Purchasing flowers onboard - Eurodam

DaveOKC · October 23, 2023

How and where would I go onboard to purchase flowers for our cabin? Need to us onboard credits, so have to wait until we are on the ship.

It’s my understanding that you can do it through guest services. There are some postings about it.

Yes, guest services. I believe someone recently said that they have the full book of pictures whereas the Neptune Lounge doesn't.

Haljo1935 · October 23, 2023

Correct - Guest Services. And if the florist has not already done the Flower Arranging presentation, you can also place your order there.

There is a large book at guest services. Pick a back up since your first choice may not be available

The first day we boarded, we stopped by the arts and crafts open house (on a 14 day TA- not sure if they always have that) and the flower designer (Louis) for the ship had a display set up. I chose a vase and flipped through album to choose a size, then asked for my preferred colors. The arrangement was delivered the next day and had a full set of flowers on display on both sides of the vase (not just a front presentation like most arrangements).

The tulips lasted a week, and the rest of the arrangement for the full two weeks (we flipped it around every day or so so both sides would get light and we added water occasionally).

i was thrilled with how robust it was and how long it lasted. Used OBC to pay and it was a bargain at $47.50. Would have cost substantially more on shore. Best thing- since I chose the vase I now have a beautiful unique vase to use in the future and remember a great voyage.

For the remainder of the cruise, they were selling the vases on their own at pop up stands on various days. On its own, my vase was $30 or $35 I think.

This reminded me to look at my booking as I normally always have flowers for my cabin ( I usually buy them pre-cruise). But, alas, I haven’t purchased them yet. This will be my first stop once I board in a month! Thanks!!!!

Beautiful! HAL florists are very talented and do beautiful work.

There is a full catalog of designs at the front desk. Tip: if you want something special, you can probably talk to florist and let them design something for you. We've done that quite a few times and it's worked out well. The florists are very creative. We just gave them some really basic design parameters (short, tall, color or specific flowers) and a budget. They ran with it and the results were impressive.

For budget, I just looked at the catalog to get an idea of what to budget based on the standard designs.

The front desk has a book to pick from.

While I did not use the feature to order flowers - it was on the Navigator App.

I was able to order Gallon Disilled water via the Navigator off the Beverage Pkg menu - so I'd assume you could do the same for the flowers.

The flower choices on board are much nicer than those offered pre-cruise on line or on on the Navigator.
