There’s no obnoxious music playing in most public areas and even the casino is relatively quiet. I didn’t wear my earplugs at all outside my cabin.",

Just to get anywhere on the ship you will need to walk through areas that are 90+ dB. In addition, in the middle of dinner, they will just stop service to blast you with Bruno Mars or some other pop music. The fact that they call this a \"sensory inclusive\" activity (according to Kulture City) is a fucking joke. It is downright hostile to people who are sensitive to loud noise. You CANNOT navigate the ship, partake in activities, or even eat a fucking meal, without being exposed to dangerous volumes. \n\nThis is not an exaggeration, while outside of my cabin, I wore my ear plugs for 90%+ of my time. I put them on every time I exited my room. I just got home and my tinnitus is horrendous. I'm desperately hoping this is just a flare up and I will return to my baseline within a month or two. I thought I would be safe with my earplugs, but I'm starting to think that the exposure was so long, persistent, and loud, that I still caused more damage. \n\n \nHas anyone had experience with something like this? I just don't understand how people are fine with such noise exposure.",
