Testimonials

“This was the first time I have ever tried acupuncture. I had a slip on deck and pulled something in my back. I am traveling with my children and grandchildren and thought I would have to miss everything because I was in so much pain.
My daughter suggested I try acupuncture and I am so pleased I raised such a smart girl. I was the best thing I did on the ship.

I am now a true believer and will definitely use it again if ever needed. I thank the staff for its professionalism and help especially Dr. Norman Wong.”

“I hurt my ankle on our cruise. The cruise line offered a free acupuncture consultation. During the consultation Dr. Norman concluded I needed 3 sessions for my ankle. His knowledge and the generations of experience he taps into was amazing! He made me feel safe for this was my first time utilizing acupuncture. By the evening after my 2nd session, I felt NO PAIN! Dr. Norman was so nice and amazing! I appreciate him so much! He’s my hero because he saved me and saved my cruise!”

“Dr. Norman was a delight! I was very nervous about acupuncture and came late onto the ship with a lot of stress. Dr. Norman was very thorough in asking about ailments and made sure he addressed as much as possible. I didn’t even feel the needles! Dr. Norman’s care and compassion shows through every step of his work. I wish he lived in Texas! I feel like a different person, much more balanced. Give Dr. Norman a raise!”

"Dr. Norman has been brilliant at treating for what I thought was impossible to treat. My hot flushes were eliminated.

“My experience with Dr. Norman as an acupuncturist has been a revelation. My back pain has gone, the knee pain as well, tinnitus has been almost eliminated. I found Dr. Norman to be a happy caring person & would gladly recommend him as the best acupuncturist I have encountered – 10 out of 10.”

"I was very impressed with the way Dr. Norman presented his seminar. His explanations about his profession were clear and helped me understand how acupuncture and Chinese medicine assists the body to heal. After a private discussion with Dr. Norman about my issues, I took his advice and signed up for 7 acupuncture sessions. I have had acupuncture previously, but over the session I had quick results. I purchased Chinese herbs to assist the healing process and Dr. Norman's advice on eating plans have been extremely helpful. I found Dr. Norman to be professional, courteous, caring, and gentle at all times. I recommended him to a fellow passenger, who is also thrilled with her sessions... Definitely the best acupuncture results I had ever had. He achieved a lot in a short time."

“My wife and I came on board the ship on the 12th of September at Sydney when we got on board I had to get her a wheelchair because she could barely put her feet on the ground. After 3 days we went to a learning about acupuncture and herbal supplements. After 1st session of acupuncture my wife felt a little bit better. After the 2nd session of acupuncture she started walking with a stick and did not use the wheelchair after that, and the pain almost gone. She had a bad attack of sciatica.”

“It had been 5 years or more since my last decent holiday. Burnt out, diagnosed with severe anxiety, depression, and high blood pressure (and on medication for all) feeling like a battery that was almost flat, general aches, overweight, and generally not motivated to do anything. After having a massage, Janice recommended acupuncture as I had more knots than a macrame plant hanger. What started out as a treatment for right shoulder & neck, progressed to 5 treatments, working all parts. From not being able to walk up or down stairs (walk like a cripple) I could walk comfortably & was looking forward to life again. Thanks Dr. Norman.”

"I went to Dr. Norman for my carpal tunnel issues and the numbness that I experience in 3 of my fingers on both hands. I was able to attend 5 sessions in a row and the improvement that I experienced in my fingers was astonishing. By the 4th session my 3 fingers nearly felt "normal". They haven't felt that way in nearly 12 years. I also felt relief in the tightness of my neck and shoulders and an incredible improvement in my sinus problems."

“It was by chance that I met Dr. Norman Wong on Allure of the Seas. He is the ship’s acupuncturist. I had five sessions and also purchased Chinese herbs which I started the second day of my cruise. I left the cruise felling less sluggish. He addressed my nutritional & digestive issues. I highly recommend Dr. Wong for any issues you may be having as acupuncture can help you. Dr. Wong is not only knowledgeable in his field, he is caring & has a great personality.”

“I have arthritis and have had neuropathy in my feet for almost 10 years. I had 7 session with Dr. Norman in Mid-February 2019 and saw dramatic relief in my feet. My lower back has improved also. I had another cruise on Allure in March 2019 and had an additional 5 sessions. For the past six months I had tingling on the top of my head. I had scheduled an appointment with a neurologist for late March. However, the sessions have diminished the tingling to a level 2. I have more energy and just feel so much better. I highly recommend Dr. Norman and his acupuncture techniques.”
