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 – 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.

I thought the experience was beautiful, and the lights and commentary was brilliant. However, the massive flaw to the experience was a ticket and queueing situation. We booked to get on the boat at 6:45. However, when we turned up there was a huge queue with everyone who had booked tickets for the evening. When approaching the desk to ask if it was right for us to be waiting they advised time was just time and not to rush. We then proceeded to wait in the queue for an hour and 45 minutes before finally getting on the boat! When you book for a time you expect to get on close to that time!!

Lots of the lights were missing , the commentary was sporadic,late and about art that wasn't even on display or was too late and we had passed it. My back and neck hurt a lot because I had my back to the lights the entire trip and had to sit really uncomfortably. The 3 headphone Jack's didn't work either I think the normal tour would be nice but I was super disappointed in the lights tour.

Nur ein paar Lichter.. nichts besonderes. Show oder Lichterfestival kann man das nicht nennen! Da kann ich mir die Lichter lieber von der Straße anschauen! Sehr lange Wartezeit.. Abfahrt sollte um 21:30 Uhr sein, waren aber erst um 22:15 Uhr auf dem Boot!!! Außerdem war es viel zu eng auf dem Boot. 6 Leute an einem kleinen Tisch und nur die, die am Fenster saßen konnten „schöne“ Bilder/Videos machen… Keine Empfehlung!!!
