very expensive, or should I say it certainly is expensive on RCCL... it seemed to be cheaper on Princess.

Jackie: Don't know this first hand, but someone told me that the single game before the show was $10 for a single card or $20 for three cards. Jackpot was $700 and there were tons of people playing.
