Rum Runner Flasks

[clearwaters]

... his Rum Runner Flasks on 1-14-08 and he got them today. I saw them. Tough little buggers. Sturdy. And he got A LOT of them in the order, including a funnel. I'll ask him how they worked for him when he comes back from China in a couple of weeks.

So, If I pack a plastic bottle of booze they will know but, if I pack a rumrunner they won't??? Will thet really find the one plastic bottle of booze I pack?

Plastic bottles will go right through the xray machine without any problem.

I got my flasks at www.easytravelerinc.com. They come in several sizes and are specifically made for flights and cruises. They give specific instructions on how to fill for flights, allowing for expansion during changing air pressure, etc. They have smaller flasks that you can slip into your pocket too to carry around throughout the day on an outing :) I would not carry any flask (large or small) in your carry-on luggage since it is a liquid and will most likely be over 3oz during any flight.

I always travel with plastic flasks, bubble wrap and duct tape! Throw in a few zip lock baggies and you're set. We've never had any issues with leakage. Seal the lids with duct tape, bubble wrap and duct tape, then bag it. Cruising in April on a short trip and will attempt again.

http://www.cellphoneflasks.com does ship the flexible travel flask to the UK and internationally.

I contacted customer service for easytravelerflask.com and they confirmed that they do ship internationally by U.S. Postal Service international first class. He said it takes about 10 business days, but it is the least expensive. He told me you check the box for "international shipping" during checkout and that they ship "same day". I hope that helps.

Do people walk on the ship with these in their pockets?

I got my a couple of weeks ago. My friend works on the dock and xrays the stuff. He really like them and said they would pass. I have used my a a party. They are tuff and strong and the cap is on good. Carried the 8oz in my purse had just enough to make a couple of drinks. They were at my house the next day after ordering. They mailed them the day I ordered.

The website says that the rum runners are "food grade" but that doesn't always mean they don't have a taste to them. Has anyone that has used these noticed a taste to the "liquid" after putting them in these things?

 

A company called Platypus makes taste-free bottles, but they cost a little more.

 

Any problems with taste?

Just ordered my package. Will use it first on my bachelor party to Myrtle Beach, then on my honeymoon cruise!:D

Used these for 6 cruises, 4 different lines, never had a problem of any kind with them. No leaks, drips, taste, detection, and they go flat when empty - weigh almost nothing. Great product - well worth the $3 ea or so. (REI)

try a local army/navy store. they have the green camo ones for 3.00. We put it in ziplock baggies but not a drop was spilled. great for keeping the bar tab from getting out of hand.

We used the rum runners on our last cruise with no problem and no taste from the plastic either. I ordered some today and used the coupon code "REPEAT" as I saw on here and it worked great and I got the discount. Thanks to whoever put that on here!

[trislow]

We have used these and on our last cruise, we put them in ziplocs, then in a shoebox, then wrapped it like a present! I don't know if that was necessary, but it was fun to open our gift when we unpacked!

I used empty shampoo, conditioner, and hair spray bottles (washed them in the dishwasher multiple times) - I had the whole set all filled and stored in our toiletries, made it through no problem.

I am an avid backpacker in wilderness areas in the west. I have used the platypus bottles (actually bags) for drinking water for years. I have never tasted anything but the clear water. They do not give off any taste to the contents. Stores that carry backpacking and hiking equipment all sell the platypus containers. They are very popular and rugged (bouncing around in a backpack).

[quote name='billyelliot']Does anybody know where we can get these in the uk? I have tried all sorts of sites on the net with out any luck:([/quote]

We bought ours in a sporting goods store. Try one that specializes in biking, hiking or camping. Ours are not the rumrunner name, they are made by a company called Pelican something.

We used RRFs on our cruise last year and had no problems. There was no plastic taste and no leaks. We also brought on a plastic bottle of Malibu and that didn't get detected. Although that was on Carnival, not sure how strict RCI is... We flew to our port and there were no air pressure problems with the liquids exploding either.

I do have a question though. On CCL, they had a fruit punch and passion fruit-guava juice that were available during breakfast and lunch that mixed great with rum. Does RC have those types of juices available? We'll be on RC next May and I'm curious. Thanks!

Bought my DH these to pack his Johnny Walker Blue and he said it ruined it, gave it a bad taste. :eek:

I had no problem with what I packed but his was a much greater loss - emotionally, I think, because he had to do without his scotch. :rolleyes:
