Curaçao Flower Delivery Holidays: Which Days Are Closed?
Public holidays and Sundays are the days when flower delivery in Curaçao stops, so an order placed on a closed day can arrive a full day later than you expected. FlowersCuracao delivers Monday to Saturday, and orders placed before 11:00 am Curaçao time usually arrive the same day. This guide covers the closed days, what happens to orders placed on them, and how to plan around Christmas, New Year's Day and Carnival.
Does FlowersCuracao Deliver on Sundays?
No. FlowersCuracao does not make deliveries on Sundays anywhere on the island, from Punda to Westpunt. You can still place an order on a Sunday from any country, because orders are accepted worldwide, but the florist will not deliver until the next open day. A Sunday order is normally delivered on Monday.
What Are the Flower Delivery Public Holidays in Curaçao?
Main public holidays are closed for delivery. The ones that most often affect expat orders are:
- New Year's Day (Dia di Aña Nobo), January 1
- Christmas Day, December 25 (the next one is December 25, 2026)
- Carnival Monday, a public holiday during the Carnival season
The service information does not list every public holiday, so if your delivery date is close to a holiday, confirm it through the contact page before you pay. Carnival Monday moves from year to year, so check the date for the year you are ordering.
What Happens If I Order on a Closed Day?
The order goes through as normal, and the florist delivers on the next day that is open. An order placed after the 11:00 am cutoff on a weekday follows the same rule. Payment works the same way on any day: Visa, Mastercard or American Express through Stripe, or PayPal, charged in USD.
If you want the bouquet at a particular time, write your preferred time in the delivery instructions. The florist tries to meet it, but exact time slots are not guaranteed, so avoid planning a tight window around the delivery.
What Is the Latest Order Time for Same-Day Delivery?
The cutoff is 11:00 am Curaçao time, Monday to Saturday, for most areas. An order placed after that time is delivered the next day, so a Saturday order placed after 11:00 am arrives on Monday because Sunday is closed.
Curaçao does not change its clocks for daylight saving, while the US, UK and most of Europe do. The time gap shifts twice a year, so check the local time in Curaçao before you place an order, especially in the weeks around clock changes. For a same-day gift, the Lavender Honey Bloom is a popular choice at USD 68.99 before the flat USD 14.95 delivery fee.
How Do I Plan Christmas and New Year's Flower Orders Around the Closures?
The table below shows the key dates for the next 12 months and the latest sensible order time for each.
| Date | Delivery status | Order by | Price from |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 25, 2026 (Christmas) | Closed | December 22 or earlier, 2 to 3 days ahead | USD 63.24 plus USD 14.95 delivery |
| January 1 (New Year's Day) | Closed | Before 11:00 am on the last open day before the holiday | USD 63.24 plus USD 14.95 delivery |
| February 14, 2027 (Valentine's Day, a Sunday) | No Sunday delivery | Saturday, February 13, before 11:00 am | USD 63.24 plus USD 14.95 delivery |
| May 9, 2027 (Mother's Day, second Sunday of May) | No Sunday delivery | Saturday, May 8, before 11:00 am | USD 63.24 plus USD 14.95 delivery |
For Christmas, order at least 2 to 3 days ahead. The Christmas ordering guide explains the busiest weeks in more detail. For New Year's Day, pick the last open weekday before the holiday and order before 11:00 am that morning.
Does Carnival Monday Affect Flower Delivery in Curaçao?
Yes. Carnival Monday is a public holiday, so there is no flower delivery that day. Because the date changes each year, check it before you choose a delivery day for a Carnival-week birthday or party. Order before 11:00 am on the last open day before the holiday, not on the holiday itself.

Frequently asked questions
Can I send flowers to Curaçao on New Year's Day?
No. New Year's Day is a public holiday, so FlowersCuracao does not deliver that day. Order before 11:00 am on the last open weekday before January 1 so the bouquet arrives in time.
Can I place a flower order for Curaçao on a Sunday?
Yes, orders are accepted from any country on any day. A Sunday order is delivered on the next open day, which is normally Monday. Choose a delivery time in the instructions if you need a specific window.
Is the 11:00 am same-day cutoff in Curaçao time or my local time?
The cutoff is 11:00 am Curaçao time. Curaçao does not use daylight saving time, so the difference with your local clock changes twice a year in many countries. Convert the time before you order.
Can I choose the exact time my flowers are delivered in Curaçao?
You can write a preferred time in the delivery instructions, and the florist tries to meet it. Exact time slots are not guaranteed, so avoid booking a delivery that must arrive at a fixed minute.
