Bingo question


Recommended Posts

Stupid question but my family wants to know in advance...does anyone remember how much the bingo costs on the Mariner? I know it's per sheet but I can't remember the cost. Thanks for the help.:)

We just got off the voyager and it was on pack for $30 + and two packs for $43. plus an extra jackpot sheet for $11. Fotunatley they did not have the electronic cards, forget how much they cost last year, but the took all of the fun out of the game. They were going to have them starting this week

On the Grandeur it was $37 for 4 cards, $67 for the electronic gizmo. We kept on walking.

 

And you just about have to have an electronic to win as it has a whole lot more games than the cards do. Also, the prize money is pretty paltry. Like $100 and then you may have to split it when there are multiple winners.

Thanks everyone...think I'll pass this time. I'll leave it up to the rest of the family what they want to do.:rolleyes:

 

You and a lot of other people. Whereas the prize pay used to be based on how much was paid in entries, the attendance on our last cruise was so low that they "guaranteed" $100 prize money each game. Even then, if they have 50 people paying an average of $40 that brings in $2K and they only have to pay out $400 plus hold a little back for the "jackpot" game the last session.

 

Somehow, RCI hasn't figured out that more people paying less a session brings in more money than less people paying more.
