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…

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 bought a light festival canal cruise…

I bought a light festival canal cruise to check out some key points, but windows were dirty & boat is full so it was hard to barely see something.

Aan de snelle kant.

Prima service, had zelf drankjes mee. Alleen waren snel terug en light festival is al best prijzig, dus dat was verrassend

The cruise was good

The cruise was good, but the light festival by boat is avoidable, there is not much to see, to be honest. The Amsterdam light festival was overrated.

Makkelijk en overzichtelijk

De site is overzichtelijk en het was makkelijk een cruise te boeken. Ik miste foto’s van het interieur van de boot en voorbeelden van wat voor lichtinstallaties wij gingen zien. Ook vroeg ik mij af of er een bar aan boord was.

Regular paseo

Es precioso el paseo en barco, pero no funcionaba el audio en Español y se hacía complicado, sobre todo para los niños.

Reserve para el día 2 de enero no de diciembre. Se cambiaría de año al confirmar la reserva..no se la razón. Pero me ha llegado ahora confirmación de que lo hemos disfrutado y no volamos hasta el día 31 de diciembre así que imposible. Tengo todo el viaje programado..así que muy descontentos. Espero que lo solucionéis de alguna forma...es nuestro aniversario y obviamente no he pagado para perderlo...
