Certain cabins, depending on where they're located on a ship, can be marred by occasional noise pollution -- think loud-voiced cabin neighbors or hallway elevators dinging open late into the night. Thankfully, some quality noise-cancelling headphones or earbuds will solve even your most piercing predicaments. But before you click "add to cart" on any ol' headphones, read some reviews and find a pair that performs.
