Trivia Games on Ships

[cruisekitty22]

Are the Trivia games on the Fascination free? If not, how much are they? Is bingo free?

[Davey Wavey]

Trivia is free. Bingo is not.

Trivia can be a blast - just play for social fun and do not worry about what anyone else is doin. I have one of the plastic ship trophies so I do not need another. Giving it to a child or someone who really wants the trophy is a different kind of reward...

 

Bingo is definitely expensive.....fun to watch but costly....

Can confirm that trivia is free on Fascination. If you ask you might be able to substitute a medal for a ship on a stick if that's what you prefer.

Bingo usually costs $20-$40 depending on how many cards you get.

I'm guessing that hurricane trivia questions are off limits? Same with sunken ships?

Bingo is a rip off. You have to pay $25 for a row of 3 cards and they only play a few games.

Doubt it! I was on a Carnival boat once and one of the movies showing on TV was In the Heart of the Sea, about the sinking of the whaling ship Essex.

That's what we do...especially if it's a ship we've never been on, since my goal is to have at least one dinghy on a thingie for every ship we've ever been on.

Trivia can be fun if you don't take it too seriously. Sometimes there will only be 3-4 people playing and other times there can be 50+ people. On our last cruise, the Game of Thrones trivia attracted a lot of people. You would have had to been an absolute die-hard to get more than15 correct (IMO). And OTOH, the Beatles trivia had 3 people with perfect 20/20. I will play a few games during the cruise, maybe 3 or 4. But it does get old quickly.

That's $20-$40 every time you decide to play. You don't have to play everyday, but that price is very expensive if you want to play everyday.

Like others have said, bingo is costly and trivia is free.

I have been lucky enough to collect a ship on a stick on both the Carnival cruise I have done.

One time there was a team trivia contest and that was a lot of fun.

On our last cruise, I swear that the die hard GoT fans almost started a riot right there in the plaza because the Fun Squad crew member doing the trivia had no idea what GoT even was, so he was mispronouncing practically everything and people were getting fed up with that and the fact that it was had to decipher what he was saying because of his heavy Spanish (like Spanish as in from Spain) accent. I almost offered to go up and do the trivia FOR him because it was so bad.

While Bingo is costly, I don't think it's a ripoff as someone on here said. The jackpots can be pretty decent; I've won twice. $250 on my last cruise and $750 a few years back.

I won 3 on each of our last 2 Carnival cruises. On the last one (on the Fascination), someone won about 20. But, he never left the ship and won some as the only one playing when everyone else was exploring the Southern Caribbean ports.

 

On the one before, we did have team trivia, the men against the women. The men won all 4, which we were told was never done before! I was the captain of the men's team for the first one, and that was one of my ship on a stick wins. We were forced to vote for different captains on the other three, though they wanted me again. One time I gave an answer, and we were told the captain had to give it, and I practically had to spell it out for him. And on our flight back, there was a woman and son in front of us from the ship. He looked at me and said, "Oh, you're the trivia guy.".

 

BTW, since the OP says he will be on the Fascination, if JJ asks his age, it should be 30 since he was 29 in the summer of 2016. (I had guessed 28.)
