Purchase of flowers on ship vs. pre-purchase

[RobinKS]

I am wanting to purchase a boquet of flowers for my mother who will be celebrating her 70th birthday while on board FOS next month. My question is, does anyone know how selection and price compare on board vs what's available in purchase from Gifts and Gear through RCL? Thanks!

The flowers in many countries are Gorgeous and much less expensive than on the ship.

Used to always purchase an arrangement from Gifts and Gear before boarding. Now I head to the floral cart. Pretty sure they open shortly after muster. Better deals.

Is it OK to bring flowers on board (when boarding)?? Do all ships have a flower cart?

Thanks for the feedback. You confirmed my guess that deals and selection would be better on board.

I do not know if all ship's have a flower cart, but I know I have carried on flowers multiple times...no problems so far. in fact, I just posted on another thread on another cruise line board...http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1627351

One of our cruise rituals is a quick stop to the flower cart. I generally receive a lovely rose bud vase. My husband rarely sees anyone else buying flowers and always wonders why the flower cart doesn’t do more business. There is generally a nice selection.
