Don’t bother

2.00Poor joining instructions/directions, chaos on the quayside. You’re crammed into massively overheated boats and because they’re covered you can’t see much. Nearly passed out from the heat and overcrowding. Don’t bother.
Very unfriendly staff

3.00While the actual canal cruise was good we had paid for unlimited drinks and snacks. Upon boarding we were told there was mulled wine, wine beer or soda. I only like mulled wine not any other wine and no beer. When asked what we would like the majority said mulled wine to be then told they were having problems heating it up and it would be available soon. This never happened and when I mentioned to one of the staff I wasn’t very happy was ignored for the rest of the night. The unlimited snacks were a tub of crackers. Not great and definitely not customer friendly. If I went again would use another company as Amsterdam on a canal cruise is lovely.
Fun cruise

3.00The experience was alright. It was short. It was over crowded. I wish they did a better job cleaning the windows. There was a lot of condensation and we had the clean the windows ourselves to see what was happening. The staff was friendly and were attentive to keep pouring us wine while explaining some of the light festival attaractions.
