katykrol Posted September 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 9, 2023 We are going to be sailing in the Prima in January for my husbands birthday. He watches the Price is Right every day at home. I’ve read a little bit about it in the boards but I don’t know how you get selected to be a contestant. That would make his year if he would be selected. Can anyone help me understand the process? Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The P Posted September 9, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 9, 2023 When you reserve your ticket on board, you tell them you'd like to be a contestant. The players are picked from that group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The P Posted September 10, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 10, 2023 You're explaining it better than I did. You have to have a rezzie and show up and get scanned. When I asked I was told they choose but never got the random word. However it works, as I waited in line, there were people by me who said they took the cruise just to play the game. Random must be right. A kid got selected when I was there and his father had to join him on stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkyharriet Posted September 10, 2023 #6 Share Posted September 10, 2023 It’s random. My sister & I were on the Prima in April. We did not specifically ask to be entered into a pool of possible contestants, just showed up, scanned in and got name tags. My sister was called! She didn’t win but she was super excited to be called up. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine4me2 Posted September 10, 2023 #7 Share Posted September 10, 2023 We were on the Prima for the NYE 2023 cruise. It was a random select, as I was called to participate! It was a lot of fun and exciting, but didn't win! Winning isn't everything!😀 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be our first NCL cruise in over 15 years. Looks like we will have a couple of other game shows anyway. Like many, always partial to Price is Right though. We did make it to the show with Drew Carey a few years ago. Guy beside was "called down" and made it to the showcase which he lost. Was great fun 😃 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlGoodShips Posted September 10, 2023 #13 Share Posted September 10, 2023 We were on Prima Dec 2022. Never asked if we wanted to be picked to go on stage...but I was!! So I'm guessing its random when you scan your card at theater. I got to play PLINKO. Won $250 cash. Hope your husband is picked. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKstages Posted September 11, 2023 #15 Share Posted September 11, 2023 i said this about the show in my prima review, but here it is again: when you are randomly called, they use the name as shown in their database and on your room key card. and since NCL almost always uses your middle name (if provided), they call all three names. the net effect was that it sounded like all the contestants were assassins! “lee harvey oswald, come on down, you’re the next contestant on the price is right!” ”mark david chapman, let’s play plinko!” 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then just go stand-by for the second show that night. The games will be different and you will have a chance to get called twice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare PhillyTravelBug Posted September 11, 2023 #19 Share Posted September 11, 2023 It was a lot of fun. The lady behind me got picked for the showcase showdown. I thought I heard press your luck may be on future ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like them much more when you don’t have to pay to be a potential winner, like Deal or Bingo. Edited September 14, 2023 by laudergayle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
