Earplugs. There is the chance of noise pollution on a
ship that may interfere with you having a good time on your cruise. Creaky cabins; noisy
neighbours; crew moving stuff about early and later; loo-flushing;
air-conditioning; waves against the side of the ship and being too near the
inner workings of the ship or the entertainment areas are just some of the
possible problem areas. Your earplugs will go a long way to making sure you
have a good night’s sleep or nap. The gel ones or the ones made of foam are the
best to use. The wax ones tend to be a little uncomfortable. Experiment at home
with them a few days before you travel to see which suit you best.
