Easiest way to block sound in cabin?

[Lady_E]

So we're on deck 8 and I'm wondering if a travel fan will help block sound. I sleep with a fan on at home and it works the best for noise, so an app on my phone won't do the trick.

 

Anyone have a recommendation for small travel fans that are really loud?

Fan is a must for us. After many trials with good quality fans like Vornado Flippi and foldable travel fans, we found they moved lots of air but were too quiet. We now have a really cheap ($13 for two) no name 8" plastic fan we found at Walmart. It is noisy, which is the point.

Yep a fan is the best way to go

We are also good with the white noise from a fan, it works just fine!

We cruise with the HoMedics Sounds Spa Relaxation Sound Machine and it is amazing! We set it to "ocean" sounds. :p

Nope, I need a fan. The machines are never loud enough.

I use this fan

Mainstays High Velocity Portable Fan, 9"

It's impossible for me to sleep without fan noise - This fan works enough for me i plug it in to a an extension cord and set up on my side of the bed - You are not going to find a super loud fan and sorry but those noise machines just do not do the trick

you can also download a white noise app on your phone

You can get a fan from guest services when you get on the ship. I will be doing that, definitely need the fan too.

I did not know this!! How big is it?

I used this on my last cruise. It's not as loud as my wind machine floor fan at home, but its small and creates enough fan noise to help me sleep.

Sometimes guest services will let you borrow a fan without question and sometimes they demand a medical reason for needing one. I like a fan for the airflow and noise. If there is a lot of hallway noise, I find that opening the closet doors helps to buffer the sound.

I need airflow...don't care about the white noise...so I bring a small desk fan...works for me...

Foam ear plugs will work for about 50 cents a pair!

Yep, cheap Walmart fans work the best and they are loud! I have a great foldable one.

I can't stand the angry drone of a fan - that looks *much* better.

 

Generally I just take a pack of these in case I run into a noisy night:

and sleep like a baby.

 

One of the ones that sleeps that is, not one of the ones that keeps waking up crying.

Get a white noise app on your phone and a little bluetooth speaker

[cruisinqt]

I got tired of schlepping around bulky fans on vacation and having my family (that don't use fans to sleep) complain about it so I tried everything until I found the perfect solution. I now use a soft fabric headband that has speakers built into them. I can sync it with my phone. So now with my sound machine phone apps I can listen to the fan, white noise, rain, the sound of the beach or whatever else I want to. ;) And with it being right there against my ear, it's plenty loud, VERY realistic sounding, and drowns out ANY outside noise. Including my husbands snoring which sounds like a freight train and feels an earthquake. 😱

I have to sleep with a rain app on my Ipad. Nothing better than falling asleep to the sound of rain.

DH and DD are going to HATE me on the cruise.:'):')

Try zzquil to sleep, other wise live with it. Maybe cruising is not for you

It's a standard cheap box fan. Works great for white noise. They have a limited number and it's 1st come 1st served, so ask your steward immediately after boarding.

[Crusin Hogs]

Remember the walls are thin ,no insulation in them , get a fan to loud or noise machine to loud and your neighbors will hear it to ... , We always book Spa Cabins ,,dead silent up there

No need to get your panties in a twist, dude. I'll get a fan because that's what I want. I'm sorry you're so cranky.

[Lady_E]

I'll bring a fan but I'll also see if I can get one from Carnival.

[bakersdozen12]

Try ear plugs. I started using them to block out my husband's snoring. Now I can't sleep without them.
