cruise47 Posted June 8, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Is there any where near the cruise port to purchase some vino for our New England cruise? Thanks for any suggestion. We are flying into the Newark Airport from Virginia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captdave Posted June 8, 2016 #3 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) There is a shopping mall with a Walmart by the port . There are no stores or shops of any kind within walking didtance of the Cape Liberty Cruise Port New Jersey, no alcohol at all at Walmart. Must shop Liquor stores, no gas stations. Stay at the 2 upscale strip malls in Bayonne near the Cape Liberty Cruise Port. Please don't go local, you don't need the excitement! The mall with the Wendy's / Dunkin Donuts is where I go. Worst Dunkin Donuts in the world, just sayin. CaptDave Edited June 8, 2016 by captdave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppro Posted June 8, 2016 #4 Share Posted June 8, 2016 If you are taking a cab from the airport, when they exit at 14A on the turnpike, there are several liquor stores on Broadway in Bayonne that you could stop at. Just do a Google search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are flying into the Newark Airport from Virginia. There are duty free shops at the airport. You might check and see if any sell wine.

gdpups Posted June 8, 2016 #9 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I may be wrong, but my understanding is you can only purchase from a duty free shop if you are flying internationally, is that correct?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
138east Posted June 8, 2016 #10 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Just some background - the question has been asked many times on this forum and no one has ever offered an easy, inexpensive solution for carless folks to buy wine. I'm pretty sure that at some point we researched buying it at the airport and found no solution there. If you must have wine, wrap it in bubble wrap, put it in a giant zip lock bag, and bring it with you in your checked luggage. My daughter always takes beer back to Oregon this way and has never had issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be. Seen the shops but never inquired. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter always takes beer back to Oregon this way and has never had issues. I guess the only real solution is to arrive a day early if from out of the area. Which is prudent. Too much can go wrong coming by air or any distance. I always do that every cruise. I will be leaving from Bayonne this Sunday. I will be in New Jersey on Saturday. Wine in the luggage is not a great idea. I know people who tried that. Wine all over their clothes.

Godiva830 Posted June 9, 2016 #13 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Bridgeview Discount Liquors (201) 339 6001 300 Route 440 South Bayonne NJ 07002 Right out near the turn to go into the port. There's a big shopping center also close to the port with a Walmart but no liquor in the Walmart. If your taking a taxi from the airport stop at the liquor store. It's close to the port.
