Traveling with an Indiana Pouch

Hi,

Welcome to our community but I am sorry you have to be here. I have been thinking about your post since you posted it. I travel quite a bit but I have never taken my diversion on a cruise, so on that I can only give my thoughts. First as you already know flying with normal saline in you carry on does not work. I have always put it in checked baggage but only a couple of bottles. I like yourself make my own but of things such as flying I get a prescription and buy the labeled sealed bottles as that is important they probably would have a problem with an unlabeled bottle of liquid. And form what I am told they screen luggage coming on the cruse ship. So you need to make a few phone calls. One to your airline to find out what they way about liquids you need for medical treatment, they cruise line for the same question and your doctor to ask if you can use bottled water or not and for a prescription and possibly a letter stating why you need the saline. As for the alcohol I perchance the small bottles of hand sanitizer and throw them into my luggage, be careful to chose the ones that are alcohol only and not other ingredients. When I travel I use disposable catheters. I always keep in my pocket if I fly a regular rubbles catheter when I fly in case I am separated from my luggage. And if I can I mail my supples to my final destination if I am going for a few weeks.

Those are just my thoughts will you let us know what you find out please it could help others that face the same question? Enjoy your cruse!
