Wine stores near Harwich port?

[Bev]

Hi

 

DH and I are cruising on the Jewel of the Seas at the end of August and we'll be taking the ship's transfer from Heathrow. We're wondering if there are any wine stores at or close to the pier.

 

Thanks for your help with this!

We sailed on the JOS and have used the RCI bus transfer from Heathrow-Harwich...You are dropped off right at the door of the Harwich terminal...inside the port and no stores are really near by...Not that you're going to be able to bring on wine anyway...However the bus will be stopping at a rest area midway enroute where there are several stores in a small indoor mall type shopping center...Good luck and enjoy this amazing cruise....so far one of our favorites !!!!

Thanks so much. We are really looking forward to this cruise and are getting more excited about it the closer we come to the sailing date.

There is a Morrisons a 10-15min walk just outside the port area.

 

A taxi dropping someone off might do a deal.

google puts it in the wrong place I think there are new(ish) roads.

As above there is a large Morrisons Superstore at the port entrance. Its one of those frustrating things where you can see the ship about half a mile away from the store but the road loop about half a mile in distance.

There is a local bus from the railway station by the cruise terminal to Morrison's

The bus stops and links to timetables come up if you seach bus on the above map.

Thanks so much. We'll see how our time is that day and try to find it if we have enough time.
