EpcotBill Posted September 9, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I just stayed at Marriott Biscayne Bay before my cruise last week. Before my trip I tried to find where I could buy wine near the hotel to bring onboard the ship. There wasn't very much information that I could find in the internet. So here it is for anyone else wondering about this. There is a very small mall in the Doubletree attached to the Marriott. There is a small liquor store there with very limited choices. There is a Publix about 2 blocks from the hotel with a very large, reasonably priced wine selection. It's an easy walk, only about 5 minutes. Just be careful crossing the streets. To get to Publix walk out the front of the hotel and turn right. Follow the curve around to the left and walk straight ahead. You'll see a GNC sign first, then the big green P sign for Publix.

bills blasters Posted September 9, 2013 #3 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Thanks for sharing. We are staying at the Doubletree, and was wondering about picking up some items. Sounds easy. Claudia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills blasters Posted September 10, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Epcotbill, Was there a lot of restaurants within walking distance. We don't want anything real expensive or fancy. We are going to be there on Thanksgiving Day, and hoping that there will something open that day. If Publix is open we can at least hit the deli.

We walked to Bubba Gump for dinner (not a short walk) and took the free trolley back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oregand Posted July 11, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Just what I was looking for - thank you very much for this information. Do you know how much a taxi cost from the Marriott to the port was? D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how much a taxi cost from the Marriott to the port was? D Sorry, no. I was in a roll call group that hired a bus. I think it was about $7 per person, not really sure though.

I have always enjoyed the Caribbean cuisine in the restaurant located inside the Doubletree lobby, or walk 2 blocks to Bin 18 (Biscayne & 18th) for great tapas and an extensive wine/beer list. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
