Review summary

This is a review of Juneau Sport Fishing. Norwegian finally after over a week removed this photo but the description is still not accurate. You do not get a fully appointed cabin cruiser. The toilet did not work and the bus left us behind. They did refund half of the fee, but this is not good enough. They stated, "You did get the fishing experience" and kept stating over and over "We don't have boats like that in Alaska". I did tell them they could donate the other half to Disabled American Veterans or Wounded Warrior but have not heard back from them. I did a review of this excursion on the Norwegian website, but it appears they are not going to post it. Overall, the trip was a good experience.

2 bedroom suite. 2nd bedroom was couch/bed with bunk over it. When you consider all the room the Haven has to offer, we never felt crowded until we left the Haven.

Ship tip

Look close at how long you are in port. If you do an excursion, it leaves little time to explore the town.

Looking at the pictures you were quite right to complain about the excursion, and at that price too! Glad you enjoyed the rest of the cruise

NCL Haven is just a glorious waste of money. 💸💸 better spent on a real luxury cruise line.
