travelbuzz Posted November 10, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Celebrity has us booked the day before our cruise in February at the FLL Marriott North. I understand it is a long way from everything. Does anyone know if there is a wine shop or place to buy good wine close by. Don't mind taking a cab but hope the cab is not more than the wine. Any help greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signman Posted November 10, 2008 #2 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I'm not a drinker so don't pay too much attention.....there could be a liquor store in the shopping center across the street from the hotel, but I'm 99% sure there is one on Powerline Road which is not too far. Call the hotel concierge. They should know these things. or........................bring this thread back to life after December 15th. I'm staying there on the 14th and will keep an eye out for you.

gizmo Posted November 10, 2008 #3 Share Posted November 10, 2008 You could have the taxi stop at Total Wine or Crown Liquor on the way to the ship. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelbuzz Posted November 11, 2008 Author #4 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Thanks for the info Howard, Gizmo I will check on web to follow up on your suggestions. Celebrity is providing our transfers so I don't think they will stop at the wineshops for me to shop. I'm sure with a bus-load of cruise passangers, Total Wine would love us.

Any help greatly appreciated. 67 Wine & Spirits 5479 N federal HwyFort Lauderdale, Fl 800-462-6701 This is a nice store that has been around for a long time. Or any Publix Grocery Store has a nice wine selection, with weekly specials. I think that the closest ones to your hotel are Commercial Blvd at Dixie Hwy and E. Mc Nab Rd. at N. Federal Hwy. There could be a closer Publix or other store that the hotel staff could recommend. Please note that wine is not sold on Sundays until noon anywhere. I cannot offer you information about cab fare. Have a great trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelbuzz Posted November 13, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Royalcruz, Thanks for the info. I checked out the map of the area and this wine & spirit store is nice and convenient to Marriott North. I appreciate the help. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalcruz Posted November 13, 2008 #7 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Cheers! It's about a 10 minute car ride, allowing for regular traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
