This will be my first time in Southampton and am looking for shop recommendations. Items to buy would be things like biscuits and chocolate, magazines, tea/coffee cups, little things to take back for enjoying once home again.

Hotel is near the West Quay mall. Ideally would like to not be pressed for time if the shops were too out of the way.

Also, is there a nearby wine shop or can I purchase wine in the grocery store?

Any experienced Southampton shoppers? Thanks in advance!

This is my first post. I've already gained ALOT by reading and researching. It's been about three years since I discovered CC via a google search.

Didn't give up hope after a previous trip which, sadly, had to be cancelled. Nevermind, here I am now, with a question for experienced QM2 folk.

Feels silly asking such simple questions, but here goes...

1) The room/cabin fridge is simply a fridge, no freezer for ice cube storage, is that correct?

I have a foot injury and need to ice my foot a couple of times a day, depending on the stress it gets.

2) Are ice cubes always available in Kings Court buffet? Are they available there at all?

3) Or, would I need to ask for ice cubes to be sent to the cabin?

Just trying to streamline the ice cube process. Answers appreciated!
