Forced to give a one star

Forced to give a one star, faced a very rude staff who talked rude to us while using the pay n use toilet in the cofee shop .Why would we jump line to to save a couple of euros when we can buy 3 cruise tickets! No wonder the ratings are so poor. That is not 'NORMAL' behaviour while serving customets girl!.

Onbeleefde medewerkers.

Op dinsdagmiddag 10 juni had ik een nare ervaring bij de ticketbalie van Lovers Canal Cruises bij Amsterdam Centraal. Ik vroeg op een normale en vriendelijke manier of ik recht had op korting met mijn pas. De medewerker van de klantenservice – die ik op dat moment telefonisch sprak – bevestigde dat dit inderdaad het geval was. Tot mijn verbazing weigerden de dames bij de kassa dit te accepteren. Sterker nog: ze vielen de medewerker van de klantenservice verbaal aan, terwijl ik het gesprek via de telefoon volgde. Het was ronduit vijandig en ongemakkelijk om als klant tussen twee interne medewerkers te staan die zo met elkaar omgaan. Ik voelde me totaal niet welkom. Uiteindelijk ben ik zonder tickets vertrokken omdat ik me er ronduit onprettig bij voelde. Dit is niet wat je verwacht van een organisatie die toeristen en bezoekers op een prettige manier wil ontvangen. Een zeer teleurstellende ervaring.

I am so glad we got to see the most beautiful canals of Amsterdam from the water. You get to see and learn about the architecture and the history of the city. Our captain was fun and friendly, making some extra comments on top of the audio guide for a more personal experience.

We pre-booked a 2.00pm Lovers cruise which we intended to board on the canal in front of the Rijks Museum. The season is spring/summer. The temperature was about 20deg. On arrival, we were informed that there was to be no 2.00pm cruise and we would have to wait for the 2.30pm cruise. I asked if a refund could be claimed and was told "No". We boarded the 2.30pm boat and all looked good. It was not a busy day and there were only about 6 other people looking to board. Then we were told to disembark because we were to cruise on another boat with a large group which might spill over to 2 boats. Great (groan), the boat was going to be full. Anyway, about the cruise itself. The boat was covered with a perspex top and solid framework. This was not too hot under the sun, but our position up the front precluded the possibility of taking any decent photos and limited what you could see. Commentary through supplied ear phones was pretty poor and intermittent and often, during an important piece of information about a particular building or landmark, the captain would come on the PA to point out that feature. Listening to both the captain and the ear phone commentary meant that you basically heard neither. I'm sure the captain meant well but we would have been better off if he stayed quiet. Overall, I feel that this cruise was a waste of 35EUR for 2 of us. I would recommend, if you wish to do a canal cruise, choose an open boat with no cover and enjoy the sun and better view.

Very misleading.

Very misleading that you book a departure time but it’s really just a lineup time. After an hour we couldn’t wait any longer and left. Terrible experience, very unhelpful staff, treated us like idiot tourists who were disturbing them.

Tickets online geboekt voor lange wachtrijen en GEEN boottrip.

Tickets online geboekt voor een boottrip ‘Amsterdam Light Festival’. Vertrektijd 20.30 uur met het vriendelijke verzoek om 5 minuten vooraf aanwezig te zijn. Keurig op tijd aankomend treffen wij een totale chaotische situatie aan bij Rederij Lovers. Rijen dik met mensen die nog steeds stonden te wachten voor de boot van 20.00. Niemand van de organisatie die ons van informatie kon voorzien waar aan te sluiten en hoe laat je misschien wel zou vertrekken. Wij hebben het uiteindelijk maar voor gezien gehouden en zijn onverrichte zaken teruggekeerd naar huis….geen boottocht, geen Light Festival, weggegooid geld, slechts een retourtje per trein. Waardeloos!

Onpersoonlijk, koud en tja wat heb je nou gezien

Geen WC aan boord hoewel er ja werd gezegd. Open boot bij 6 graden buiten Grote rijen , tijdsaanduiding klopt niet van. Slecht geluid Tom de spreker, niet te verstaan met de slechte oortjes/poortjes

Tickets gekocht met tijdslot

Tickets gekocht met tijdslot, maar desondanks chaos op de PH kade met rijen mensen die stonden te wachten en geen rondvaartboot te bekennen. De wachtijd was zeker 1 a 2 uur, want toen wij een kwartier voordat onze boot van 21.45 uur zou vertrekken op de kade arriveerden, stonden de mensen van de vorige 2 rondvaarten nog te wachten. Wij zijn teleurgesteld terug naar huis gegaan en gaan nu proberen ons geld terug te krijgen!

Was supposed to got in the boat at 18:15 and we just enter at 19:15. After that the light show was nothing special for the price. This was a overpriced experience.

Expectations Hurt

Was Expecting a really vibrant light show, but instead got 2-3 arts. Audio guide was not helpful. And the price that was charged for this was completely rubbish. More like a scam. Only bother going if you have lots of money to waste or you like boat rides. Pathetic experience.
