I have to remember to do this on my next cruise since I’ll have some extra obc.  Great way to spend it in my mind.

Agree, my thoughts exactly.  I will go to guest services once on board & ask how to order the floral arrangements.

FYI- I just checked HAL's floral arrangement selections.  The options that were there a few days ago are no longer there.  They have added some vases & increased prices a bit.  Least expensive arrangement is now $37.49.  I was wanting a mixed bouquet w/carnations & other small buds.  Hopefully we will find something we like once on the ship.

Huh, I wonder what would have happened if I had pre-ordered a Pippa (red-pink-multi carnations) for 29.99 when the most similar is now the Catherine at $39.49? I didn't order bc I wanted to surprise my husband on our anniversary!

My mom and I were on an Alaskan cruise on the Zuiderdam in June and were so pleasantly surprised to find a GORGEOUS bouquet of flowers in our room, which had been prearranged by a dear friend. Every single day of our cruise we kept exclaiming at how beautiful they were. We couldn’t even believe how they lasted all seven days and looked just as beautiful on the seventh day. Maybe the pictures online are not very good because these flowers were stunning.

That is the one I was going to order.  I love carnations, plus they usually last longer than roses or other flowers.

BeachBum47:  do you know the name of that arrangement?  It is lovely...

Here are my flowers.  It's called a gorgeous garden.  This is the medium bouquet for $64.99.  I love them and this they are gorgeous to me.

What gorgeous pictures of flowers you all are sharing!  In over 20 cruises, we have never ordered flowers (had some as part of the cabin, etc., but nothing purchased by us).  I had wanted to order a corsage and boutonniere for us for our next cruise - will be over Valentine's Day.  I had been hesitant as one never knows the quality but your experiences have made me feel more comfortable ordering and I did.

 

Thanks for sharing and happy cruising!

That is one lovely bouquet! I honestly have not seen anything so perfect from a shore-side florist!

It’s even better in person. I think Hal’s florists are really very talented.

We love the flowers and here are four arrangements that were in our room on the last trip.  The pictures were actually taken on the last day of the cruise.  So all were a week old.   HAL does an incredible job in the flower department!

 

Also on the last couple of cruises we went on the Florist had a flowering arrangement class that was really neat.
