Bernbun29 Posted June 9, 2007 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2007 You wonderful cruise critic folks have told me that there is a Total Wine near the Ft. Lauderdale airport; is there a liquor store nearby? Not that we would carry anything on board, just checking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mississauga Posted June 9, 2007 #2 Share Posted June 9, 2007 You wonderful cruise critic folks have told me that there is a Total Wine near the Ft. Lauderdale airport; is there a liquor store nearby? Not that we would carry anything on board, just checking! Just remember that you are sailing out on a Sunday and alcohol is not sold until noon. Buy your alcohol the day before if you are going to the port before noon time on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotJet Posted June 9, 2007 #3 Share Posted June 9, 2007 We have bought our wine and beer at the Total Wine the day before our last CP cruise. They sell wine, beer and liquor. It is a very large store with great selection.

Colo Cruiser Posted June 9, 2007 #4 Share Posted June 9, 2007 There is a Publix and a large liquor store across the street from the Embassy Suites Hotel on 17th St which is about 1 mile from the pier. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southbayer Posted June 9, 2007 #5 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Its funny how in some parts of the country that alcohol isn't sold at certain times of day... Here in the Los Angeles area you can buy alcohol anytime anywhere... I think the times to do that is like 7am - 2am, everyday.:D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinChris Posted June 9, 2007 #6 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Publix has moved to a new shopping center BEHIND the Embassy Suites. It's actually a little further away than it was before. I believe the liquor/wine store in that shopping mall is Total Wine. If not. there's a huge one there and good prices. There are several others on the other side of 17th on Cordova.

Bernbun29 Posted June 9, 2007 Author #8 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I forget that I live in North Carolina where we can only buy liquor at ABC stores! Wine is sold at all grocery stores, wine stores, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwnbwlr Posted June 9, 2007 #9 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Just be cautioned that Princess has placed camouflaged cameras at the exits of all liquor store locations within 5 miles of the dock. The photographs are automatically wired to the ship where the security staff compares them with the photos on the key cards. When they get a match...whoopdedo!

seacrystal Posted June 10, 2007 #12 Share Posted June 10, 2007 We LOVED the Total Wine store on Cordova Road. In May for our Panama Canal cruise we took the water taxi from the Hyatt Hotel, got off on Convention Way, walked a couple blocks to the store and when we got there we bought six bottles of wine and two cardboard bottle carriers that hold three wine bottles for $1.00 each. The plastic handles make them very easy to carry. We got on the the tourist trolley just outside Total Wine and the trolley dropped us off at our hotel. Very convenient if you are walking (and fun). My DH and I each toted a three-bottle carrier with us while checking in for embarkation. The only thing that was said by one of the staff was "Wow, you look like you're going to have a party.":D We liked the carriers so much we just collapsed them and are keeping them for our next cruise.

Packman1000 Posted June 10, 2007 #14 Share Posted June 10, 2007 You can go to Mapquest.com and type in the address of your hotel. Then when the map comes up, you can type "liquor stores" and it will show you all of the liquor stores and map them in relation to your hotel. Works like a charm.
