Cost of Bingo Games-Carnival

[faith1989]

How much are Bingo Games on Carnival Cruise?

[hartsnvt]

There are 3 tiers. I believe they were $20, $25 and $30. It is too expensive for the paltry winnings they offer. Bring your own dauber or else you will have to buy one for $2.00 or get the most expensive package.

Is that for one game???

[hartsnvt]

Usually there were 2 games. Like I said, it was very expensive and some prizes were only $100. So if 2 people got bingo they split it. Hardly worth it in my opinion. Years ago the prizes started at $500 and went up each session with the final Bingo being something like $2000. Now that was worth it!

I lov bingo, but after playing a couple times on our first cruise I figured out the only real winner is carnival.

They recently changed their prices. Packages are $20, $30 and $40. Way too expensive!!

That is for each session. 1 session might have several games. You will have to pay for each session. They will have several sessions throughout the cruise.

Last cruise I bought the $40 package and won a game for $50! So after buying 2 daubers for my husband and I we actually won a whopping $6.00:mad: Hardly worth it. There were not many people playing, needless to say.

Not surprising. Prices on Carnival seem to be going up!

We play it for fun. It has always, on the cruises we have been on, one game per session. Someone always wins.

We played in June. BIG rip-off. Won't be playing again. There was probably about 200-300 people playing and the winner got $50. REALLY???? i think we paid about $30 for the cards to play.

Can you just buy one dauber and share with your spouse?

You can, you don't even have to buy one!

Thank you all for the info. We had read boards about the prizes being great (old posts, maybe) and were interested in playing in March. I'll save my $$ instead.

Just got off of the Pride a little over a week ago. Bingo was $20 to play three cards, $30 for six cards, and $40 for nine cards. With the top two packages, you also got a couple of scratch off cards that didn't result in any large winnings, at least not for us. Daubers are $2.00. They typically played 3-4 games per session.

IMHO, this is the biggest money maker rip off ever for Carnival. Save your money people, they will suck you dry to the very end. You think you'll win that big prize that they keep reeling you in with, you lose.

I just use a highlighter. You simply need a way to mark the numbers that have been called.

I have not seen a bingo game with the prize under $500.

 

Maybe when we didn't play Not when we did.
