Just got my Rum Runners- not what I expected...

[YFancyface]

I was expecting the plastic to be thicker and the lining around the cap to be a little more...I don't know... secure looking... They look like they can easily be torn. And I can't see how they aren't seen by xray! The cap has to show up, no? Can anyone please ease my mind? :confused:

[bcs819]

relax.

 

follow the instructions and fill them with hot water now.

 

follow the instructions when you fill them (DO NOT FILL THEM 100%, make sure you squeeze the air out).

 

Put them in a ziploc bag to make yourself better.

 

Kick yourself for worrying when you're making yourself a drink on board.

I hear ya', but rest assured that they work great.

 

I remember when we got ours last year, I thought "I bet some orderly at a hospital is making a killing with these".

 

Now we did put ours inside individual zip log bags and none of them leaked.

 

I think we had six or eight of them...what? Don't look at me like that.

 

Enjoy bringing your "mixers" worry free and have a great trip.

.....you've obviously read the reviews because you bought them. Did you see any negative reviews? I haven't. I use them all the time without incident. Fill them up, pack them, then enjoy them on the ship!

 

:D

Thanks for mentioning the hot water! I didn't even read the directions b/c I saw the video on the website. Fill up and tightly seal. Got them in the mail today and threw them in the suitcase. I would have been pissed if I was in the hotel room the night before and couldn't use them! :eek:

[harleysmama]

Took two of them on B2B cruises this summer no problem.

[Guest bahamamama1]

what are rum runners ?:confused:

[EmmasNana]

The hot water? must be something new in the instructions. I have had mine for a couple years and even use them at home for various things. They work great...no problems.

[crzycick]

What does filling them up with hot water do? Just nosy :)

[Amerikaner83]

it lets the bags expand to their full size, and gets it loose - basically the reversing of the vaccuumm sealing

:)

[Guest JJWW]

Fill m UP ! Send em to me .:D

I'll be more than happy to check em out for ya ! :rolleyes:

I've used mine multiple times and have had no problems....I've seen one post where someone had one leak around the cap and they replaced it with a new one...enjoy....:)...Dennis

[viciouslysh]

They work great. We take 6 everytime with no problem.

[shipty2]

I am glad to see this thread. I was wondering if those bag like things I looked at were really the rum runners people write about here.Now I know. Thanks!

Hi all, got my RumRunners in the mail recently and filled them up with hot water and then emptied them. How do you all let them dry out? Just let them stand nozzle up with their caps off?

[steelerjen]

I love my Rum Runners. :o:D:p I haven't used them yet for a cruise, but I have gone to pools and parties with them and they haven't leaked or given me any problems. We let them air dry after use. I can't wait to use them in Oct. for our Splendor Cruise! ENJOY!

Another rum runner fan here.........even had them in my carry on bag with no problems.

[firefly4423]

thats why theyre so good. :P They work well, even though they are a bit thin.

[tkportersat]

Ditto! We liked ours so much on the cruise we ordered a couple more recently and just used them for our Vegas trip. Made it there and back without incident...I will tell you that I do pack them in Ziploc bags as well.

I posted I had a leak at the seam near the cap.I did put them in a zip lock baggie.The leak only happened when under pressure or you squeezed it hard.The leakage was very minimal and when I got home,I emailed rum runner and they had me mail it to them,they sent me a new one and even reimbursed my postage.

 

Great product!

 

The xray people are looking for the outline of a bottle.Always place them in the bottom of the suitcase near the wheels and they won't show up at all.

After I've emptied them, I stand them upside down in the dish drainer...there's some condensation usually left after a day or so (living in the ever-humid S. Texas is bad that way), but not enough to compromise the integrity of the planned beverages!

Were they filled with liquid in your carry-on? :confused:

Any bartender on the ship will make you a nice tasty Rum Runner. The only plastic in it will be the little sword holding the fru-fru fruit. They NEVER leak in your luggage.
