Walmart at port of Miami.. how far?

[incruzcontrol2]

Hello... I was just wondering how far away Walmart is from the port of Miami? We are flying in and taking a shuttle to the port (I don't think we can stop to Walmart on the way).. but when I get to the port.. I was thinking of taking a cab to the Walmart (if close enough) to buy some bottled waters??? Does this sound like a good/bad idea? Thanks for your input.

I dont recall seeing anything even close to a Wal-Mart anywhere near the port. Someone who has been there more often than I have probably knows better, but the port is pretty much isolated from any shops or anything.

According to Google maps. the nearest one is 3.9 miles away.

If you just want some bottled water, there is a Walgreens or CVS downtown. Check the websites and do a store locator. You can always buy a few bottles at the airport.

Why, the cost of a taxi would negate any savings.

 

Get some at airport I guess.

Good point. $30 cab ride to get a $4 12-pack of water :rolleyes:

 

Unfortunately, there's nothing within walking distance of the cruise terminal. It's located in Dodge Island, which is connected to downtown by a bridge. The closest "walkable" area from the port is Bayside Marketplace (an open air mall with shops and restaurants). This are is safe, however, I wouldn't wander around past Bayside. Downtown is being revitalized but it's not the safest part of town.

Do you fly into Miami? We fly into Ft L. and are taking SAS Transportation and they said they will stop for us, and they are only $15pp!!!

The nearest Wal-Mart is at least 15 miles away.....

Thanks for all the replies... That's why I asked bc I didn't know how close it was and if it was worth going. I basically only drink water and I just wanted to be prepared. Now after reading all of this, since there is not one close by, I'll just buy a few out of the airport like suggested and drink whatever they have on board. Thanks again everyone.

I thought by now there was a Walmart on every city block... :)

The bottled water on the boat is no more expensive than what you will pay at the airport plus everything on the boat is filtered. Save your cash and dont bring any.

I never had any problem with the tap water on the ship. I guess I am old fashioned and can't understand buying something that is free everywhere. I can't tell the difference and would rather save my $ for DOD!!
