roberts2005 Posted January 30, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Will housekeeping supply a vase for flowers. Thinking of buying flowers at the market in Tahiti and want to know if I need to buy an arrangement with its own vase or can I buy a bunch of flowers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted January 30, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 30, 2016 If you are in a suite, you'll have a vase because they give you flowers to begin with. I don't know about lower level cabins ... but I doubt that they would refuse to give you a vase for the purpose. I suggest you contact your TA or Oceania to determine the answer. Many of us are very knowledgeable about various aspects of a cruise, but there are always questions that we can only GUESS about the answers. I think this is one of those. At least it is for me. Good luck! Mura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no fuss travel Posted January 30, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 30, 2016 When we were in Tahiti and bought flowers at the market, they were already in a vase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetiredFL Posted January 30, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Since you are in a penthouse, your butler will commit hari-kari if he can't get one for you.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunding Posted January 30, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 30, 2016 No problem with getting as many vases as your heart desires. I mean, I wouldn't necessarily schedule a funeral on board, but…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no fuss travel Posted January 30, 2016 #8 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Thanks for the help. If they come with a vase in Tahiti that will be great. We are in a Penthouse The flowers one can purchase at the market are beautiful. Our flower arrangement lasted from Papeete to Auckland. We just had to remember to water it. If you are in a penthouse, your butler could water it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiidan Posted January 31, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Having lived for over a decade in the region and frequent Tahiti visitor.. let me give you a tad bit of advice... Check your flowers for "passengers"..many time the local bugs lay eggs in or on the flowers and several days after you buy them you can be sharing your cabin with un-welcome cabin mates er mites. They dont spray in Tahiti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no fuss travel Posted January 31, 2016 #10 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I guess we were lucky, no unwanted visitors on our flowers. Maybe because we carried the flowers from the market to the ship ourselves, the flowers lost all the uninvited guests.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvgal Posted January 31, 2016 #12 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Since you are in a penthouse, your butler will commit hari-kari if he can't get one for you.:D I wholeheartedly agree. Several times I have brought flowers onboard, and either they were taken from me at the gangway, taken somewhere, beautifully arranged and delivered to the cabin, or taken to reception for arrangement and delivery. Never have had a problem.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
