sweetiefeetie Posted January 11, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Does anyone know if there is a liquor store at Ft. Lauderdale Airport so I can buy a bottle of wine to take on RC's Freedom of the Seas. We booked everything, cruise, air and shuttle through them and would like to buy a bottle to take on board. Last time I packed one, it broke. This way, I can just buy one and carry it on the ship. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkchero Posted January 11, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 11, 2018 How are you getting from the airport to PE? There is a Total Wine on 17th Street. Might be a better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voyager70 Posted January 11, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 11, 2018 We did transfers through RC so not sure we will have a chance to stop. Probably not. Can you cancel the transfers and just get a taxi? It's a short trip and probably cheaper than the cruise line transfers, even with a quick stop along the way.

If I can't get it at the airport, no big problem Taxi is faster and cheaper, $15-$20 each way for the group, not per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterbug123 Posted January 12, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Broward Duty Free Shop in , I think, Term 2. They are tied into int'l flights schedule. Good Luck Sorry, no duty free shop in Terminal 2 at FLL. T2 is mostly Delta but Delta doesn't fly any international flights to/from FLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted January 12, 2018 #12 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Thanks. The transfers were $33.00 roundtrip. I don't need it that bad. If I can't get it at the airport, no big problem The taxi is far less and you don't have to wait for a bus to fill up. Even if I didn't want to stop for wine, I still take the taxi over Royal's transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wine-O Posted January 13, 2018 #14 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I would cancel your RCI transfer to the ship and take a taxi. You can call Total Wine, purchase and pay for your wine, then when you get to FLL, take a taxi and have him stop by on the way to the port to pick up your purchase. http://www.totalwine.com/store-info/florida-fort-lauderdale/904?cid=referral:YEXT::SERP_website_link:904_fort_lauderdale_store_page: It should be easy peasy. No muss, no fuss. P.S. There's really no reason to take the RCI transfer from/to the airport at FLL. In fact, there are many reasons why you shouldn't.

SG65CB Posted January 14, 2018 #15 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Taxi to wine shop and back to airport, then RC transfer to the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted January 14, 2018 #16 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Taxi to wine shop and back to airport, then RC transfer to the ship? Once youi get to Total Wine, you are basically at the entrance to the port. I'd just pay the taxi to wait. Total Wine takes web orders, so the order could be ready to go.

KiwiGal117 Posted January 14, 2018 #17 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Duty Free is only available to international travellers. Unless you are flying in from Canada (I see you are in Grand Island NY - so close) you probably don’t qualify for a duty free purchase. As well, depending on the airport you can only buy duty Free when leaving not arriving. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
