carnival03 Posted May 14, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I am trying to plan out new things to do that we haven't done on our past two cruises with Carnival. Bingo, is something we have never done. Does anyone know the price for bingo? Is the price same for all "types" of bingo games? Which are the best to attend? Any Tips? Thanks in advance! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theriac Posted May 14, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Bingo can range from what I've seen and heard $20-$30 which is usually for 3-4 games that takes about 30 minutes. Payouts depend on how many people show up and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennifer1t Posted May 14, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Don't play the first day! It's a ripoff! Play towards the end- you have more chances to win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnorris10 Posted May 14, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 14, 2015 It is 20 - 30 -40 packages and bingo sucks I won't ever do it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltz Posted May 14, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I can't remember the exact price (maybe $40?) but I do recall it included multiple bingo "cards" and 2 markers. We played mid-week and actually won $150 but another person won, so we had to split it. Booooo. That was our first time playing but we enjoyed it. We will probably play again this upcoming cruise.

ready2cruzagain Posted May 14, 2015 #6 Share Posted May 14, 2015 If I remember correctly packages are $20, $30 and $40. Prizes vary depending on the amount of people. Total ripoff IMHO...last time went but did not play. You are better off putting $40 in the slots, lasts longer sometimes, especially the penny slots.

carnival03 Posted May 14, 2015 Author #7 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I think we'll cross this off the list of this we were going to do, sounds like a rip-off IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyislandwilldo Posted May 14, 2015 #8 Share Posted May 14, 2015 For a little bit more personalized fun, you can make a bingo card of your own and play Lido Bingo while you people watch on the Lido deck. If you are going with a group, perhaps each can pitch in a few dollars and whoever gets bingo first gets a little jack pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumtopugs Posted May 16, 2015 #9 Share Posted May 16, 2015 20/30/$40 packages. I won $1,000 on my cruise in 2013 but nothing since. Dan the Bingo Man on the Freedom is pretty entertaining. View it as entertainment, not a cash investment and you'll have a good time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenng1976 Posted May 16, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 16, 2015 We've won $1000+ over the years at Bingo. We've won probably 10 times or so on various cruises. (3x on our honeymoon cruise on HAL ... we got some evil eyes in the 3rd win, haha). But, we've spent a lot on it too, so probably have broken even overall or a little ahead. But, we play because it's fun, and exciting if you win or are one number away. Not because we expect to come out ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hartsnvt Posted May 16, 2015 #11 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) The bingo is way too expensive for the prize money offered. In 2012 we were on NCL and the blackout bingo prize was $1500. My daughter had bought just one card for like $15.00 for that last game and won 1/2. ($750). Now that was worth playing. (We had paid $25.00 for 3 games of bingo that last day). I wish Carnival would have bigger prizes to justify the cost of the cards. Edited May 16, 2015 by hartsnvt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
