Bingo onboard the Oosterdam

[Australian family]

On our recent cruise the prices for bingo were $25 for 3 games or $35 for 6 games. There was a HAL jackpot but you had to get bingo in 45 numbers, which is highly unlikely to occur.

 

I really wondered how much HAL put back into prizes, as the last game was at most around $800. On the last day of bingo, there was big ques of people wanting to play (they ran out of cards), and they had to wait for more cards to appear. But the final game wasn't much more than previous daily jackpots.

 

They did do a game one day where you could win a cruise, it was 1 game only for $20.

 

The price of bingo had increased from our last HAL cruise. I think I would think twice about playing bingo on another HAL cruise as it is rather expensive, and I really wonder how much of the money goes back into prizes.

We just got off radiance of the seas and the bingo jackpot on the last day of the cruise was $8,600 US. They called numbers until it was won.
