25th Annual World Championship Bingo Tournament & Gaming CruiseIt’s hard to believe that 25 years ago the Bingo Bugle World Championship Bingo Tournament & Gaming Cruise took its maiden voyage. Yet here we are, a quarter century later, and still the biggest, the boldest and the best Bingo Cruise adventure on the high seas!

Join our Silver Jubilee celebration! With more than $125,000 in cash and prizes up for grabs, there’s going to be plenty to be jubilant about!

The folks who run the Bingo Tournament are knowledgeable and fun. But really, the whole trip is good. There’s the casino and the live shows, the live music all around the ship, the pools— even sitting down for a game of cards is extra fun on a cruise ship.

— Carol Benz Le Center, Minnesota

I love Bingo, and I love the job they do with the tournament! It’s great fun!

— Joan Manicci Port Orchard, Washington

Being able to play in a championship tournament on a huge cruise ship in a beautiful room takes Bingo to a whole new level! It’s really impossible to describe.

—Carol Heale, Sacramento, California

Wow, this is an amazing vacation! Why did we wait so long?

Western Caribbean FantasyNew Orleans From the world-renowned French Quarter and Bourbon Street’s notori-ous nightlife, to Magazine Street with its many boutiques and antique shops, is it any wonder that New Orleans is one of the top 10 most visited cities in the United States? Arrive early and spend time exploring this city’s clubs and restaurants, live music, antique and vintage shops, and so much more.

Mahogany Bay, Isla Roatan With silky-sand beaches and diamond-clear seas, Mahogany Bay, Isla Roatan, Honduras, is one of

the Caribbean’s hidden gems. The largest of the Honduran Bay Islands, it rests on a ridge of volcanic rock and is ringed by the world’s second largest coral reef. Swim in the sparkling turquoise seas off West Bay, explore the coral reefs, dine on savory Honduran specialties in local West End restaurants, or explore the lush landscape, wildlife sanctuaries and pristine marine parklands that dot the island.

Belize. From its beautiful azure waters to the Maya Mountains, Belize has an adventure for everyone. It is home to

many ancient Maya ruins and temples that will entice you to learn more of their history. Whether zip-lining through the forest, cave tubing through Maya caves, touring the Belize Barrier Reef, sailing the cays, hiking through the jungle, or simply enjoying shopping and sightseeing in town—you are guaranteed a wonderful, unforgettable adventure.

Cozumel, Mexico. This tranquil island is one of the world’s top five Caribbean destinations due to its stunning coral reefs and deep, crystal clear ocean waters. The island city of San Miguel remains one of the very few places left in the Mayan Riviera where visitors can truly experience and even become involved in traditional Yucatan culture. It’s also a great place for touring, shopping and sampling a wide variety of Mexican, Yucatan and international cuisines.

Optional Shore Excursions. Carnival Cruise Line offers a wonderful variety of optional tours to help you fully appreciate the cultural richness and natural beauty of your Western Caribbean ports. You may pre-order shore excursions online or book them aboard the ship. Call Roxanne Vasquez at 888-352-2464 for more information, or visit us online at http://www.bingobugle.com/cruise.

We collect basic demographic information from those wishing to find someone with which to cruise. We place this data on our companion list and periodically mail a copy to everyone on the list. We leave it up to you to contact each other and determine if you are compatible. When you select someone, call our cruise specialist, Roxanne Vasquez, and she will book the two of you into the cabin of your choice. Please note that we do not share your information with anyone who is not on the companion list.
