I tried the THC test kit from walmart (crap) and it didn’t work. The daughter freaked out and broke anyway. The test showed negative. We bought the ones from a medical supply place, for like $1.50 each but never got to use them.
Anybody ever use them?

I’m planning a 12 day cruise-tour to Alaska this July. Some of my medicine requires it to be kept cold, I know the ships have refrigerators but what about during the land portion? I’m going with Princess cruises since I’ve sailed with them before. I thought if no fridge was available during the land portion I would bring a small cooler with ice packs. I would carry it on the plane etc and it will be clearly labeled Medical supplies so anyone see a problem doing the cruise-tour?
