Sleeping On The Cruise
Bose Sleep Buds II
Allie doesn’t like hearing sound through the night while she is sleeping so she wears these Sleep Buds all night. They are noise canceling headphones that eliminate most of the noise. Since she started wearing these at night, her sleep has improved dramatically. If you purchase these, get the version II, they are way better than the version I.
- Sleepbuds, not headphones: Designed for sleep, Sleepbuds may look like tiny headphones, but they don’t stream music or podcasts, instead they deliver relaxing and noise-masking sounds to help you fall asleep and stay asleep all night.Note : If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not worn properly in your ears, you may not obtain the correct sound qualities or call performance. Change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears

Neck Pillow
We both use a neck pillow on a cruise. They are useful during the day for a nap or at night to sleep. One like this snaps easily to the upper loop on our backpack, so we conserve space by carrying it that way.
- PERFECT CHIN SUPPORT TRAVEL NECK PILLOW – This airplane pillow can better wrap your neck and free your chin, prevents the head from falling forward, relieves neck pain during travel.
- GREEN IS GOOD – At Wolf Manufacturing, we strive to preserve our planet for the next generation of travelers. By using recycled fibers for our neck pillow filling and minimal packaging that’s made from 100% recycled paper, we can help play our part in protecting the environment.
