Flowers Hawaii

[faerievert]

I've read that you can bring flowers on board on your port days. Is this still true in Hawaii? I can't find any mention of it from the last few years. I'm sure I can't take them off the ship at the mainland (were they to last that long), but it would be amazing to get a bouquet for my birthday in Hilo to bring back onboard with me.

It depends on what type of flowers. https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/resources/travelers-int/!ut/p/z1/04_iUlDg4tKPAFJABpSA0fpReYllmemJJZn5eYk5-hH6kVFm8T7-Js6GTsEGQNrVycDRNcjc19XV08jd10Q_HE1BmIcZUEFIaIifhaGTp6WRfhQx-g1wAEcD4vTjURCF33gvwhZE4VNi4GGAoQAzDAi5oiA3NDSiMtgz3VFREQBLWYvc/?1dmy&urile=wcm%3apath%3a%2Faphis_content_library%2Fsa_resources%2Ftraveler%2Fhawaii%2Fhawaiian_products

Yikes! I don’t want to get in trouble with agricultural inspections at the port when I don’t have any intention of bringing cut flowers home. That seems like it might be too much fuss. I’ll ask when i’m on the ship if no one can confirm it’s actually easy.

I've never had a problem bringing flowers on board in ports - including Hawaii.

 

You can't take them off the ship but you can certainly bring them on.

 

Always good to double check if there is some kind of "bug" they want to avoid bringing on the ship but that's really pretty rare 😉

We were able to bring flowers onto the ship in Hawaii.

 

But I think last year the World Cruise travelers were told that they couldn't bring them on.
