Steviewonder1 Posted August 4, 2008 #51 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I won $500 JP Bingo at the Disembarcation Meeting on my first cruise broke even in the Casino, next two cruises got ahead $8-900, last cruise down $350. I budget $100 a day for the Casino. If I am going up, I keep playing until I'm $300-400 up then stop. If down, at $100 down I stop, wait another day. I have done better on cruises than Vegas, Atlantic City or the Florida Indian Tribes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPreston Posted August 12, 2008 #53 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Several years ago my mom won the JP bingo sitting beside me (clearly i picked the wrong card from her) but it was over 13000US.. and we're from canada so that was even more money to us at the time. We even had one of their security guys to escort us to their bank room and we got to count the 100 bills, it was crazy I was 14 at the time holding thousands of $$, good times. Heres hoping that I win enough $$ to pay off university tutition, I leave on Sunday YAY!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue's Mom Posted August 15, 2008 #54 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I won JP Bingo on the Volendam 3 or 4 years ago - sufficient to reimburse us for the cost of the cruise. Funnily enough, I just knew I was going to win - must by psychic or something. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubs Posted August 22, 2008 #56 Share Posted August 22, 2008 My sister's friend won I think $600 on one of the bingo games, when you won the bingo you went up and played Deal or no Deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlendaleCruiser Posted August 23, 2008 #57 Share Posted August 23, 2008 On the Elation, my friend won the bingo game for a free cruise. It cost her $1000 in taxes because it was a Cat 12 on the verandah--super nice. Sadly, I did not get to go with............:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiniiii Posted September 19, 2008 #58 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I took a cruise for Spring Break last March on NCL Sun, won the raffle in BINGO for a free cruise. Totally freaky. The certificate was worth $1000 for an inside cabin on another cruise to the Caribbean. I booked it and now I am on my free cruise for Thanksgiving.

mrsfuzzmo Posted September 19, 2008 #59 Share Posted September 19, 2008 One cruise I won $350 on slots (one jackpot) and $500 on a bingo game that was just one card, $10 while waiting for a comedian in a lounge!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry and Lucille Posted September 21, 2008 #60 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Out of our first 5 cruises, I managed to pay for 3 1/2 of them on the Blackjack tables. Luck hasn't followed me since but I keep on trying. Good luck out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mother and Daughter Posted February 19, 2009 #61 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I love bingo! I am trying to plan ahead and save enough money just for bingo. How much should I plan for? I am going Summit on 3-7-2009 and I saw there is bingo almost everyday. How much for a section? Thanks Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2psoki Posted February 22, 2009 #62 Share Posted February 22, 2009 My DH won $1100 on a Princess cruise back in 2005. Paid for half the cruise+ our drinks. It could have been $2200 except another passenger realized at the last moment that she, too, had Bingo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuttmegg101 Posted April 13, 2009 #67 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I won a Cruise on the Norwegian after playing bingo. When you bought into bingo, you received several raffle tickets. The staff told us the tickets would be drawn the next morning for a cruise and you had to be present to win. Well, this meant you had to be up a little early the next morning and the DH was complaining. He stated that he didnt see why we had to go down there to see them pull the ticket cause we werent going to win anyways. "Do you realize how many people are going to be there" he stated. Well, we went anyways. While sitting in the lounge near the window waiting on them to call the number, he fell asleep. The staff drew the ticket and called the number, to my avail, it was MINE!!! OMG I won a cruise!! I started nudging DH to wake up and telling him we won a cruise. He looked and me and told me to stop playing. He then went back to his nap. I got up and went to the stage and collected my cruise certificate. While there, the woman sitting next to DH, nudged him and woke him up. "I think your wife really won a cruise, shes on stage" she stated. His response, "I hope she won or else she embarassed both of us". :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncosFan2010 Posted April 13, 2009 #68 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I won $40 playing 2 cent slots. DH won $10. I believe the bingo cards are $20-$25 per card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlb91454 Posted April 22, 2009 #69 Share Posted April 22, 2009 In October 2008 I was on the Carnival Elation and was walking through the casino and decided to play. Put $20 into a dollar machine and played the MAX ($3) and won $900. And in September 2008 I was a group leader. One of the ladies from my group played BINGO on the last day of our 10-day cruise and won the big jackpot. (and she had never played bingo before either on land or at sea - I guess that is called beginners luck!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Scots Posted May 12, 2009 #70 Share Posted May 12, 2009 $1600 on a dollar slot machine (2 coin). It was the last night on a Baltic cruise on Crown Princess just before the casnio closed and I wanted to get rid of some extra one dollar bills. Third pull I hit the triple double jackpot- top prize on that machine! Serveral months later, we were in Aruba on my wife's birthday, walked into a casino and put $2 in the exact same machine as above and won $300!

surfinggoofy Posted May 14, 2009 #71 Share Posted May 14, 2009 My wife and I went on the Star Princess a 24 day South America cruise last year. My wife won two jackpots one the first week and one on the yery last night. The first was about $5,500 and the next was around $4,300. We are also getting promos from Princess because of the Casino play. She brought most of the winnings home and did not spend more than $300 to win... Hope it will happen again.

benatty Posted May 14, 2009 #72 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I won $5K on the last day of our Alaska cruise. Went to the casino to get change for tips and stopped at an empty Let it Ride table and 3 hands later hit a straight flush for $5K. I took the chips back to the cabin and dumped them on the bed, much to my wife's amazement. Needless to say, that paid for the cruise. Nice way to end a vacation.
