All you need to know about Bingo Cruises
July 31, 2009Do you want to hit two birds with a stone? That is exactly what bingo cruises can do. You can enjoy the luxury associated with a ship cruise along with the excitement of playing bingo for big bucks. Imagine being able to escape from the mundane trappings of life yet still be able to play your favorite game.
What to Expect on a Bingo Cruise
The main events of a bingo cruise, of course, are the bingo tournaments that are held on the ship. Jackpots can easily climb up to tens of thousands, and will occupy most of the schedule. This does not mean, though, that you just stay on the bingo hall the entire time. Players who join a bingo cruise will get plenty of luxuries, which will include gourmet meals, varied entertainment, and the different ports of call. Best of all, bingo cruises are starting to increase, giving you better options on which trip will match your preferences.
World Championship Bingo Tournament and Gaming Cruise
A popular cruise for bingo enthusiasts would be by Carnival. Aboard their new ship called Splendor, players will be able to join the World Championship BINGO Tournament and Gaming Cruise. You will be handed a 9on (nine cards in one sheet) for every session, and a total of $80,000 will be given away. The tournament is played on the spacious Spectacular Lounge of the ship and will be played when the ship is at sea. This means that you don’t have to worry about missing a port of call or any other activities on board the sip. There is also a smaller game with a total of $30,000 scheduled on different times of the cruise. That’s around one hundred ten thousand dollars to win for. The person who has gathered the most winnings will be considered the grand champion and gets two tickets on board the next world championship bingo cruise.
Around the Mexican Riviera
The world championship bingo on board Carnival Splendor is for 8 days and 7 nights that starts in Los Angeles and travels around the Mexican Rivera. From there, you have two days of fun and tournaments, and then you arrive at the first port of call, which is Puerto Vallarta. Additional ports of call include Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas. Each port has its own share of different activities you can participate like an ATV adventure, shopping excursions, and even horseback riding.
Players, of course, have the option of simply enjoying the amenities of the cruise ship. You will not get bored of the things you can do onboard. There is a Thalassotherapy pool that massages your back through bursts of water. There is also a water slide and a mini golf course. There is also a fine dining restaurant and a steakhouse for food lovers, and a lounge one can relax in while taking a sip and listening to music. If you have had your fill of bingo, there is also a casino and theater to entertain you. Finally, you can just sit back and relax over the spa after days’ worth of winning.
