HHI Cruiser Posted August 8, 2005 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Anyone have any information regarding shops at Dover. Is there a place to purchase wine, soft drinks, liquor, at the dock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted August 8, 2005 #2 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I didn't notice any shops at the port itself. We went from the bus to the terminal then herded to the checkin counters, security and onboard. Maybe in town you would have better luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserbunny Posted August 8, 2005 #3 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I live in Dover. There are no shops at the cruise terminal but there are certainly plenty of places to purchase alcohol/soft drinks in the town (approximately £5.00 each way from the cruise terminal by taxi).:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian_uk Posted August 10, 2005 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Famous for its White Cliffs and the landmark for returning Sailors in WW2. A major cross Channel Port for trips to France. A small shopping centre with all the usual shops but I do not remember any speciality wine outlets. Most Brits will go over to France to pick up the bargains as the UK tax on a bottle is very high. A bottle of Scotch in a Supemarket will be around $20.......wines from $4-30. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoshona2 Posted August 10, 2005 #5 Share Posted August 10, 2005 To HHI cruiser, Dover is a lovely little town. We really enjoyed staying there at a B&B two years ago and touring the tunnels under the Dover Castle. If you have time after your shuttle to the ship, do take a cab ride and explore the town and see the tunnels. Go to http://www.frommers.com or http://www.fodors.com and you can research them. You can stop at a store and pick up all your needs before you sail. Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
