Where can I get bottled water close to the cruise terminal

[Astro]

I've read of some of you have been able to get bottled water and other essentials close to the cruise terminal in Fort Lauderdale. Can someone tell me where to get them and if it is walking distance to the terminal or on the way from the airport.

Thanks,

[b][color=black]There are little vendor carts outside the terminal there isn't much else nearby. We usually pack a carryon with some water, it is just a much easier thing to coordinate.[/color][/b][quote name='Astro']I've read of some of you have been able to get bottled water and other essentials close to the cruise terminal in Fort Lauderdale.

There is a Publix on the (I believe it is called)16th Street Causeway, the road you turn off of to go into Port Everglades. It is just west of the road into Port Everglades. Everyday you can see lots of taxis idling there while cruise passengers run in on the way from the airport and pick up waters, sodas, etc. There is also a drugstore (Eckerds?) in that same shopping center. You'll meet up with lots of the ships' crews there too, as that is where they go to get their personal supplies.

This was some of the best advice I got from CC'ers. Get a cab from the airport and have the driver stop there (16th or 17th St.) They will know where it is. Cab fare + the waiting time ran me about $19 (and that was for 4 of us!). We picked up certain things not offered by Princess (i.e. - low cal cranberry juice, caffeine free Coke).

Thank you all; it sounds like Publix is the place to stop by.

There's also a Walgreens within walking distance of the Pier. Its right there on 17th Street.
