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.

We booked for a specific time but even being 20 minutes early was not enough since there was a que with app. 300 people… The festival itself was even more disappointing. A free walk through the red light district is more of a festival than this event. All aboard agreed that it was a waste of time and money. Even the skipper agreed but mentioned that he was just hired to get the boat through the canals.
I bought ticket for canal cruise with scheduled time 19.15 I arrived 10 minutes before and nobody was taking care the guests. Long queue on the road and people skipping the line. No organization at all. Staff very arrogant and very far for problem solving I don’t recommend this experience. Terrible organization
Die Bootsfahrt war ein totaler Reinfall, keinesfalls vergleichbar mit den schönen Bildern auf der Homepage. Erstens für ein paar Glühbirnen am Ufer stehend total überteuerte Preise, im Boot null Aussicht nach oben sondern nur seitlich zum Fenster und letztlich ist man genötigt mit anderen an einem engen Tisch Platz nehmen zu müssen.
Awful organization, instead of 6-15pm we departed at 6-45pm. So almost an hour just in waiting line.
Das war die größte Zeit und Geldverschwendung meinen Lebens. Das Boot war sehr voll, keine Atmung möglich. Fenster haben sich beschlagen, man konnte schlecht rausschauen. Und die aufgestellten Lichter war der größte Reinfall. Hat sich garnicht gelohnt.
Boat was full, only separate chairs empty very far away from each other. I wanted to go on this tour with my wife. I was told that there are no spots available on the next tour and that I have to wait for 1 hour and pay 5 euros for re-scheduling. I left and never got on the boat.
Wij hadden gereserveerd voor de boot om 19.00. Wij waren er om 18.35. Toen was de boot al vertrokken en moesten we wachten op de volgende boot. Het was koud en met 2 kinderen was dat wel een behoorlijke tegenvaller.
