Happy2Crews Posted December 21, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 21, 2014 We'll be staying at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina on 17th Street for an upcoming cruise and was wondering if there are nearby drug stores and wine stores within walking distance. Thank you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. :) There is a Walgreen’s just a short block away. As for wine, I know there is a Total Wine shop, but it is about 3 or 4 blocks away.

Treven Posted December 21, 2014 #3 Share Posted December 21, 2014 There's a Wallgreens on the corner at 17th and ?. It's right across the street (17th) from the Marriott Renaissance. Unfortunately I didn't notice the name of the cross street when I went there for my last minute needs and munchie attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdie 0229 Posted December 21, 2014 #4 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Staying at the Renaissance tonight. It is a short walk from the Hyatt on 17th. Total Wine is an awesome wine store accessible from 17th. Worth a cab ride if a six block (or so) walk is too far. Publix is in the same shopping area. Walgreen's is on Eisenhower just behind the Renaissance. Enter the stores on Google maps for locations. Very easy to find. Panera, Einstein's Bagels, Chipoltle, Bravo Italian, are also within easy walking distance right on 17th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishywood Posted December 21, 2014 #6 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Based on your other posts I assume you are on Regal Princess which departs on Sundays. So don't forget to pick up your wine on Saturday--no sales on Sundays until noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Crews Posted December 21, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Thanks Bridie. Six blocks is an easy walk for us. Sounds like everything we could want or need. Looking forward to checking out Total Wine..... :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare geoherb Posted December 21, 2014 #12 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Did not realize walking in was an option. Thanks!We walked to the port for our last cruise when we stayed at the Renaissance. We've also walked to our hotel after cruises. You need to make sure you have your cruise documents and identification ready when you get to the guard station. The sidewalks are a little bit rough in places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccio Posted December 21, 2014 #17 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I was able to get wine at BJ's in the Oakwood Plaza before noon. The regs ("Blue Laws") vary from city to city in Broward County. Oakwood Plaza is in Hollywood (not Fort Lauderdale) which did away with the restrictions about 20 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Kinkacruiser Posted December 21, 2014 #23 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Thanks for that. I found that directly west (.4 mile away) from the Princess terminal are the Harbor Shops and the Total Wine store is adjacent to that. It looks to be a faster way to get supplies and wine than walking to Walgreens. I figured we'd board early and head up to those shops before sailaway. Do you see any problems with that plan?

I figured we'd board early and head up to those shops before sailaway. Do you see any problems with that plan? You have to walk along SE 17th Street, and enter the port on Eisenhower Blvd. Walgreen's is at the corner of SE 17th Street and Eisenhower Blvd. It is certainly possible to walk from Total Wine to the ship. But it won't be faster than Walgreen's, as you will be walking past Walgreen's on your way to the port entrance. Of course, the selection at Total Wine would be far superior. If it were me -- I would walk to Total Wine, and then take a cab to the ship, so I wouldn't have to lug my purchase(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
