So-why do people worry about finding liquor stores in FLL and not in New York

[selltile]

different clientale? no drinkers on New York port cruises? funny really when you see the questions about beer and wine in FLL

Maybe because there is a liquor store on every other block in NYC, in Fla also but people think differently about NY.

More Princess cruise ships sail out of FLL....

 

Up until just this year, Princess only had regular scheduled ships sailing out of NYC in the fall and some periodic repositioning cruises. This is compared to FLL which can have a couple of Princess ships each weekend sailing out of the port down there.

I am niether from NY or FL, but do understand that different states have different laws about selling alcohol. Here in Texas, you cannot find beer, wine or liquor in every city. In Texas we have "dry towns/dry counties." The constituants vote to decide where alcohol can be sold. In the city I live in, it was just voted in to be able to sell packaged beer and wine. For my entire life up until now, you had to drive to the next city over to buy packaged beer and wine. You still cannot buy packaged liquor in my city. In many cases around the state of Texas, it may be a good hour drive to find a liquor store. Just a thought...:cool:

MY GOODNESS --WHAT DO YOU DO WITH ALL YOUR OLIVES IF YOU DON'T HAVE GIN TO SOAK THEM IN. aN HOURS DRIVE TO A LIQUOR STORE MUST ACCOUNT FOR THE ICED TEA WE ALWAYS READ ABOUT IN WESTERN NOVELS

Well, if you are like me and plan properly, you never let your supply get too low! I might be out of bread, eggs or milk, but I can guarantee you that I will never run out of beer! :D

Don't even try to get a drink in Fort Laud on Sunday. Most places can't serve before noon and then are limited to Bloody Mary's and Mimosas.

Same in NY.

NY hotel prices blow the alcohol budget!

If you want beer, wine or liquor in NYC on Sunday morning you're out of luck, so plan ahead.

Cheaper sailings out of FLL than NYC. Long trips from NYC, 3-4-7 dayers out of FLL. The budget minded crowd tends to do Caribbean and would probably be more likely to want to save a buck or two on beer and wine. If you paid NYC hotel prices, a $3.50 beer is no problem. :D
