Bingo Dogs

[CruisinDawn]

Just got off the Monarch and purchases a Bingo Dog. How long have these been around? Hope to be able to use it again in Sept if they don't change the breed on me :D Also how many free cards are you suppose to get with it. The first night we received 3 extra cards for the last game but the next day we only received one bonus card? Not sure why the difference.

 

Anyone?

Well, there are a few of us out there that don't know what'choo talking about.... can you give a brief explanation of what these are?

For the BINGO games, RCCL sells different 'packages' of bingo cards. For 99$ you buy BINGO, the Dog. You bring it with you for the rest of the cruise and get $10 (i think) of free bingo cards when you purchase the same amount.

[CruisinDawn]

The dog was $4.99 and each time you bring it to bingo you get free cards for the last game of the session. Guess they must be a really new thing? They threw some to the crowd but it seems they didn't have the Bingo tag around their neck.

Hubby bought me a Bingo Dog for $4.99 I was wondering If I brought him to Alaska would I get a get Bingo Discount or extra cards?

We still have ours and bought him on the Enchantment in January 2005.

Yes, indeed, it's just like a Coke card that you can also reuse over and over again on every cruise!

 

(Tongue firmly in cheek; I don't know about the BINGO dogs one way or another!)

[Mabers]

On our recent cruise on Mariner the Bingo Dogs were $9.99, and you received $10 worth of extra bingo cards the time you bought the dog and all subsequent visits that you brought and showed the dog.

I had bought one on Sovereign previously, and not knowing whether or not I could bring it to a subsequent cruise, I gave it to a baby who came to visit.

I still don't know whether I could have or not!

Damn! It was the exact same dog, but with my luck, they would have looked up whether I just paid for it.

Oh, great! :cool: Just what I need - another excuse to play Bingo!! And I was going to try to cut back next cruise. :p ;) :D

How many cards will $10 actually get you? :confused:

[LindaandJeff]

We paid $9.99 for our Bingo dog but he came with the "free" Bingo t-shirt. Each time you brought the dog or wore the t-shirt you received a free kids pack every time you bought a pack. So that amounts to one extra card for each game including the last game. They did not give the bonus cards on the last day for jackpot bingo. The Bingo dog is featured prominently in our photos which makes them kind of fun. We dressed him up with the little diamond charm bracelet that's free from Diamonds International. He never did bring us any luck but the room steward loved putting him with our towel animals!

Nothing really unless you buy another pack. Think the pricing is like this.

 

$25 Kiddie Pack - 3 cards for each of the 5 games

$35 Regular Pack - 6 cards for each of the 5 games

$50 Show me the Money - 6 card for each of the 5 games and 6 additional cards for the last game

Seems there was an addition you could add for $15 but can't remember what it was. I kept yelling "Show Me the Money" but never saw it :(

 

Well, seems everyone got something a bit different, must depend on the cruise director or cruise. Thanks for the infor everyone. You saved Bingo from becoming a dog chew toy, hehe, jk.

Anyone know if they'll have the Bingo Dogs on there?

 

I WANT a bingo dog!

[smrn]

In GA we call them Bingo Dawgs! Any on the Grandeur?

[dave&micki]

Usually we do not play bingo on the cruise, but this time we are going to {just 5 days to go!!!} Approximately how much is it to play bingo? I did hear it was quite expensive......not that I care......I love to gamble :D :D

[MissKise]

gosh, I played bingo on the Monarch Feb 13-17th....and we didn't have any bingo dawgs! :(.....

[bobbie0253]

I am not "new" to cruising...but I have no idea what a Bingo Dog is???? Oh well, maybe next cruise!

[mercedesmom2002]

We're going on the Navigator July 1st, anyone know if there will be Bingo Dogs on there? There weren't any when we went on the Seranade in Oct/Nov. 2005.

 

I want one!!!!!

Hey Dawna-

 

How was the Monarch-I leave tomorrow morning for the same cruise!!! Thanks for the Bingo Dog info-I will definately get one-gotta love the bingo!! :D

[katstoy]

Great . . . one more thing for my daughter to nag me about buying for her! But of course I will because it's so darn cute. They didn't have the bingo dogs on the Vision in Dec or the Monarch last July. They must be new. Can't wait to get one this June!

[LynnAB]

Are the Bingo dogs on all RCCL ships now? I wonder if they'll be on the Freedom. I'm a sucker for puppies of any kind, and I LOVE Bingo! Wow! I want one!

 

P.S. I wonder if I'll ever grow up! I hope not!

[CruisinDawn]

Your going on the Freedom before I am so let us know. Why grow up lifes to short. I am so enjoying 39 that I think I will stay 39 the rest of my life, great age. 39 and I am still a Toy's R Us kid :D

I'll definitely let everyone know about the Freedom. I can't wait! We're HOPING to find out when the Freedom first comes to Miami since we only live about 25 minutes from the port. I'd love to see her coming in the first time, but I'm sure that will be hard to do.

 

Anyway, I'm 53 and not grown up either <g>. I am when I have to be ... like working ... but I definitely have an inner child that shows up nights and weekends. Little things excite me, and I hope that never changes.
