BTW, anyone booked on the 2010 cruise will be given priority booking status for 2011 and be allowed to reserve with just a $100 per person deposit, and will also receive $325 in discount coupons to be used on the 2011 Bingo Cruise.

Well 'bless my soul"; just discovered that Special Event Cruises has limited the number of bingo tournament players to 300 and increasing the total games from 60 to 80, so your odds of winning have gone up over 200% from previous years.
The $80,000 in total Bingo prizes is guaranteed be paid out! This is based on the current number of registrations as of 5/10/2010.
Optional “Early Bird” games, pull tabs and a special Progressive Bingo game will also be played.

Great news for those of you who have wanted a Bingo Cruise to ALASKA. Reliable sources indicate that the 2011 Bingo Cruise (24th Annual) will sail "North to Alaska"! The dates are September 11-18, 2011 and the ship will be the magnificent Sapphire Princess. I'am told that there will be special incentives for those booking early, so stay tuned for more information.
