JimmyJ Posted October 25, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2013 In December coming into Port Canaveral for the day on the Carnival Splendor. One of the onboard excursions is a bus trip to the Premium Outlet Mall ($60 p/p round trip). That to me seems very expensive. Surely there must be a shopping mall with a variety of stores closer to the cruise terminal where a short taxi ride might be in order. Any suggestions from those living in the area - or those who have had a "stop-over" ??? Thanks for your suggestions. JimmyJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted October 25, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I believe the Premium Outlet mall is either the one in Orlando or the one near St. Augustine -- you are essentially paying for a bus ride. Your best bet is to rent a car for the day and go where you want to go. Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando and St Augustine are the closest with malls . They are at least an hour away by car . I don't think a taxi would take you from Port Canaveral to either without fare surcharge for the time lost to return to Pt Canaveral. Sam for taxi's in Orlando/ St Augustine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalcruz Posted October 26, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Merritt Square Mall is only 8 miles away and has a Macy's. I passed it on the way to Cocoa Beach from I-95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted October 26, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 26, 2013 there ARE malls local to PC "outlet malls" are a different question . . . "outlet" means Orlando, St Aug', or Vero . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyJ Posted October 27, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Thank you, everyone for your suggestions... RoyalCruz - glad there's one close by without having to go an hour away. Just wanted to get some items to bring back to Canada - and some for the rest of the trip too... Most appreciated. JimmyJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
