Rare LHT28 Posted December 28, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 28, 2013 You would need to grab a taxi back to the port entrance or close by there is CVS & Walgreens publix all within a short distance of the port Use the free trolley to get there or some you can walk to http://www.miamigov.com/trolley/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agc291 Posted December 31, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 31, 2013 we had our taxi stop on the way from the airport... since you have a shuttle i am not sure if they will stop but it doesnt hurt to ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted December 31, 2013 #5 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Yes, for the items that you want you can go to either CVS, Walgreens or Publix. The closest of the three is CVS which is just a few doors down from Holiday Inn Bayside. It is about 1.2 miles from the Port Of Miami.

JohninDC Posted December 31, 2013 #6 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Round trip taxi fare from POM to the stores mentioned above will run about $20 -- how much will you save by bringing your own soda and water onto the ship? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted December 31, 2013 #7 Share Posted December 31, 2013 The shuttle won't stop. Especially if there are other riders. So you will check in at the port or at least drop your bags, then head back out of the port area via cab to the CVS which is right on the the main st (Biscayne) along the waterfront. You might be able to share a cab if you see someone else doing the same as you. Depends on your timing. Don't bother going to Bayside Mall for last min. items.

glittaknitta Posted December 31, 2013 #8 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Thanks for that link to the trolley map and info! This is exactly what I was looking for when I logged on here. We definitely want to stock up on bottled water. Does anyone know about buying wine near the port? Is that something in Florida that you can get at a regular grocery store or do you need to find a liquor store? Here in Montana you can buy wine anywhere. I'd like to pick up some cheap bubbly for morning mimosas, as the cheapest sparkling white (not white zin) I see on the ncl wine list is $46+ after you include gratuity.

You can buy wine at pharmacies, food stores and wine stores. The CVS right near the Bayside Holiday Inn should do the trick for you based on what you posted. Happy New Year.
