It appears they replaced Bingo with Deal or No Deal…very disappointing to me

at first it seemed it was only on the Edge but it looks like they replaced Bingo on the rest of the fleet as well.

Good talk about sedentary

No Bingo. Very disappointing.Deal or No Deal seems like a huge rip off. No Deal!

I will bring cards,  beans and the balls.  In my state, Bingo has usually accompanied by a smoke filled room.

Bingo is one of my favorite cruise activities, and I am not of the older age bracket at all. Deal or No Deal would be really fun, too, but as an addition, not a replacement. I do remember that celebrity used the wooden cards on our 2017 cruise so not compatible with Covid. Maybe they will switch to disposable paper.

Was on the Millennium and was told they no longer do Bingo. Certainly not interested in the no deal game show so did no gambling. Is this on all ships?

Equinox has the new game (awful). I don't think it's going to last.

We were told on our September Equinox cruise that Bingo would be coming back in the near future.

Thats good to hear. I enjoy a game of Bingo on Sea Days. It a nice way to relax for a bit.

 

I don't understand how Deal or No Deal could be played by more than 1 person at a time, unless its radically different that the TV Version. Can anyone who has seen it on the ship comment on how its played.

so...

 

a) everyone buys cards same as bingo

b) one person is chosen to "play" 

c) player picks a suitcase

d) player plays just like on the tv show,

e) banker offers 0-$1,000 dollars based on what is left on the board

f) meanwhile, audience gets to check for any matches on their card

this part goes so fast, you don't know if you have matched anything.  If you did have 5 matches or more, then you may have won some casino credit. In order to ind out, you have to take your cards to the casino

g) this is repeated from a to f a second time with a second passenger/player

 

This is very frustrating, not fun, and not worth even checking to see if you won any casino credit. Check-in takes so long, the wait is longer than the play time.

Definitely sounds like not a fun time or something that the DW or I would be interested in. Hopefully by our Feb 2022 cruise Bingo will be back.

I LOVE THE BINGO!!!!! Brings back fond memories of my Grandma.  I MISS THE BINGO.

I thinks it's more fun than Deal or No Deal.

I hope Celebrity considers bringing it back soon!!!  Don't know what this "Fast Bing" is, but it's listed on my up coming Edge cruise next week.

Keep posting for BINGO.  Maybe they'll re-issue the game.
