floridacruiser63 Posted July 16, 2008 #2 Share Posted July 16, 2008 There is one in downtown, very close to the Walgreens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted July 16, 2008 #3 Share Posted July 16, 2008 The Downtown Liquor store is on 2nd and Flagler, across the street from the Walgreens. Are you staying near the port? If not, there would be more convenient shopping areas between the airport and the port. You can't walk from the store to the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The road to the pier from downtown isn't really too safe for walking. (traffic) Your best bet would to have the cab driver stop somewhere and wait while you shop before you hit the port. otherwise, you'll have to find another cab once you get on the ship. It'd be easier to do right from the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted July 21, 2008 #7 Share Posted July 21, 2008 is walgreens near holiday inn?do they sell liquor,beer, soda? If you are talking about the Port of Miami Holiday Inn, yes, the Walgreens is about 4 blocks away. * The Walgreens doesn't sell liquor and beer, but the liquor store is right across the street from Walgreens. *Turn right out of front door at HI. Go 2 blocks to Flagler St. Turn right and go up about 2 blocks. You'll see the Walgreens on the left and Downtown Liquor on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luanne21 Posted July 25, 2008 #8 Share Posted July 25, 2008 What about a grocery store near the holiday Inn. Does anyone know of one? I can find one on Google Earth, but have been told it is closed. Any help would be appreciated. Luanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted July 26, 2008 #9 Share Posted July 26, 2008 No grocery stores close to the HI, that I know of. You'd need a cab to get out of that immediate area. What would you need? Walgreens carries many food products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luanne21 Posted July 26, 2008 #10 Share Posted July 26, 2008 We will be there for two days, and our suite has a frig and stove. Thought about getting a few groceries so that we could at least eat a couple of meals in. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted July 27, 2008 #11 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I'd check with the concierge for the closest grocery store. Bayside has a huge indoor food mall where you can buy meals relatively inexpensively. I'd check that out before cabbing it to a store and making my own meals. You are on vacation....take it easy;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any, and what was your impression. We are booked in a suite. Thanks We were upgraded to a suite at HI in January. It was okay. Large with living room, small kitchenette area with micro and wet bar. Bedroom and bath. Nice view of the port. I wouldn't call it upscale. Just a larger (than needed) area, for a one night stay. Wouldn't pay for it at this hotel. Especially for a one night stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
