Does Port of Tampa have a convenience store?

[damonadrienne]

Is there somewhere close to the Pier in Tampa to buy soda, water, etc? We are taking the hotel shuttle to the port and were hoping to stock up before getting on board.

 

Thanks,

Channelside ... a shopping/night life type area is right adjacent to the port. I was just there a few weeks ago enjoying a movie and the Cold Stone Creamery -- but I don't think there was a sundries type store, and pretty certain not a c-store. It is not a huge area, but many nice places to eat -- water and soda that you might find in bottles may not be c-store prices. Since you are taking a hotel shuttle, you might want to look for something close to your hotel.

I would probably ask the shuttle driver that takes you from the airport to the hotel if he could stop at a store for you.Probably more choices on that ride than right at the port area. Last year the hotel shuttle driver took us to a Walgreens a few miles from the hotel when he wasn't busy to buy pop and water. This year I will ask the driver ahead of time if he will stop on our way to the Hotel.

 

Have a great Cruise!

There are no convenience stores near the pier or downtown hotels. What hotel are you staying at? If it is near the airport/Westshore area there is a Walmart and Target not more than a couple miles away from the hotel and they might drop you off there on one of their runs or a taxi wouldnt be too much.
