gottaluvcruises12 Posted May 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2017 We decided to fly in a day early for our cruise. We are going to stay at a hotel in the area. My question is, are there restaurants and bars in walking distance. We will probably Uber or Lyft to get to some places but we enjoy a nice stroll and hope that it will be fun stuff for us to do for the evening and night.

Krazy Kruizers Posted May 17, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 17, 2017 There are a lot of hotels on 17th Street and many of them are close to the Harbor Shops which has restaurants, a Publix grocery store (if you forgot anything), a Total Wine if you are allowed to take wine onto the ship and some shops. There are also other restaurants on 17th Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for the insight. I was hoping we would be close enough to enjoy the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Essiesmom Posted May 17, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Check out the Florida Departures board here, under North American Homeports. Lots of advice on hotels and restaurants, as well as transport to and from port. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gottaluvcruises12 Posted May 17, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Have you booked a hotel yet? Is it on 17th Street? No I haven't booked a hotel yet.

toberman Posted May 17, 2017 #10 Share Posted May 17, 2017 As others have stated - 17th Street area is my favorite. Plenty of "last minute" shopping avbl, as well as eateries. If you're looking for a 5-Star establishment - then look elsewhere. Diners are good, friendly and easy to walk to. Close to the port, so not terribly expensive to get there. Some (but not many any) hotels offer shuttle service (most for a charge) - I would take a taxi. Like others have said - look at the Florida boards for more info. Good luck in your decision - have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemare Posted May 18, 2017 #11 Share Posted May 18, 2017 We always come a day early and stay on the beach. Plenty of good restaurants within a 15-20 minute walk, and a short taxi ride to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
