mikiew Posted June 22, 2005 #3 Share Posted June 22, 2005 It was fantastic. I had three sessions, it was $299 for the package. I pay $50 where I live for acupuncture, but that is very low. I felt the staff was well trained, and very good. Highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esther e Posted June 22, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted June 22, 2005 When you say $299 for the package, was that for the 3 sessions? I pay $45 here. I go periodically to have my "tires switched and oil changed" type of thing. I plan to go before we go on the cruise, but would love to get a session on the ship also.

Yes, the $ 299 is for 3 separate sessions. My Dad did it, and he felt it was helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashdog_1 Posted June 22, 2005 #7 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I'm reading from one of the dailies from my last cruise. First day here's what it said: Clinic open on sea days from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Closed while in port. Open half hour after sailing until 9 p.m. For aptmts call ext. 4703 first treatment (1 hour) $125 additional treatments $100 package of 3 treatments $295 Package of 5 tr5atments $475 I am looking thru the whole 11 days to see if any specials were offered, like they do in the spa. i came upon an Acupuncture at Sea seminar Oriental Medicine 101, an Intuitive Approach, held in the cinema on deck 3. (this was a repeat. It had been offered on an earlier day, apparently). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Hawke Posted June 23, 2005 #9 Share Posted June 23, 2005 My Mother did it on the Milli in January - twice - didnt' feel like it did much for her knee, but it may help you! Let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandpiper Posted October 10, 2005 #10 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I'm trying to revive this thread. I've never had acupunture. The idea sounds intriguing. Seems as though there are 3 and 5 treatment packages. Do you really need 3 treatments to get the good results? Or does this sort of fall into the Celebrity/Aquaspa sales scheme? One message is Ok, but you really need three to get all the benefits!!! Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One message is Ok, but you really need three to get all the benefits!!! Rob I'm just getting around to reading the threads on this board. I had acupuncture on my cruise a couple of weeks ago, and only had one session. Truthfully, I had a month's worth before the cruise because of a pulled something from housework and gardening!!! However, the one session on the ship was perfect; the acupuncturist said to come back if there was a problem. From what I gathered, the first session was $125 and I belive the rest were $100, but I could be wrong. Never did have to go back and felt great the whole cruise and still do.

PahoaGuys Posted October 22, 2005 #13 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I had the initial treatment on Millenium last November. I think it was $125 and I felt great afterwards. In fact I felt so good that when I got home to San Diego I found an accupuncturists and started getting regular treatments. I thought they were very professional and there was no pushy sales tactics. Most of their appointment times were booked, so they didn't need to push additional treatments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esther e Posted October 22, 2005 Author #14 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I am a FIRM believer in acupuncture. Gosh, the Chinese have been doing it for thousands of years! I would try it before any surgery, unless it was a life-threatening situation. It has helped my asthma and the occassional pulled knee or shoulder. And most important, it's non-invasive! The needles used are thinner than a strand of hair and they don't hurt. I always fall asleep during the session, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
