beanandme Posted October 13, 2006 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2006 You have been such a wonderful source of info for ft lauderdale and was wondering if you could answer a question for me. We will be staying at the Amerisuites on 17th street for a precruise night in Nov. My problem is that my son has grown out of his water shoes and swim suit and because we live in MN, there is no summer wear to be found at this time of year. Are there any discount type stores like Target with walking distance or even any shopping centers that would have these items? This probably sounds very stupid but I have no idea what is carried in stores this time of year other than MN. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Kristi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted October 13, 2006 #2 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Unfortunately there are no Target's or Walmarts near your hotel or even a cheap cab ride away. The Harbor Shops shopping center next to your hotel may have a swimwear shop, the Galleria Mall is on the Sun Trolley route that may help. You may do better shopping online before you arrive.

DiLu Posted October 15, 2006 #3 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I am not sure if you live near Minn. and St. Paul or not, but you can look in a Scuba shop and find these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sueandkent Posted October 15, 2006 #4 Share Posted October 15, 2006 There is a large drug store, I think it's a Walgreens along 17st as you walk towards the Port. The walk isn't that far. We were in there before our cruise last Nov. and they had an excellent supply of water shoes, toys, sunscreen etc. Coming from a snowy place to me it looked like our stores do in the summer months. You should have no problem finding them there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
