Kelly17R Posted June 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I get severe sea sickness. I was thinking of doing the acupuncture but NCL website doesn't provide any information. Has anyone had the acupuncture done on NCL Escape for Sea Sickness? Does it work? How many sessions do you need? How much does it cost? Can you please share if you know or had it done? Thanks!

sanger727 Posted June 22, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I've not tried accupuncture but I do get horrible motion sickness. Are you against using meds or have you tried them? I've used the patch and bonine and they both work well. They will be a fraction of the price of acupuncture.

Weetahbugdotcom Posted June 22, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I believe it's $150/session + 18%. I don't know about how many sessions or how effective it is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This agrees with the $177 listed in the post about how the insurance did not reimburse them for the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I've tried the "Transderm" patch, Dramamine, Green Apples, Ginger, etc and none of that worked on me. My first/last cruise was on the NCL Sun ship which is considerably smaller in size than Escape, so I'm hoping it'll be better this time; however, I just want to be prepared ahead of time this time around.

Sorry, just not a believer in eastern medicine. Those meds work for most people. If they didn't work for you I don't know that I would board a cruise with the hope that accupuncture would work better.
