Where should I have the cab stop from the airport ride to the port to buy a case of water

There is a Publix just off of 17th St South which is 1A1 that leads to the Beach and to the port.

Cabs from the airport usually go a different way (back way) into the Port, so you will need to specify.

You can also get wine at the store if you want to take that on board too.

Instead of bringing a case of water, we used our own water containers and just filled them up with ice and water from the HC. That is another option.

 

Check google maps and you should see it.

Here's a screen shot from google maps

You can see the airport on lower left, the port on right and 17th St. Causeway near top right with Publix, Winn-Dixie and convenience stores.

If the cab does go by way of 17th St. there is a Publix on Cordova west of the cruise port entrance.

Also, if you want to save money on water, rather than using the water in HC you might want to up to the Fitness Center and fill up there with the filtered cold water.

There is also a Total Wine & More in the same shopping center as Publix

Just for water, don't bother going to supermarket. Just have taxi take you to closest CVS or Walgreens. Walgreen's is right at the corner of the 17th St. entrance to the port.

regarding wine purchases - you cannot buy alcohol before noon on Sundays...(I think).

Not sure this matters to the OP (we all have our own issues and preferences) but for the sake of others we would point out that the tap water on most cruise ships (including the Ruby Princess) will generally equal or exceed the quality of any bottled water. We do a lot of cruising (over 100 days last year) and used "bottled water" every day. We just took our sports water bottle and filled it from the tap :) or had it filled in the Lido.

There is also a Winn-Dixie at 17th and Cordova which is little easier to get in and out of then the Publix. But Walgreens at 17th and Eisenhower and has a parking lot would be another good choice. In my mind's eye I don't see a convenient CVS.

There is a CVS on the southeast corner of 17th street and US1. Come out of the airport and go north on US1 to 17th street. Get your supplies and have the taxi exit the CVS going east on 17th street. You'll be at the port in less than a mile. CVS and Publix both have easy-in, easy-out parking lots. I can't speak about the others.

There is a Walgreens right at the turn off 17th at across from the convention center.

No 8 is correct. The tap water onboard is just as good, or maybe even better than any bottled water. I do not know whether the tap water contains flouride, but I believe that it is absent in most bottled water.
