(More customer reviews)Saved TONS of money on a cruise by packing our own...it's lightweight design and small mini flasks allowed us to carry it anywhere and refill with the larger flasks as needed back in the room. We still use them if we need to bring liquor to a party etc. I have two designer flasks (Ed Hardy leather and Neiman's swarovski crystal studded) yet I still wind up carrying the rum runner ones instead...easy to fill, carry, and they hold more and are lightweight! I have passed the recommendation on to many travelers!
Oh, as for the plastic factor of it...it's amazingly firm. We packed them all, full, and they went through 2 flights in 4 different suitcases with not a leak and then a few were still full on our return flights and made it home just fine. Our shampoo bottle made of heavy plastic got crushed and leaked (we have soft sided luggage) but these did not. We packed them in different bags wondering if the cruise's xray machine would have them show up on one and they'd ask for em but they didn't show up at all.
Incidentally, we looked into the cruise rules before packing these, on the cruise line we went on they said you CAN bring your own liquor on board, but if they find bottles via xray they will ask that they keep them til the end of the trip. Kind of an oxymoron. You are allowed unless they see them on the xray? Well, this made that a win/win rule.
The plastic doesn't show up via xray but we would order a diet coke at the bar and no bartender minded at all when we poured in some rum from our flask (I was told they wouldn't mind at all by others who use these). Even if you just want to use them in your room or when out on the island, you'll still save money. Saved thousands of bucks because ship alcohol is so costly...and we spent that on jewelry in Saint Thomas!
Funny thig is...some we know who splurge on the nicest vacation rooms...still carry these onto the ship or into a hotel. Hey, in this economy, saving on every drink counts!
p.s. Another tip for you: most cruise lines allow people to buy gift cards ahead of time with pre-purchased sodas that are much cheaper than buying single drinks on the ship as you go. Most ships also instantly put a 15% gratuity (or more) on every drink if you don't purchase them in advance. We still tipped the bartenders but we purchased these cards ahead of time and if we ordered several cans of soda at once or had them delivered to the room it saved a ton of cash on the sodas too.
