Vidimom Posted January 10, 2009 #5 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I won a cruise on the Victory (5 night) in 2001. Back then you were given a suite and we were given a choice of 3,4 or 5 night and we of course took the 5 night on the Imagination which was the only ship at that time offering 5 night cruises. It was great. Haven't won a thing since then, not even a bottle of bubbly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lives to cruise Posted January 10, 2009 #7 Share Posted January 10, 2009 We won a cruise last January on the Fantasy playing Bingo. It was a 5 day and we took it this past July on the Victory and sailed up to Canada. It was one of our best cruises ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellenmb Posted January 10, 2009 #8 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I always love answering this question. I was in my cabin on the Sensation in 2006 and DH said "Where are you going?" and I said "I'm going to win me a cruise"...So I went to Win a Cruise BINGO and wheeee...I won...well I tied; then I had to go up on stage with the other winner who brought his cute little boy to pick the ball for him (that is how they break the tie; we both had to pick a ball and the highest one wins). So when I get up there, the door to where the balls are is open and I spied the #36....now there are 80 balls (right?) for BINGO, but for some reason, in my mind, I thought "I HAVE to get the # 36 ball. BUT you can't look at the balls when you pick, you have to look away..so the little boy reached in and picked a ball and he gets the #35 ball (and I am SURE he was the crowd favorite), then I stick my hand in and I get......drum roll.....the #36 ball....whee....Nobody wanted to hear that whole story..but it was so much fun:) Anyway, we got a choice..3, 4, 5 day..picked the 5 day on the Imagination in May 07, loved it again so much went on a 7 day on Valor in May 08 and as you see my next cruise is on the Miracle in May 09. Sry for long post..but it really was alot of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've been to one a long time ago, but I buy all-inclusive now so there's no need for me to go for the free drinks! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wants2cruise Posted January 11, 2009 #10 Share Posted January 11, 2009 One of my CC roll call friends from our Alaska cruise had won several cruises, but I don't think that they were connected with the cruise lines. She only told me that she enters every contest that she can, so I don't know, who or how, but it obviously works out for her. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking that might be available to large groups? Just curious. And congrats to all you cruise winners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becky48417 Posted January 11, 2009 #13 Share Posted January 11, 2009 All-inclusive is for 30 or more passengers in a group. Everyone in the group MUST participate and the Open Bar Card costs about $310. This will be our 2nd year with the bar cards and we love them!

tbjl24 Posted January 11, 2009 #14 Share Posted January 11, 2009 So if you win, it is a 3, 4 or 5 nighter, right? What category? Can you pay the difference to upgrade cabins? Or to 7 nights? Or how about both????? :D:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family and friends do an all inclusive every year. They generally do RCI and I finally talked them into doing one on my cruise line of choice.. Carnival. Those DODs are going to look mighty good when I don't have to worry about my sail and sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
