Grocery near pier? Drake2014 question!

Thanks Drake2014 for your great local perspective. We are hoping there is a good place to buy 12 packs of soft drinks (tonic, diet 7-up, etc.) close enough to the ship not to kill us carrying it back and not too expensive. Thanks in advance for the answer!

Well right at the moment there is a soda shortage (no I'm not kidding) so we are paying over $5 for a 12 pack no matter where we shop. [emoji19]

 

Now to answer your question there are several small markets in downtown Frederiksted easily within walking distance of the ship. I'll get you directions when I head into town this afternoon.

Why is there a soda shortage???

I have no idea. All of a sudden last month I started seeing stores running low on stock and prices climbing steadily. I asked a manager friend of mine and he said they were having trouble getting restocked.

Walk up King Street and you'll find lots of minimarts and convenience stores on both sides.
