1.00This was supposed to be the cherry on our sundae visit to Amsterdam. Instead it was more like the sediment from a bad bottle of wine. 1. No way to know where to line up. We had to ask other boat companies. No employee to check you in. Just a mob on the dock. 2. Only provided 2 glasses (short) of a Spanish white wine. No choices. One glass of Coke for our teen. No beer, no gluwhein, no red wine, did I mention no other choices. 3. One small tray of cheeses for 3 people. No clue what they were-one spicy, one truffle-but not Dutch. 4. No audio -except for a programmed voice that we could not hear over conversations. The trains and trams are quieter. The captain said 2-3 items of note. No interaction. 5. My teen and another slept through the tour. 6. I feel like I could have stood on a canal bridge and tossed my money into the canal for more value.
Second time taking a...
