Places to buy alcohol

[Elvislove]

We are cruising Disney and are first time cruisers. Disney allows you to bring alcohol on board. Is it easy to find places close to the ship to buy? We are planning to do excursions through the ship and thought we would grab something as we are dropped back off if that's possible.

Plenty of places right near the ship for alcohol. Stores: Gourmet Gallery, Caribana, Dynasty Dazzlers, AH Riise. Not sure how prices compare, though.

Good plan. We did Magic Kingdom before our Disney cruise & hit the gas station near our hotel before we got on the shuttle to Cape Canaveral.

Dear Elvislove,

Disney if your allowed alcohol .. in US, St. Thomas look at what you are allowed to bring back to the mainland as you have a great benefit by porting in St Thomas . make sure at least one bottle is distilled in the US Virgin Islands as it really increase what your allowed to bring back!

Oddly the lowest cost basis in St Thomas for liquor and tobacco is at K Mart! So depending where you dock one is very walkable just up a wee bit or the other a taxi is advisable from.

On yopur excursion ask they may drop you or wait at K Mart .. giving your driver a bottle may be better too.

Lots of places within easy walking distance of port. Most will deliver to the ship as long as you buy before a certain time.

 

Also as others have mentioned, duty free allowances are different when you stop in the USVI. Each adult can bring back 6 liters of alcohol instead of just one as long as one is made in the Virgin Islands. Good choices are Bones or Cruzan rums.
