Editorial Summary

The creator provides a review and instructional guide on using specialized plastic containers to bring alcohol onto a cruise ship. After discovering the product through an Instagram page called Cruise Flask, the creator tested a kit containing various sized plastic flasks. The video explains the process of filling these containers using a funnel, squeezing out air to ensure a tight seal, and hiding them within checked luggage between clothing items to avoid detection. The creator emphasizes that these items should be placed in checked bags rather than carry-on luggage. Additionally, the creator suggests using tumbler cups to collect juice from cruise ship buffets to mix with the stored liquor for cocktails. As an alternative method, the creator describes using small, all-plastic mini bottles from liquor stores, which can be concealed within clothing like rolled underwear to bypass metal detectors. While acknowledging that bringing outside alcohol is frowned upon by cruise lines, the creator concludes that these methods are effective ways to save money on expensive shipboard drinks.

Creator's Key Takeaways

I went on a cruise, and I had commented on someone else's video that I was going to get the rum runners and take it on my cruise.

I have found that this is a wonderful invention if you're trying to save some money and get you some liquor on the ship.

I do have another tip. This is what I used to do before I got the uh rum runners.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Put rum runners in checked luggage, not carry-on.
Fill rum runners to just leave a little space, squeeze air out, and seal tightly.
Use a Ziploc bag for extra security in luggage.
Place rum runners between clothes in luggage.
Use plastic mini bottles of liquor, all plastic, to avoid metal detectors.
Roll mini bottles in underwear or towels when packing.
