mo gal Posted April 4, 2010 #1 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Has anyone ever been caught with bringing alcohol on board in Rum Runners? Please no lectures I'm just asking a simple question to THE people that have used them. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phxazzcruisers Posted April 4, 2010 #2 Share Posted April 4, 2010 A couple in line in front of us had the, and were caught. I am sure it does not happen often, but they did get caught and were taken out of line to a separate area. I do not know what the consequences were.

firstplacechef Posted April 4, 2010 #3 Share Posted April 4, 2010 We have used them with no problems. We always put them in our checked luggage not carry-on though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseygirl3 Posted April 4, 2010 #5 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I haven't used Rum Runners for alcohol, but I did purchase their TSA approved bottles for liquids. When I opened the box, it looked like a chemistry experiment. But after I carefully read through the directions, it worked like a charm. Nothing leaked and I like that they are squeeze bottles. And the ziploc bags they give you are very heavy duty. I was able to fill 8 bottles of various liquids (shampoo, condition, gels, lotions and potions, etc.) and they all fit into the one ziploc bag. I think I'll order another set. They are really great! Jo-Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddyMay Posted April 4, 2010 #6 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Hi, I hate to be stupid. But could you please explain to me what a rum runner is? and where I can purchase them? I'm assuming that they are used to get extra liquor aboard? Am I correct? Thanks for you help!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We put them in our luggage -- we're 2 for 2, both transatlantics. What a great idea, rolling them into shoes. Gives them extra cushion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin Christi Posted April 4, 2010 #10 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I think we decided to buy some of these, just for a few drinks in the room to take the bar bill down a little. If it works good, if not oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patseacruiser Posted April 4, 2010 #11 Share Posted April 4, 2010 You should put them in your checked luggage. Just got off a Spring Break cruise and had diet Coke in my carry on and stopped the scanner and literally shouted out 'alcohol'. I said if you roll my carryon out of the scanner I will show you diet Coke. Opened it and it was diet Coke and we were allowed to pass. The rum runners showed up by 2:00 in our checked luggage.

tuggers Posted April 4, 2010 #12 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Checked luggage definitely. Also handy for lightening the load on the way home with liquor purchased on ship or on land.:) BTW, when you order them they arrive amazingly fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmharvey8 Posted April 5, 2010 #14 Share Posted April 5, 2010 They work great..... Place them in shoes, which lay flat on on "bottom hinge side of suitcase" follow directions to force air bubble out. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6502programmer Posted April 5, 2010 #16 Share Posted April 5, 2010 3 for 3 for us. Always in checked luggage, usually in shoes. The larger ones I put in the divider flap of my 29" roller, and they made it just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbird Posted April 5, 2010 #19 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I'm assuming the 16oz size fits best in most shoes, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wine-O Posted April 5, 2010 #20 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Exactly! I ordered mine on Thursday afternoon and recieved them on Saturday morning :D Does anyone know would bloody mary mix keep in a rum runner? You can bring bloody mary mix in your carry on -- not on the airplane, but the ship -- it's non-alcoholic. I usually bring 2 bottles of the "hot" Mr & Mrs T's. They are strictly for my virgin mary's, or so I say. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherylroslyn Posted April 5, 2010 #21 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Exactly! I ordered mine on Thursday afternoon and recieved them on Saturday morning :D Does anyone know would bloody mary mix keep in a rum runner? You don't need to sneak bloody marry mix on as long as it is non-alcoholic. You can bring water, soda, and juice as long as you don't go overboard. Put it in a duffle...not where you have the rumrunners. If your duffle gets sent to naughty room just open it up and show it is just soda and juice and your should be fine. Bloody mary mix is just spicey tomato juice...have fun!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they came in a pack of 6 -- 3 large and 3 small. P.S. I use the smaller ones for Cognac and Cosmo mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
