Sailingpeace Posted October 4, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 4, 2012 There are two arrangements you can get ( not the roses) that look rather similar on Princess website. Maybe it makes sense since there is only a 10$ difference between both. Any info , tips or advice ? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dietemann Posted October 4, 2012 #3 Share Posted October 4, 2012 They have fresh flower arrangements for sale everyday...you could just see one you like once on board and buy that one.... That's right, and it's a quite good selection. Also they last very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TracieABD Posted October 4, 2012 #4 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Often I buy flowers in port and take them on... Our steward has even provided the vase.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted October 4, 2012 #5 Share Posted October 4, 2012 We received a fresh flower arrangement as part of our Ultimate Balcony Dinner last year. We had it on Tuesday night, and the flowers still looked fresh at the end of the week. We ended up giving them to some of our tablemates who were staying on the ship for the next cruise.

meredemer Posted October 4, 2012 #6 Share Posted October 4, 2012 This summer we received both. The smaller one as the suite arrangement and out TA sent us the larger one. Both lasted the entire cruise (7 dys) and still had a lot of life left...would probably have lasted 2 wks. The only difference is size and the larger one had a Bird-of-Paradise (as pictured) and more simbidiums (sp?) & I think a rose or 2 were thrown in. Noticeably a larger size and more variety. If you have any room less than a suite, I would opt for the smaller one. Either one is absolutely lovely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackieo Posted October 4, 2012 #7 Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) On our Janurary cruise our TA sent us flowers. They were beautiful and lasted for our 14 day cruise. We had a balcony cabin and left them on the small glass table which I never know what to do with! We put the table to the side of the fridge unit so it didn't get in the way. They were a lovely surprise. It was the larger arrangement with the bird of paradise flower in it. - it wasn't too large for our room.

Rare Coral Posted October 4, 2012 #8 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I love the larger arrangement! They are gorgeous and a deal IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailingpeace Posted October 5, 2012 Author #9 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Thank you all for the info. For the daily fresh arrangements, where do you get them? On some cruises I only saw floral displays once, a temporary setup, and on some other cruises I saw none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would apply to the Grand class ships... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_galt Posted October 5, 2012 #13 Share Posted October 5, 2012 We pre-ordered roses when we were booked into a mini-suite. Then we upgraded to a Vista Suite which came with flowers and a smaller arrangement in the bathroom. I had the roses forwarded to the VS. Two UBD's provided two more flower arrangements. There were flowers everywhere! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More reviews like this on would be wonderful and most helpful to others, maybe even a some pictures to compare if some one has it... :-) Edited January 8, 2016 by SirCharlesIII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKman2495 Posted January 8, 2016 #15 Share Posted January 8, 2016 On our very first cruise we took a 3 day costal before a 15 day Panama Canal cruise. On the turn around day, our steward brought a flower arrangement from one of the vacated rooms and asked us if we wanted it-he would through it away otherwise. It was now of the larger arrangements with the bird of paradise and of course, my wife happily took them. They lasted well over another week and looked great. On our last cruise, I had some points left over from my CC and I used them to buy the roses for my DW-it was a surprise. They were there when be boarded and they look great for over a week (we were on a TA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
