Lovers Canal Cruises has mixed reviews from customers. Customers particularly appreciate service and quality, though some mention concerns about customer service and expensive.
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!.
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 β die ik op dat moment telefonisch sprak β 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.

We hebben ruim 60 minuten langer moeten wachten in een ongeorganiseerde rij. Er was te weinig personeel aanwezig om de boel goed aan te sturen. Er mochten geen eigen consumpties mee maar het lovers café was dicht. Oftewel géén enkele mogelijkheid om wat te eten of drinken. Daarnaast hadden we betaald voor een duurdere cruise dan de boot die we uiteindelijk kregen.

Terribly disappointing! Don't waste your money on this cruise. Find another company. What lights are they referring to in this, "light festival?" The lights that people put in their widows? I don't understand how we were suckered into taking this "lovers cruise." Hardly any special lights were displayed and if there was a light another boat covered it and we "cruised" passed. It's a day later and I still can't get over the fact that we took this boat but saw more lights walking. Once again, don't waste your money.

Slechtste ervaring ooit. Eerst waren de boten volledig overboekt en heb ik 50 min in de rij moeten staan wachten. Slechte organisatie worden ook verkeerde tijden omgeroepen waardoor er veel onrust ontstond. Toen ik eindelijk in de boot zat kon ik weinig zien. Als je niet bij het raam zit dan kan je al helemaal weinig zien. Het is ongelofelijk heet in de boot. De lichtkunstwerken waren simpel zelfs een 4 jarige had nog betere dingen kunnen bedenken. Geld en tijd verspilling, geen aanrader en niet doen dus!!

I had a great time on this tour! The staff is super welcoming, the boat was comfortable and on time. We were especially enchanted by the quality of the whole experience, especially the poetic audio guidance, totally synched with the tour. We will certainly do it again when we have friends and family over.
