Convenience/Grocery Store near Pier 91?

[shotzyok]

We will be arriving very late the night before cruise and chose to stay close to SeaTac. Plan on taking shuttle to Pier 91 the next morning. Does anyone know if there is somewhere close to the Pier to buy sodas? Prefer not to lug a 12 pack on the airplane but can’t live without my Diet Dr Pepper. Lol

If you are sailing on HAL please be aware the carry-on policy for beverages has changed. Basically it's: No sodas, all wine pays corkage, water not in plastic bottle.

Thanks…..Cruising Carnival and according to website, they still allow carrying on sodas in cans.

ok. Just didn't want you to be caught unaware if on HAL. Haven't checked other lines.

There's nothing near the port. You would be better off using a hotel shuttle before the cruise shuttle to go to a convenience store.

Thanks everyone. I’ll check around hotel.

Several years ago our SeaTac hotel dropped us at the Safeway just south of the airport and then picked us with a phone call. Or, any convenience store as 1025 suggested.  There is a Whole Foods in Interbay on 15^th Ave that is on the way to the cruise terminal.  You could have your transportation stop there on the way to the terminal.

Diet Dr Pepper is not easy to find in the Pacific Northwest.

Since you will have time the morning of your cruise I would suggest you shop for your soda, or anything else you may have forgotten at that time.  Your hotel to pier transport may not be able, or want to stop and wait as you quickly shop.

Oh no!! I see the ship only carries Pepsi products.

Note to Shotzyok...I did a little Google search and it looks like the Targets in the Seattle area have diet Dr. Pepper, at least the Northgate Mall and University Way ones did.  Hope this helps a little.

These neighborhoods (Northgate & University District) are located north of the city and the cruise docks (and way north of the airport).  If you are truly desperate to find diet Dr. Pepper, maybe try the Fred Meyer stores closer to SeaTac (Burien, Tukwila, Renton).  Be sure to ask at the front desk of your hotel for suggestions.

Thanks all! I’ll be checking with hotel on shuttles to surrounding grocery stores.

Because I’m drinking it all! Actually, there does seems to be a production or distribution problem with Dr. Pepper products around here. Safeway has had a more reliable supply than other outlets. Weird.

Maybe use Amazon Prime or Instacart to order some to be delivered to your hotel in advance of your arriving.

You won’t find Dr Pepper at Whole Foods.  We moor our sailboat at Elliott Bay Marina (adjacent to the cruise pier) and there are options in nearby Magnolia and Ballard, but they are not convenient.  It would definitely be “easier” to pick up your sodas at the many convenient/grocery stores available in the Sea Tac area.

We had our driver take us to the Whole Foods near Pier 91 - for me I needed my fresh flowers for the cabin and the kids "needed" snacks to go with their beverages.  Easy in and out.
