DAY 30 — February 3, 2017 — Cruising the North Pacific to Guam, USA

Ship Floral Tour:  Plant and flowers decorate all the public areas on the ship but the most elaborate are featured in the atrium and library areas.  They are changed out every 10 days or so depending on where the ship stops and what  kind of flowers they receive there.  And, of course, what they receive is not always what they ordered so the designers have to be flexible.  The design team is a couple from the Netherlands who are contract employees from Dianthus, International.  They have a budget of about $80,000 for a cruise of this length.   They like to use tropical plants, baby's breath, chrysanthemums, and cast iron plant leaves.  And colored zip ties from Michael's to hold everything together.
