If I could chime in here...we would like to know of a place where we could pick up some alcohol, too. We'd like to bring on some of the local beer. We are not doing a precruise, just going straight from PPT to the ship upon our arrival. Can we pick up some beer at the airport? Usually the duty free shops are only accessible by departing passengers...?

Or are there any places to buy beer on the islands? I think our first stop is Huahine...any little grocery stores there?

Steve, happy birthday!!!! You sure are getting close to your cruise. Too bad we aren't on the same one!
