bjkTX Posted January 6, 2012 #26 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Like most of the folks that responded so far I have ordered flowers on every cruise, normally the roses. Our first 6 cruises we had mini-suites and there was a table by the door that was perfect for them. I've had the mixed arrangements once or twice and they were very nice. DW always says not to bother - but it's part of the deal as far as I'm concerned - and we always find room for them even if we have to move wine bottles around :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billie5 Posted January 6, 2012 #27 Share Posted January 6, 2012 With a cruise, the flowers could have come from multiple sources and been exposed to others on the ship, there is no way to know so agriculture doesn't allow it. On a British Isles cruise that doesn't leave the UK it might be possible. Actually, import of flowers "for personal use" from one EU country to another is - surprisingly - allowed.

2little time Posted January 6, 2012 #28 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I'm thinking about doing this, to brighten up the room. Has anyone done this?Sue You get absolutely beautiful flowers and they last at least a week. Ours did not have an odor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellbeachjim Posted January 6, 2012 #29 Share Posted January 6, 2012 One of my pre-cruise rituals is to order flowers for my wife to be in the cabin on embarkation day. Included in this is composing a suitably mushy note to go with the flowers. Yes, it's greatly appreciated... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetoholiday Posted January 6, 2012 #30 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I have seen the bit on the Princess website that tells you the price and the gift code, but not how you actually place an order. Can you do it online? Or do you have to phone Princess to order? Oh, and if you have to phone does it matter if you have booked through a TA, do you then need to order them though your TA. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonbeam Posted January 6, 2012 #31 Share Posted January 6, 2012 True, but given they come into contact with plants from other countries on the ship I am not sure if that is allowed or if you have to prove sourcing to take them off the ship...

Loonbeam Posted January 6, 2012 #32 Share Posted January 6, 2012 You have to call or use the order form on that page by fax, no online. You do not need to worry about your TA for this.

lovetoholiday Posted January 6, 2012 #34 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I might be being very thick but I cannot find an order form either. Could it be Princess UK is showing slightly different things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
