Tampa Doubletree, shopping ops

[cinnamon]

Does anyone know if there is anywhere near the Doubletree in Tampa where we could buy some caffeine free coke before boarding our ship? We won't have a car, just the use of the hotel's free shuttle service, which I gather goes to a mall. We are flying in Transatlantic on Thursday 2nd November and cruising on Zenith for 14 nights on Friday 3rd.

 

Thanks, Cinnamon

If you are staying at the one on Cypress, have the shuttle take you to a CVS or Walgreens for a 12 pack. I'm not sure where the grocery stores are in that area but there are two malls. International Mall is upscale and they have Pepsi vending machines. I haven't been to Westshore Mall recently so can't comment on what they have. A lot of places here do not carry singles in caff. free diet coke.

There is a gas station across the street from your hotel. It has a sandwich shop and you can buy soda and goodies. (typical convenience store)
