Charla, enjoying your reports. We travel with our son who is sensitive to loud sharp noises. We find that using good noise cancelling headphones helps our son through situations where the sounds can be loud. No need for music just turn on the noise cancelling. It has worked for him and has allowed us all to better enjoy our cruises.
