I’m going on a cruise out of Los Angeles and was wondering if there would be any issues bringing KLOW and Reta onboard. I do have a Nimbot label maker. Am I likely to have any trouble getting these onto the ship?

I’d get a little travel insulin cooler and ice packs and label them as insulin. Either way I can’t see it being an issue. They might wonder why your insulin is blurple 😂

This is the plan but purple insulin might be a hard one to get by lmao.

Put it in a pen. Zero chance they open it and look. Ship security is looking for prohibited items. Power cords. Weapons. Irons. Alcohol. 3ml of mystery liquid labeled as medical supplies isn’t going to register on their radar I promise you

Sounds good, I do not have pens, but I wouldn't think 2 3ml vials labeled insulin with quality label would throw up any major red flags.

If it’s Carnival, you can do anything you want but don’t take anything too valuable. 😂 They have people vaping and smoking marijuana all over those things so I wouldn’t worry about peptides even a little bit.
In all seriousness, I went on a Viking cruise in Europe this summer and didn’t have any issues.

I recently got back from two 3-week cruises (Cunard & MSC).
Security is there for bombs, guns, knives, hijacking tools, and maybe things that will burn the ship down. Maybe they'll enforce alcohol. They don't have time for medical things, even of questionable provenance, short of hard recreational drugs. Also, most cruises tilt towards an older, more diabetic and more obese clientele (especially long itineraries and roundtrip from local US homeports).
If you're storing the vials in your stateroom fridge/minibar, let your steward know so they don't get removed as trash.
If you also use a CPAP machine, find out whether your cruise line still provides distilled water; some are getting out of that business. Cunard has a $25 or so charge, with the aim of discouraging. MSC provides some kind of water that's meant for old car batteries...and their tap water is highly chlorinated.
You should, of course, have the stuff in your carryon, and let the screener know that you have "insulin needles in it so don't accidentally poke yourself". They'll appreciate your concern.

I’ve cruised with Reta, Sema, TA-1, and Klow over the past year with no issues at all. Before switched to pens, I would put vials, syringes and alcohol pads in a thermos with an ice pack designed for insulin. Now that I switched to pens, I usually keep the needles and alcohol pads in a separate bag because the container only holds 2 pens. I’ve brought them to Italy, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Florida (Miami and Fort Lauderdale), New York, Mexico, and San Juan. Not once was I asked about them at airports or at cruise ports. I always keep the container and supplies in my carry on.
TSA will sometimes be a little curious and send my bag for secondary screening, but the moment they see a syringe or a pen, they put the lid back on and send me on my way. Never have I been asked what’s inside.

I put ice in a zip lock bag. I put my shit in a zip lock bag. I put them both in an insulated tumbler. (Everybody's got one) Syringes, they think I'm diabetic.
I don't think I'd even chill it again. As long as I was going to use it within the week.
Our cruises are usually Sunday to Sunday. All said I could just move my day too.

Been in several cruises and airlines, international travel. I have the chiller so it holds the vials premixed. Never even a question in the carry on with syringes and swabs.

Did you stack ta-1 with klow? If so, how did you feel on it? Or with TA-1 in general? TY
