Krazy Kruizers Posted September 30, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 30, 2018 What -- no Bingo??? This is the first I have heard of this. Hope people from other ships report in. Did you ask the front desk why there isn't Bingo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberta Quilter Posted September 30, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 30, 2018 There was Bingo on the Prinsendam as recently as yesterday. I didn't win.:( It was run by the Assistant Cruise Director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted September 30, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 30, 2018 There's always been Bingo on the ships I have been on. It's held on sea days, not port days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Copper10-8 Posted September 30, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Probably no staff to run it ! Takes one person, usually the ACD (who doubles as DJ), to run it, plus Guest Services staff to collect your $$ and hand out your winnings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Copper10-8 Posted September 30, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 30, 2018 It's also a money maker for HAL, is it not? That's above my pay grade, Ma'am :cool: I know it's very popular with the crew but that one is run by the HRM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL on above your paygrade ;) HAL does take a 'cut' from the Bingo games for passengers plus many of them buy the "win a cruise" lottery and the "win a cruise" bingo. I'm not sure how much money they make on it though which is why I asked. Didn't know they had games for the crew though, too. Nice :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joekerstef Posted October 1, 2018 #14 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Bingo normally at 3pm in the theater on sea days (but not necessarily every sea day). I won twice on Maasdam in May. Winnings are credited to your shipboard account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KroozNut Posted October 2, 2018 #17 Share Posted October 2, 2018 OP, sounds like you may be mistakin'.. bingo appears to be pretty consistently offered on most HAL sailings (including all of ours).. ;):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUZBUDS Posted October 2, 2018 #18 Share Posted October 2, 2018 OP, sounds like you may be mistakin'.. bingo appears to be pretty consistently offered on most HAL sailings (including all of ours).. ;):) This is what I was thinking -- we've been cruising since the mid-1980's. If there is one thing that has been consistent on all of or cruises over many lines it has been bingo -- that is a huge money maker for the lines. I'd be very surprised if they stopped doing it.
