Buy wine and soft drinks near Port Canaveral

[GMaCarolK]

We will fly into Orlando and use the cruise line’s transfer to the pt Canaveral pier. Any thoughts about how to buy wine  before boarding the ship?  I am not a connoisseur; access to a grocery store would be effect. 
 

Also, does Royal Caribbean allow guests to bring soft drinks on board?

Publix Super Market Cornerstone Plaza - Supermarket
5645 N Atlantic Ave
Cocoa Beach, FL 32931  about $12 each way by UBER

 

ABC Fine Wine & Spirits - Liquor store
6020 N Atlantic Ave
Cape Canaveral, FL 32920 .... a lil closer but only a block or so . . . 

p.s. in FL ABC is a chain - not a 'state store'

 

Cape Canaveral Liquors

In addition to the 2 bottles of wine per stateroom, you can bring on a 12 pack of water or soda

Do you know if one can buy soft drinks in a port and bring that back to a cabin?  I know that is not allowed with alcohol

It depends on the security officers who check for contraband when you return to the ship. In most instances they will wave you through but sometimes they won't allow it onboard. Years ago on a Mediterranean cruise I purchased wine and olive oil on an excursion in Italy. When we returned they had no problems with the wine but they checked every individual oil bottle for prohibited items. They eventually allowed me to keep the olive oil.
