pokerpunk27 Posted February 9, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Anyone try bringing rum runners aboard lately? Any luck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crustysam Posted February 9, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Friends of ours bought them and used them well. Wouldn't recommend carrying on during embarkation. Checked luggage? Think about it. Pick locations wisely. outsode pockets probably not a great idea. Yep they got several liters on and nada leaked. I'm not sure i am willing to potentially soil my stuff if something bursts.

Beachdude Posted February 9, 2012 #5 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Wouldn't recommend carrying on during embarkation. Checked luggage? Think about it. This is how I've doine it everytime. Tucked in a shoe or evening purse, I haven't had a problem. Yet? Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeynut52 Posted March 7, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 7, 2012 PokerPunk27- I saw you on the Roll Call and will be on the same cruise with ya. I got the Spring Break Rum Runner Kit. Always in Checked bags my friend. I have only been nabbed once and that was on NCL, but I just stuck the bottles in the bag, so they saw it and I had to make a trip to the naughty room. Toiletry bags and other places where they can be obscured by other items is the best strategy. Also spread out among a few bags if you are traveling with others. I am shooting for 3-32oz, and 2-8oz. flasks. The 8oz. ones I will just walk on with in my Cargo shorts. So I can have a drink while I anxiously await my luggage... :D See you in Miami.

inchwormsz Posted March 12, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 12, 2012 We are also taking them- 3 32Oz's and 3 8Oz's. I packed them, split in three bags in the lining of my suitcase, wrapped in towels and placed by wheels. I also put toiletries ziplocked over each one of them. BUT, I may use the purse/shoe idea and put a shoe in the lining with them. Hoping this works! We are also carrying on two bottles of champagne to mix with OJ! Mimosas! Hopefully it all gets on, but if not, I assume at least some will! Don't know many people who have gotten them discarded and I have read MANY posts. However; many of them are from a year ago and I have heard Carnival has cracked down severely. I have heard they don't send you to a naughty room, they just throw the rum runners out. But we shall see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare stevenr597 Posted March 12, 2012 #8 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Anyone try bringing rum runners aboard lately? Any luck? If Carnival wants to catch you, they will. They certainly have the technology at the port. If you wish to take a rum-runner with you, be prepared to have to spend time to have to manually claim your luggage and have the contraband confiscated.

But we shall see! Said they went to naughty room on NCL. You are correct as CCL does not return booze that is not in the sealed, original container.

CruzVinnieCruz Posted March 12, 2012 #10 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Just used Rum Runners on our Miracle cruise with no problems. It is hard for me to believe that the cruise line scans every piece of luggage. Since they would have empty every cage that hold dozens of pieces of luggage then re-stack it all before placing it on the ship. I think they use a spot check method for scanning.

Vinnie Not that hard to believe. Bags are out of our possession for several hours and there is a natural progression as not everybody arrives at the same time.

ChiBearsSuperFan Posted March 12, 2012 #12 Share Posted March 12, 2012 We've taken Rum Runners on our last 4 cruises. Only ever lost one. I had packed two in one bag, and one each in two other bags. Only one was spotted. Got called to the naughty room and had to give it up. The other three made it through, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afcj1 Posted March 12, 2012 #13 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I've always carried mine on, in my carry-on, during embarkation. That's all I'll say;):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out to sea! Posted March 12, 2012 #14 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Anyone try bringing rum runners aboard lately? Any luck? Why ask? You're not supposed to and you obviously know this. If you wish to break the rules, just keep it to yourself instead of telling the world give it a try and see what happens. Personally, I wish the mods would just delete these threads when they come up. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deborahjo Posted March 12, 2012 #15 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Took mine for the third cruise on the Valor. No problem. I take one rum and one kahula.

BoooBooKitEFk Posted March 12, 2012 #17 Share Posted March 12, 2012 wish people would stop giving the "secrets" for getting them through. other people monitor these boards. just use your imagination and think clearly... you should be fine. 5 cruises attempted, 100% success.

It's not like there was some great mystery about the content when the title is "Rum Runners" I don't mean to flame, but seriously, why do you feel the need to read the thread just to post in order to be judgmental?

cruzegurl104 Posted March 12, 2012 #19 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I'm confused about these. After you open some Liquer, it has to be refrigerated,, (Baileys specifically). So, how do u travel with these in a suitcase unrefrigerated. I'm probably asking a stupid question, but I'm new to the Rum Runner thing. :o, so you'll have to forgive me. I guess maybe an I've pack in bw them would work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would only use them for things that don't have to be kept cool such as vodka, rum, gin, etc., etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesmiths Posted March 12, 2012 #22 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I know I know. But in the Grand Scheme of things and cost of it all. I just buy 2 bottles from bon voyage and don't worry about a thing. Have a drink as soon as I get into the cabin. Not worry about spillage and getting confiscated. Years ago I wold have been a smuugling fool though:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetcurves Posted March 13, 2012 #25 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Do the bon voyage prices go up as you get closer to the cruise date? I had just planned on ordering a bottle of vodka to my cabin instead of trying to smuggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
