CALMOM Posted July 1, 2010 #1 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I will be on the Diamond to Alaska in about a week and I was wondering if I would be able to by flowers or a floral arrangement on board. I know I could pre order but if I didn't, could I order it on board? Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssbeagle Posted July 1, 2010 #3 Share Posted July 1, 2010 They always have someone set up at a flower table at certain times of the day where you can order an arrangement of just one or two flowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisers from WA Posted July 1, 2010 #6 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I think on the small ships of Princess there is no florist.... (I did get flowers on the Royal for our balcony dinners but did not see anyplace to buy flowers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pris993 Posted July 2, 2010 #12 Share Posted July 2, 2010 We have bought flowers on board but much prefer to buy them in port. Generally find more variety and comparible prices. Have not tried to buy on board in Alaska though. Have bought flowers in Catalina, the Mediterranean, the Baltics and in Turkey. Sometimes we have had the flowers delivered and other times we brought them back to the ship ourselves. Shopping in port for flowers, wine and sweets is one of our favorite things to do.

Loonbeam Posted July 2, 2010 #14 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Even if the flower shop is not open per se, the purser's desk can help. I wanted to send Anniversary flowers to a couple we met on the land tour on day 1, the desk called for someone to come up with some options and prices and they were delivered...

tigragirl Posted July 2, 2010 #15 Share Posted July 2, 2010 do they allow you to bring flowers back onto the ships? I didn't think they would becasue of the flower stalls on the ships. We visited a fabulous market in cannes last year the flowers were stunning and I would have loved to buy some but I really didn't think they would allow them back onboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loonbeam Posted July 2, 2010 #17 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Yes you can, with the caveat there may be customs/agriculture restrictions to deal with. Most likely, you will not be able to take them back off ship... do they allow you to bring flowers back onto the ships? I didn't think they would becasue of the flower stalls on the ships.

The Cabin Steward will even bring you a vase if asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1A Posted July 7, 2010 #22 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I pre-order DW 1 dozen roses every year for our cruise, long story short, this past year on the Ruby after only 2 days, the stems bent over at the bulbs and the roses started to die. I called my cabin steward and within 15 minutes the flower shop had called and had another fresh dozen up to my room. They had wonderful customer service and were there to please, so now I don't hesitate when ordering on Princess. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
