kate59 Posted April 3, 2011 #1 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Hi all Just wondering if there is a convenience store nearby to purchase odds and ends before embarking onto ship. We are flying in from Sydney and I want to minimise the weight in my bags and so would like to know if I can purchase a few things close to the terminal.

sludger Posted April 3, 2011 #2 Share Posted April 3, 2011 The terminal at Freo is close to everything, within a mile there are Kmarts Target and if you are there on the weekend you can go to the markets. Great pubs too. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topaz_M Posted April 3, 2011 #4 Share Posted April 3, 2011 A mile is a long way if you are taking the cases with you. Check them in first then go walk about for drinks etc. Check out a map of Freo first :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwjd1947 Posted April 3, 2011 #5 Share Posted April 3, 2011 There is a Coles supermarket across the street from the cruise terminal. It is probably a 2-3 minute walk at the most. You can see the Coles sign from the ship. It is probably a 2-3 minute walk. We bought some Diet Coke. In most ports we visited there was a IGA or Coles within walking distance of the ship. We just returned from a 35 day Australia/New Zealand cruise on Rhapsody of the Seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted April 4, 2011 #6 Share Posted April 4, 2011 It is very handy from the ship. You just cross over on the railway bridge and you are practically there. I think thats the one where we found the Liquorland next door to the Supermarket. Made it even handier..:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwjd1947 Posted April 4, 2011 #10 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Robin, We had an absolutely wonderful 35 days on the Rhapsody. I did months of research on comparing ship tours to doing our own thing. We only ended up taking one ship tour to the Great Barrier Reef because that was our only option because of the number of hours we were in port. We rented cars in 6 ports prior to our arrival over the internet and did much of what the ship tour does at a fraction of the cost. The weather was ideal. The captain kept telling us that he had never seen such good weather on that itinerary. The crossings to New Zealand were very smooth and only rough going around the tip for 5-6 hours. We were only rained out of one port, Akorara, which was a substitute for Christchurch. I will be glad to tell you what we did in the ports if you would like to email me at cindydabrowski@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
