Are there any stores there at the port to pick up some pepsi's and bottled water at???????? We are staying at the La Quinta east and it doesn't look like there is a store anywhere around close by.................................any suggestions????

Your motel might have them. I didn't notice anything at the port. Are you going to see the sites of Miami? There is Bayside Marketplace. It is near the port. Pretty nice place to hang out too.

Nope, from the reports I have read so far about the area our hotel is in, I think we're gonna stay in our room till we catch the shuttle to the port...................We just would like to get a few drinks to carry on the ship with us.............

No, there are no stores at the Port of Miami, so you'll have to pick up your supplies at a Publix or Winn Dixie supermarket if you are arriving the day before, or, if not, stop off at a convenience store or Bayside MarketPlace.

If you do decide you are going to venture out, Bayside is a great place to spend some time. We flew in the day before our cruise and spent the afternoon and evening at Bayside. We had the best dinner at a Los Ranchos and dessert at Hooters. The entertainment and atmosphere are great.

Also as stated above no stores at the port. You'll have to stop off somewhere along the way.

You can pick up some drinks in your hotel. If I remember correctly they had a very large vending machine stocked with water and soft drinks. Sorry I can't remember the prices though.

LaQuinta East has soda machines on most floor lobbies. We arrived late, but if remember correctly, there seemed to be some stores a block or two from the hotel.

Another choice may be to pick up some bottles in the airport.
